Richardo has felt the shifting of the ground beneath his feet and knows that this trip into the crypt is likely to be different from those he has experienced before.

All Vampire Lords are strengthened by his approach, and the sepulchres of Brendan, Chiiika and Jumble gather power on behalf of their masters.

Richardo enters the Crypt through its entrance hall and heads to the east.

The books of the Library of Souls are getting hungrier; as Richardo passes through to the east they continue to feed the Vampire Lords with their dark magic.

Richardo finds himself once again in the Forgotten Corridor, but this time a dark magic has taken root here, that immediately pushes him backwards, back into…

...the Library of Souls, where again the enchanted books whisper darkness between themselves and the dark hunters that surround them. Richardo returns west.

In the Crypt Entrance, Richardo turns north.

In Room BA, Richardo notes that the spot where he had, in the past, reliably found a treasure chest now sits empty. The guardian creatures of this room continue to convert dust and grime into blood magic and feed it to the Vampires of the crypt. Richardo heads west.

In the next room Richardo finds that a toxic mixture of gas and water has combusted into a hellscape of unimaginable horror. Collapsing to his knees to pray, he slips on a pool of filmy water and submerges his head into the flaming sluice, causing himself a Grievous Injury. He dashes from the room, and from the Crypt, in abject agony, but unnoticed by him, a Glyph belonging to the Vampire Lord Jumble has absorbed his torment and is feeding it to its ravenous caster.
