You look around the room... waving your candle slowly through the thick air. The violent storm seems almost to fade from your ears in this room... Sebastion speaks... "This is the waiting room... this is where Vladimir awaits Igor's cure for death. He's been waiting for ten, long years now... Won't you step to the coffin and pay your last respects?"

You cautiously step towards the coffin, grasping your candle tightly. You raise the candle to look inside of the coffin... the light shines through the old cobwebs onto the face of a rotting corpse. A spider trickles from the eye of the dead body. Sebastion's chilling laugh shatters the silence.. he then speaks... "If you do not recognize his name, Count Vladimir... he was also known as Vlad the Impailer... Count Dracula!"

Suddenly, the corpse lets out a deafening moan.. he slowly sits up from the coffin and reaches out for you... You spring back, dropping your candle onto the cold floor in the process. Its' small flame quickly fizzles out...

Sebastion motions for you... "Please, don't let him touch you... or you will become one of the undead...." The corpses' moans are reduced to a muffle as he lays back down in the coffin. Sebastion resumes, "Come close now.. closer... the spirits have been watching you throughout your journey this evening... and indeed... you are a favored one... This deeply saddens me, for if Igor agrees with the spirits, you will be required to give all of your heart, and all of your soul to his experiment! Pray mortal that Igor does not agree with the spirits..! It is now time to meet Master Igor.." Sharp crackles of electricity are heard through the doorway. The lights suddenly ficker on in the next room, revealing an old laboratory. Sebastion smiles... "I see the power has been restored... this is your only way out." Sebastion motions for you to enter the room, and retires back through the house. You stand in the doorway... alone.
