Add to the Dynastic rule “Vampire Lords” before the paragraph describing Allegiance:
Each Vampire Lord has a Trust, which is a publicly tracked non-negative integer that defaults to the lowest Trust value held by any active Vampire Lord.
Set all active Vampire Lords’ Trust to 0.
Add the following rule, called “Dracula’s Demands”, above “Crypt Denizens” in the Dynastic rules:
A Demand is an objective whose completion furthers the plans of the dark forces beneath Zahndorf Cathedral. A Demand consists of a name (which is flavour text) and a Condition describing an event, circumstance, or course of action that must come to pass for the Demand to be fulfilled. Demands that are assigned to Vampire Lords are publicly tracked alongside the names of the Vampire Lords and/or idle Vampire Lords they are assigned to.
As a Weekly Communal Action, any Vampire Lord may perform the following atomic action:
* Randomly group all active Vampire lords into sets of 2; if there is an odd number of active Vampire Lords, include one set of 3.
* Randomly assign one of the Demands listed in the Ruleset (excluding those which are currently assigned) to each set of Vampire Lords determined in the previous step of this action, such that no two sets receive the same Demand.
* For each newly-assigned Demand, add its name to the publicly tracked list of assigned Demands alongside the names of the Vampire Lords it is assigned to.If an assigned Demand has had its Condition fulfilled in the last 24 hours and was not assigned during that period, any Vampire Lord that it is assigned to may erase that Demand’s name from the list of assigned Demands to increase by 3 the Trust of all Vampire lords and/or idle Vampire Lords it is assigned to. After this occurs, that particular Demand is no longer considered to be assigned until it is assigned again.
The list of Demands that can be assigned is as follows, with each Demand’s Condition following its name:
* Bloodthirst. Richardo von Nestor is Grievously Injured twice in the same Enter the Crypt action.
* Sacrifice. Four Crypt Denizens have been slain since this Demand was last assigned.
* Hidden Ritual. An single explored room connected to E4 with an orthogonally-connected path of explored rooms is never Richardo von Nestor’s location during three consecutive Enter the Crypt actions.
a rework of the demands framework using a hardcoded list of valid demands this time; the ones here are just some initial examples, as there aren’t enough to assign, so we’ll need further proposals to define more valid demands :0
Josh: he/they
Explicit abstain on this one
