COUNTESS ELIZABETH BATHORY
V A M P I R E
NIGHTMARE IV
TURN THE VOLUME UP
AND THE LIGHTS DOWN
Pre-Game - Playtime... flesh. And I love playing games. Almost as much as I like... bitting people. My temper is the only thing I love to lose... and love hurts. My name is... Countess Elizabeth Bathory... when I request you - "Indulge me" - you will reply, "Forever, my Lady". *echoes* If you fail to reply, "Forever, my Lady", *echoes* forgive me if I do not behave like one. Who is the youngest? Indulge me! Young at heart. Hearts are like promises, child... they are meant to be broken. And like my rules... break them, and I will break you! Roll the dice, child. The number? If any of you ever... fail to reply "Forever, my Lady", *echoes*... that is the number of turns you will miss. Love works in mysterious ways. *sucks in her teeth* I'm feeling playful. Take it in turns to roll the dice, and whoever rolls the highest, will be the first to begin my game, and your nightmare.
0:55 - Suffer! If I have just caught any of you moving your mark... then it's time to put the moves on you. Roll your number to play again.
02:01 - Suffer! Whose turn is it next? Indulge me! The Curse - it becomes you. Care to join me in a game of... blood... sweat and tears? It is out of this world. Roll the dice, and if you roll a one... turn to Page 8 of the Book of Rules, for you... are one... of mine, to love, and perish, forever! *echoes*
03:52 - Suffer! Whose turn is it next? Indulge me! So, scab... what would you pick? Pleasure... or Pain? Take a Black Rose, and if what you have chosen is on the card, keep it. If not... return it.
04:42 - Scrolling text reads: Any runt in the Black Hole is released!
05:30 - Suffer! You will all suffer, some slower than others... the slower, the better. I like to see suffering. It... amuses me. All of you will take it in turns to roll the dice, and if you roll your number, you must turn to Page 6 of the Book of Rules. Then roll the dice again, and read the task that you have been set.
07:05 - If wishes were horses, all beggars would ride. *echoes* And... what are you wishing for? Dreaming of? I can make your wildest come true. Take it in turns to roll the dice.

Countess: Like what you see?
08:25 - Suffer! Whose turn is it next? Indulge me! Do you know how to treat a lady? You can treat me by rolling a 6 to play again.
09:01 - Any runt wasting away in the Black Hole is released!
09:51 - (Elizabeth's hair recedes before our eyes) Suffer! Whose turn is it next? Indulge me! The Curse... eternal youse... blood... and thunder! Roll the dice, and if you roll a one, you have my... undying love. Turn to Page 8 of the Book of Rules.
11:22 - Suffer! Whose turn is it next? Indulge me! Pleasure... or Pain? Take a Black Rose. If it is what you have chosen, you may keep the card. If not, return it, then roll the dice, and if you roll your number, you may take a key. But fail, and you will miss the number of turns you have rolled.
13:01 - Suffer! Whose turn is it next? Indulge me! You are going to love this, flesh. *echoes* This is choice. Fetch the Book of Rules, and turn to Page 7. Hurry! Scum pig! Hmmm. Quite a selection. Cast the dice 4 times. *pause* Give me the total. Now cast your eyes down the page. Find the corresponding number. Then read your reward out loud.
14:58 - Suffer! Who is marked with the lowest number? Indulge me! The lowest of the low. How old are you, low life? I want you to roll your exact age before I return. Have as many turns as you wish. But if you roll a number higher than your age, you will start again. And low life, keep count, or you will be discounted. Begin.
16:27 - Low life? Indulge me! If you rolled your age, I grant you a key. But if you failed, roll the dice, and if you roll a one... you are one of mine. Turn to Page 8.
17:51 - Suffer! Whose turn is it next? Indulge me! What is your pleasure? What is your fancy? Let me... tickle it. Let me spoil you... rotten. Pleasure... or Pain? Take a Black Rose. If what you have chosen is on the card, you may keep it. If not... return it, and move to the closest gravestone... marked with an X.
19:11 - Any flesh *echoes* wasting away in the Black Hole are now released.
19:42 - (Elizabeth's face starts to change) Suffer! Whose turn is it next? Indulge me! You are marked. I have picked up on your scent. *sniffs* Filth! You reek of it! The next time I return, if it is your turn again... you will take a turn... for the worst.
20:28 - Suffer! Whose turn is it next? Indulge me! *sniffs* Is it you again!? *sniffs* The filthy one! If it is you, you are banished! But if you are not the one I marked, the one I... *sniffs* smelled earlier, consider yourself blessed... until next time. For when I return, if it is your turn... I will turn on you.
21:24 - Suffer! Whose turn is it next! Indulge me! If you were the one who was blessed last time... now... you are banished. If not, then roll the dice, and the number you roll is the number of free turns you have to roll your own number for a key.
22:53 - Suffer! Whose turn is it next? Indulge me! The Curse... the bloodline... my blood... line. Roll the dice, and if you roll a one, you have... my undying love. Turn to Page 8 of the Book of Rules.
24:58 - Suffer! Whose turn is it next? Indulge me! What number have you been stained with? How many players are at my table? If it is the same number... take a key.
26:23 - Suffer! Whose turn is it next? Indulge me. Pleasure or Pain? Take a Black Rose. If it is what you have chosen, you may keep the card. If not, return it, then roll the dice. If you roll your number, you may take a key.
27:56 - Any... flesh *echoes* on a stone marked X, will roll the dice, and if you roll a one, you are one of mine. Turn to Page 8.
28:56 - Scrolling text reads: Any runt in the Black Hole is released!
29:12 - (the Countess becomes more ragged) Suffer! Who 'as the highest number? Indulge me! I am going to make you an offer you cannot refuse. Pleasure or Pain? Take a Black Rose. If it is what you have chosen, you may keep the card. If not, return it, and roll the dice, and if you roll a one... you are one of mine. Turn to Page 8.
30:53 - Suffer! Age before beauty. Who is the oldest? Indulge me. I despise old people. They just decay. How old are you? You do not look your age. No... you look worse. I have seen lepers look better. What month were you born in, old flesh? And what is the number of that month? Roll the dice twice. If the total rolled equals the number of the month you were born in, take a key. But if you fail... the total rolled is the number of turns you must miss. If you were born in the first month of the year... you may roll the dice only once. Old flesh? *echoes* Or dead meat?
33:17 - Suffer! Where is the young flesh? *echoes* The youngest? Indulge me! *inhales deeply* Mmm, you smell good. Bet you taste even better. How old are you? And what month were you born, young flesh? *echoes* And the number of that month? Once again, roll the dice twice. If the total equals the month you were born in, take a key. If not, then the total rolled is the number of turns you will miss.
35:51 - Lovers? Take it in turns to roll the dice. You are going to love this.

42:32 - Suffer! Whose turn is it next? Indulge me! I have come for you. I want you... bad! And I always get what I want. Unless you have a card that can protect you from the Curse, you are mine. Turn to Page 8.

51:03 - Suffer! Take it in turns to roll the dice, flesh. Whoever rolls the highest can take a key. Whoever rolls the lowest loses one. If you haven't got one, you must roll your number to play again.
52:05 - Suffer! Whose turn is it next? Indulge me! Toss the coin. Tails, and you may take a key, but heads, and you miss a turn.
52:57 - Suffer! Who is winning? Who has the most keys? Indulge me! You were winning! Roll your number to play again.
53:54 - Suffer! Where is the old flesh? Indulge me! Still stinking? Still rotting? Still putrefying? Still decaying? Lack in your life, dead meat? Roll the dice, and if it is 1, you are one of mine, to love and perish forever! *echoes* Turn to Page 8.
55:07 - Aah! Suffer! Where is the young flesh? The youngest? Indulge me! Toss the coin, young flesh. Heads, and I will have yours. Turn to Page 8. Tails, and you can take a key, to my heart.
56:10 - Suffer! Whose turn is it next? Indulge me! Ever played a pretend game? Roll the dice. What is the number? Ahh. Let's pretend that number no longer exists, and that means the scum pig that is marked with it no longer exists either. Yes... Yes! You are out of the game... finished... extinct! Get... lost.
57:36 - Suffer! Whose turn is it next? Indulge me! Turn to Page 7. Hurry, scum pig! Now, roll the dice 4 times.
58:16 - Any runt wasting away in the Black Hole is released!
58:39 - (Elizabeth's eyes now aglow with a sort of metallic sheen) If looks could kill, mine ought to die for! Take it in turns to roll the dice, flesh, *echoes* and whoever rolls the highest receives all their keys.
60:00 - Finished, I am... and so are you. Time to kiss you all goodbye. I hope you wake up with me in your face. Good Nightmare.

If you wanna have a good time.
