Interview With You/Vlad/Castle/Lab
Igor limps up the stairs to the laboratory, and you glide after him, silent as the night but deadly as the nightshade. He opens the door and you see two tables side-by-side. One has a sedated wolf lying on it, bound with thick iron bands, a helmet with electrodes trailing off of it attached to his head. The other table is empty -- for now.
”So what’s this experiment about, then?” you ask your Igor.
”It ith nothing lethth than an attempt to create the most powerful creature in the WORLD!” the Igor shouts. Then he slumps over into a hunch again. “Thorry, forgot my thtation for a moment. The goal is to fuse thith wolf with your vampire thelf, Marthter. For what could be more powerful, more terrifying, than a vampire/wolf hybrid?”
”Well, just for starters, there’s the shark/elephant hybrid -- that’s pretty scary, right there. And hey, what about a squid/crocodile hybrid? It’d be all suckers and teeth . . .” you catch a chilly glance from Igor. “But, y’know, wolf/vampire, pretty terrifying.”
You climb up on the table and Igor clamps a helmet onto your head. “Now, Marthter, I will pull thith lever and the wolf’th life forthe will flow into your body! WAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA! Thorry, thome partth of me uthed to be a mad thcientitht.”

If you have not retrieved the hamethyst medallion.
Igor fiddles with some equipment -- you know, throwing open the switches on the sonic oscillator, that kind of thing -- then pulls a huge knife switch on the wall. There’s a deep thrumming noise within the walls, then a whine that builds to head-splitting pitch and volume before there’s a huge white flash of light.
”Igor, except for a headache, I don’t feel any different,” you say.
”In fact, Marthter, you don’t look any different,” Igor says, frowning (well, parts of his face frowning, anyway). “If I may be tho bold, could it be that you’re not quite the vampire you thought you were? Have you even put a mortal in your thrall yet? Maybe you should check back in at Vlad’th.”
If you have retrieved the hamethyst medallion.
Igor fiddles with some equipment -- you know, throwing open the switches on the sonic oscillator, that kind of thing -- then stops short. “Wait!” he says. “You need to be properly grounded before I pull the thwitch. Do you happen to have a large piethe of preciouth thtone on your perthon?”
”How about this thing?” you ask, pulling out the hamethyst medallion.
”Ah, that’ll do nithely,” Igor says, then pulls a huge knife switch on the wall. There’s a deep thrumming noise within the walls, then a whine that builds to head-splitting pitch and volume before there’s a huge white flash of light.
”Igor, I don’t feel any different,” you growl. Igor looks at you and smiles as wide as he can (which, given how many extra teeth he has, is pretty wide).
”Rest assured, Marthter,” he says, “you’re a perfect thpethimen! A triumph! I’m making a note here: huge thucctheth.”
Unconvinced, you pad through the castle, listening to your claws click on the floor, until you’re outside and can howl at the moon.
