# Attacked by Vampire Bats! Suddenly you hear a scream. You look up to see a beautiful girl running down the street toward you. Bats dive around her beautiful dark hair. One has attached itself to her temple, and dark red blood runs down the.side of her face. As she runs past you, terror on her face, you try desperately to catch her and force the clinging bat from her head, but the evil creature swipes at you with the tiny claws on its wing joints, wounding you across the face. Then, instantly, its attention is back on the girl ... and her blood. "Oh, please! Help me!" you hear her moan as she drops to her knees in the fog-shrouded road. Afraid that using your sword to fight the bat might endanger the girl, you quickly pull out Chosen, your powerful Rod of Lordly Might. You hold the rod aloft and murmur the words that should bring paralysis. **Will your spell work?** Roll two dice. If the total is 10, 11, or 12, turn to 31. If it is any other number, turn to 17. Whatever the outcome, only your decisions, and the luck of the dice roll, can help you defeat the **Master of Ravenloft**.
