[edit] Story

YOU are a hardy adventurer and have journeyed to the icy mountains of Mauristatia in search of great wealth and fortune... but what you find there makes your blood run cold.

You discover by chance the terrible secret of the local villagers. Can YOU free them from the evil tyranny of the bloodthirsty Count, or will you too succumb to a horrifying fate?

In this book the player sent by some villagers to Castle Heydrich, to rescue a girl who was kidnapped by a vampire, the evil Count Reiner Heydrich, and hopefully kill the Count. The player can find various members of the Heydrich family in the castle, like Katrina Heydrich, the evil sister of the Count, who is actually 70 years old, but drinks the blood of virgins to stay young, and Wilhelm Heydrich, an insane cousin of the Count. After killing the count, the player must also destroy Katrina Heydrich as Katrina was actually scheming to kill the Count so she could be the Countess.
[edit] Rules

This book is unusual in that it uses a FAITH score. Unlike the usual three scores, the FAITH score can exceed its Initial value. The player can also get certain "Afflictions" during the adventure.
[edit] Sequel and other references

The book had a sequel, Revenge of the Vampire. This was the only direct sequel to be written by an author other than the series' co-creators. The location of Mauristatia was reused by Jonathan Green in Howl of the Werewolf.
