Round 21:
You carefully analyze the riddle and ponder its meaning. After some thought, you come to a realization. The glowing crystal must be a limited source of light, capable of warding off the vampire's attacks. However, using it recklessly may cause it to ignite and potentially harm you.
With this newfound understanding, you decide to approach the pedestal and take the glowing crystal, but you also make a mental note to use it sparingly and wisely.
As you hold the crystal in your hand, you feel a surge of energy and protection coursing through you. It seems to be your best chance at surviving the encounter with the vampire.
What will you do?
1. Proceed to confront the vampire, armed with the glowing crystal.
2. Continue exploring the castle, using the crystal as needed.
3. Call out for help, hoping someone will come to your aid.
Choose your next move wisely, for the vampire's hunger is relentless.
