After hearing no sounds emerging from the Crypt for 24 hours, Richardo decides to brave the mausoleum once more.

Entering into the Crypt Entrance, he surveys his options and decides to move west.

The Hallway of Wonders is quiet, but somewhere, a bloodstained rune syphons power into the sigils engraved into the Crypt Entrance and the Pillar Room. Richardo continues on to the Pillar Room.

This long, dark corridor with its widely spaced pillars casts weird, angular shadows, but is empty, apart from the sigil of the Vampire Lord ais523. Richardo turns back the way he came.

The Hallway of Wonders remains well-lit by torchlight flickering in reflection on the beaten gold trophies that are suspended above its doorways. The rune continued to direct power at the sigils in neighbouring rooms. Richardo continues to the Crypt Entrance.

In the Crypt Entrance, Richardo spots a previously unnoticed chest sitting in the lee of a mosaic design. Opening it, he finds a Holy Tincture, which he immediately drinks, restoring his energy somewhat. This time he decides to continue east.

In the Library of Souls he can hear the books shuffling as soul energy passes between their leather bindings. Power flows from this room to each of the Vampire Lords’ coffins as they sleep, and innumerable sigils in this room syphon off more power, agitated by the power emanating from the von Nestor family shield. Richardo continues to the east.

In the Forgotten Corridor, Richardo finds a dead end. His energy flagging, he fails to notice a crumbling mortice at the edge of one of the room’s suspended balconies, and a heavy chunk of masonry falls and strikes him on the head. He is only lightly wounded but nevertheless decides that his energy is too depleted, so he retreats to Zahndorf to rest.

In this run, Richardo’s Energy changed from 6 to 0. gained 2 energy from a Tincture, lost 1 Energy from a Light Wound, and spent 7 Energy moving or opening chests.
