   Congratulations on surpassing my guardian your name here . Now, I know why you are here, please sit down and listen. I must tell you this. Before you start your quest, study your foe. You must think like he thinks, understand him and his goals. Follow the readings of darkness, faith, light, knowledge, moon, sun, escape, glory and history. Only they can help you now. CHOOSE and I will scry for you. If you feel ready, nod. Then your true quest will begin.

10. As soon as this step ends, you are now on a time limit: <pray>

    Madame Eva chants in an arcane tongue. The lights in the room flicker and swoon. In a shimmer and a flash, Locrian is gone! Before you leave, Madame eva gives you something.

    Strahd moves over to Tatanya, blood is on his hands.
    
    The young woman is terrified of Strahd, she steps away from him. Tatanya says: Y-you killed him! You monster!!
    
    Strahd says: Tatanya, I did it for us, don't you see? Now we can be together forever!
    
    Tatanya says: Old one! I could never love another! And I could never love you, you murderer!! Tatanya steps toward the railing.
    
    Some of the sand in the hourglass runs out.
    
    Strahd says: Tatanya, be careful, the railing, you might...
    
    Tatanya relinquishes: My beloved Sergei, I will always be yours. Strahd grasps for Tatanya.
    
    The man's hands close upon empty air as Tatanya hurls herself over the wall. Her screams echo throughout the valley as the body falls endlessly into the mists below.
    
    A volley of arrows from the tower guards pepper Strahd. Everyone realizes now that Strahd was Sergei's murderer, but it is too late, he has transformed, he is vampire! Strahd looks around, momentarily dazed by the past few moments.
    
    Strahd's eyes gleam with an unholy redness as he roars in agony! His body racing, he leaps through the windows of the chapel! You suddenly remember, The Relics!! You must get them before Strahd does!!
