Special Rules For This Battle:

- Place the Young Vampire figure adjacent to the coffin
on the Lonely Crypt dungeon tile and puts its villain
card in play.
- The Young Vampire operates at the start of each
villain phase.
- If the Young Vampire moves onto a tile with a Coffin,
the Active Hero draws a monster card, places a
monster on that tile’s bone pile, and passes the
monster card to the player on his or her left.
- The Young Vampire summons monsters to help: If he
moves onto a tile with a Black Triangle, the Active
Hero rolls the die. For 1-15, do nothing extra. For 16-
20, the Active Hero draws a monster card and places
the monster anywhere in the dungeon.
- The Heroes win if they defeat the Young Vampire and
avenge its Barovian victims.
- The Heroes lose if any player starts his or her turn
with zero HP and there are no healing surges left.
