As promised, I will grant you a new section of my castle for the death of another one of my Monsters. Not that I would advise going exploring for long. After all, what sort of fool did you take me for if you thought you could have unrestricted access to a room with as many earthly treasures as your heart can take, all for nothing? Everything has a price, of course. And it just so happens that taking from the Vault has one that could cost you your life.

Three skeletons of golden bone, one for each person who took from the Vault last night, have been given a break from their greed-induced sentences in Hell to reclaim the treasure that was once theirs.

-Although they can be incapacitated for a short time with some effort, they cannot truly be destroyed, and if one happens to touch you for even just a few seconds....well, one can't help but recall the legend of the Midas Touch. In other words, there is the potential for one extra death tonight, without trial.

-Fortunately for you, their minds have been too damaged from their unceasing torment to do more than wander around the castle without a clear target, but don't let that aimlessness coax you into being unprepared if you wish to see the sun again. Then again, I would be remiss to leave out that the sound of clinking coins is enough to drive them into a mad frenzy, sending them rushing towards the source so that they can add to their pointless wealth....so I would be especially cautious if I were to use even a cent tonight, to say the least.

-And of course, I am a man of my word, and I will grant immunity to those who attempted murder last night from being killed by these gold-covered damned souls.

Marble Gallery: Show

-Skeleton Armory: A one-stop shop for the bony warriors who don’t have brute strength or mystical powers like the other monsters. Contains every sort of melee weapon you could imagine, be it swords, axes, halberds, lances, and more. A trapdoor towards the southeastern part of the room leads to a ladder descending to the Catacombs.

-Kitchen: Usually, a kitchen served no purpose for monsters who preferred to…go out to eat, to put it lightly, but one has been manifested to serve the human guests. Note that anything you grab from here has a 33% chance of being moldy or rotten. Dracula doesn’t have the firmest grasp of people food yet.

-Museum: A collection of artifacts and artworks commemorating the history of Dracula’s life and his many exploits. Also contains several weapons from slain vampire hunters, such as stakes, daggers, and a rather pixelated looking axe.

-Library: A vast collection of texts with plenty of tables for one’s reading pleasure. A bookcase has slid off to the side to reveal a ladder leading to the Alchemy Labratory.

-Dining Room: A place for the lord of the castle to host his non-death game guests, however infrequent they are. A long table is located in the center, topped with plenty of cutlery and dinnerware.

-Foyer: The main lobby of the castle. To the west is the main door separating the dominion from the rest of the world, and of course, it has been sealed by a barrier spell.

-Courtyard: An outdoor area populated with menacing trees and dead grass. A magic staircase in the northeast leads to the Hanging Gardens.

-Music Room: A place for castle denizens to decompose when they’re not….decomposing. Features instruments of all types, including a piano that plays itself, a trumpet that only emits human screams, and more.

-Pub: A place to wind down and have a drink. Includes a bar, stools, tables, and an assorted collection of hard liquor.

-Game Room: Even creatures of the night need leisure somehow. Contains a billiards table, dart board, chess table, and various wall-mounted animal and human heads.

-Treasure Vault: Incredible! An entire room full of gold and other priceless artifacts! This is just begging to be taken from!...At least, before it was locked. Permanently.

Hanging Gardens: Show

Observatory: A small amphitheater-like area with a sundial in the center and a telescope off the edge. While the latter can be used for witnessing the stars, it can also be pointed down towards the Marble Gallery; if you even give it a coin, it can see through a wall of a room of your choice (once per night).

Greenery Garden: A space that has on display any flora you could want, from fresh fruits and vegetables to delicate flowers to unsavory poisonous plants.

Somnus Fountain: A black marble fountain depicting Hypnos, the Greek god of sleep. The water that pours out of it is an incredibly potent hypnotic that puts anyone who drinks it into an instant night-long slumber, making it a popular destination for restless castle denizens. One must be careful not to down too much of it, however, as more than exactly three drops of it will enter a permanent, uninterruptible doze.

Fortifying River: A stream north of the Fountain running from end to end of the Gardens. If one were to swim in its waters, they would find themselves with increased physical resilience for the rest of the night. Unfortunately, due to the process taking a heavy toll on the body, they will be twice as weak as how they originally were the following night. Additionally, only 2 players may be blessed by the river per night.

Catacombs: Show

-Burial Grounds: The final resting place for Dracula’s finest servants. Contains the graves of a few dozen monsters, some of which still contain fresh corpses.

Torture Chamber: A sadist’s toyroom. Contains many instruments designed to make a poor soul crack, including but not limited to a rack, an iron maiden, a brazen bull, and more.

Dungeon: A room containing 5 cells, but 3 of them have been rendered unopenable due to rust. The other two (highlighted in green) have keys resting in their holes. Perfect for detaining unruly inhabitants.

The Pit of Oblivion: An infinite mass of darkness that stretches as far as the eye can see. Perhaps convenient for disposing of certain things…?

Alchemy Labratory: Show

-Synergy Chamber: In this room stands two pedestals on either side of a larger pillar. Any two items placed on the pedestals will be magically amalgamated into a new item on the pillar of combined function. The one limit is that an item must not extend over the edges of the pedestal (the surface of which is roughly 10 inches in diameter).

-Cellar: Where the count’s favorite alcohol is stored, with barrels and barrels of wine, spirits, ale, and other drinks available. There are also shelves worth of wine glasses, perhaps an excess of them. One must wonder why.

-Chemistry Room: A generic testing room for creating any sort of compound you may desire, be it acid, poison gas, bleach, or whathaveyou. Plenty of lab equipment and cases of chemicals are provided for this purpose.

-Promethean Lab: An ominous room containing electrical instruments and a slab in the middle. One player who’s devilishly inspired may place a corpse from the Burial Grounds on the slab and shock them anew, creating a mindless servant who will do your bidding. Any minion from this can last until the end of the game, but please note that they would have a weak constitution and can be brought down by less than what’s required for an authentic living being. Although any amount of players may use this room (with a one cadaver per player limit), only once in this game, someone may choose to revive a dead player with limited role abilities to be at their service.

MOTIVE: I must certainly commend the bravery of those still possessing the thirst for blood during this difficult situation, but alas, I still have a quota to uphold, so my generosity has to be sparse. How about this: If there are at least three attempts tonight, one of the attempters will be granted automatic immunity from dying on Night 4.

**You now have 48 hours to submit your actions (until 12:00 PM EST on July 23rd.**

Ah, my fellow country-men.

Perhaps I'll join them tonight - in celebration of last night's deeds.

I found a sick crown in a crate today. I have it on right now but if you want it I'll sell it for 30 coins.
