Rename the Denizen called “Dracula” to “Alucard”
Remove the following text from Ritual Chambers
When the Crypt Settles, if Richardo was Lightly or Grievously Wounded in a Ritual Chamber, or if Richardo collapsed a Dracula’s Sepulchre without Dusting Dracula, then a random Ordinary room gains a Denizen with the name of Dracula, with the following statistics: Brutality 3, Cunning 5, the Bloodsoaked and Evasive traits, and a Sycophancy of None.
When the Crypt Settles, if Richardo encountered and defeated the Denizen Dracula, then a random Ordinary room gains the following effect, which may only be added to a room under this circumstance and may not otherwise be added to any room:
Richardo encounters Dracula’s Sepulchre
A room with the effect “Richardo encounters Dracula’s Sepulchre” should be treated as a Sepulchre for the purposes of collapsing a Sepulchre in the rule Sepulchres. If Richardo moves to a room with the “Richardo encounters Dracula’s Sepulchre” effect while holding a Silver-Tipped Stake then Dracula is Dusted.
Add a new rule called “Dracula”
Dracula is an entity in the game that has a location, which is a room on the map, and a number of wounds, which is a non-negative integer and by default is 0. Both his location and his wounds are publicly tracked. If Dracula ever has 12 or more Wounds, Dracula is Dust.
If Dracula’s Location is ever not a valid Lit Ordinary room or is Purified, any Vampire Lord or Richardo von Nestor may set his location to a random Lit Ordinary room which is not Purified.
When the Crypt Settles, Richardo von Nestor sets Dracula’ Location to a random Lit Ordinary room which is not Purified
When Richardo Von Nestor Encounters Dracula, if he is holding a Silver-Tipped Stake, he uses that item and Dracula earns 6 wounds. Otherwise, if he is holding a Elaborate Crossbow, he uses that item and Dracula gains 3 wounds. Otherwise, if he is holding a Rusty Crossbow he uses that item and Dracula earns 3 wounds. Otherwise, Dracula earns 1 Wound. Then, if Dracula now has fewer than 12 wounds, Richardo Von Nestor is grievously injured.
add the following step above the “Encounter any other Denizens in his current location, in a secretly random order” step in Richardo’s Journey
If Richardo’s Current Room matches Dracula’s Location, Richardo Encounters Dracula
Sets Dracula’s Location to a random Lit Ordinary room which is not Purified
I don’t see why this needs to be a second, complex like-a-Denizen-but-mostly-not entity, rather than just fixing up what we’ve got and having a Denizen with a special track-wounds-elsewhere Trait.
Clucky: he/him
(reasoning for this is that I feel without it, we could get into several rounds of richardo failing to dust dracula, killing him, failing again, and feeling like the dynasty just drags. this helps ensure we eventually kill off dracula)
