    That would be a fun way to subvert expectations, make it sound like your typical “rats in the cellar” job:

    “Yeah, I’ve got a bit of a pest problem in the cellar and you came highly recommended.”

    “I mean, we’ve done that in the past, but that’s a bit beneath us now…”

    “The job pays quite handsomely.”

    “…Well, it better.”

    And then the pest problem is a wyrmling and maybe some kobolds

      Brilliant. For a while I have wanted to do a Victorian/Steampunk gothic fantasy “monster rally” campaign in the vein of Werewolf by Night/League of Extraordinary Gentlemen/Van Helsing/Universal Monsters, and I think I may have just found my hook.
