Look for still another weapon

From Create Your Own Story

You decide to continue looking for weapons. You don't feel ready to handle whatever's out there yet.

You inspect the room you're in, but you don't find anything else that's useful. You make the rounds of the rest of the rooms and look at them carefully. The last room you check is nearly empty. Rotted crates sit along all but one of the walls. The last wall has a rack of some sort. You look at this carefully. There's nothing in it, but a glint below catches your eye. There's a rusted spearhead on the floor. You take it.

This was the last room in the foyer. You're ready to leave now. You glance out the window. The sun has set, but there's still a warm glow across the land. You'll have to make your way down the mountain by lamplight.

You relight your lamp and step out into the foyer. It looks foreboding in the dim light. You make your way through the debris to the door. You push it open.

"Goink somevhere?" asks a voice behind you. You turn around to face a middle aged man in evening dress. He smiles at you with sharp sharp teeth. Lamp in one hand, spearhead in the other, you fumble for the stake in your belt.

Too quickly to counter, he slams you against the wall. You drop the spearhead and the lamp, which gutters out, leaving you in the semi-darkness with the vampire. He holds you against the wall by your wrists. You struggle against him, but he's too strong. He changes his grip, and holds both your wrists in one of his hands. With the other, he grabs your improvised stake and tosses it aside. "You von't be needing zis."

With the last light of day fading, he bites into your neck. It's not a particularly pleasant way to die.
