Father Nikolai sat under one of the trees in the garden outside the castle. In deep thoughts, with an empty look in his face, he didn't hear Mr. Tacticus approaching. With a sudden suppressed scream, he turned around.
"Oh! You scared me, Mr Tacticus!"
He looked on him with a sad expression in his face.
"What is it?" Tacticus said.
"Oh...well...I was thinking on something..."
"What? Please, tell me." Tacticus replied.
The father moved uneasy.
"It's just that... We are now three persons left, right? And we still haven't taken the last vampire. I assume not both of you are vampires," he added with a bleak smile," as I guess I'd be doomed then...
Nikolai looked deep into Mr. Tacticus' face.
"I mist be honest, it might be you who are the vampire. I can't be sure, and if you are, you've played your cards well. If you are," he said, while Mr. Tacticus moved and tried to speak, but the father raised his arm to stop him.
"I must say that I feel pity for you, a vampire's life can't be anything to write home about I assume. Now the point is, you know, I know and Hercules know, that this evening either the vampire or the normal guys will win, if not the vampire decides to leave."
"I hope so," he mumbled to himself.
"Anyway, I'm a bit surprised we haven't got any more clues, I'd expected that the vampire would at least make some... I guess we'll have to live without them... It is with great discomfort and uncertainity, that I have.....decided to lean on Hercules as the vampire."
Nikolai looked at Mr. Tacticus, hoping to get a clue out of his reaction. It was none to get. Mr. Tacticus nodded. Father Nikolai sighed, and said with a sad look in his face:
"I hope you don't disappoint me, I pray that you are of the good. God bless your soul, son, I think we'll both need it, no matter what the truth really is."

"You pose well, father." Said Tacticus. "I had trusted you. The crucifix that you wear had given me a false assurance, just as it gave all the others. Most of them are dead now." He swallowed, and then continued, "It is hard to understand, how come a respectful priest like you could become a blood sucking vampire. However, I remember reading somewhere, that the crucifix is only powerful when the person who wear it have absolute faith in god." He paused for a second before he added, "The clerical collar of yours is certainly also very helpful of deceiving."
It took Father Nikolai a couple minutes to understand the words of Tacticus. "You are accusing me." His face was distorted by the greatest disbelief. "Yes, he is." Chef Hercules interjected. A lighted candle was in his hands. "Now it is the time for you to pay for all the lifes you've taken."
Father Nikolai suddenly turned and started running crazily toward the castle. He tripped over the threshold of the castle door. Hercules tossed the candle onto him, and the priest's black tunic suddenly bursted into flame. Nikolai got up, and continued running into the castle. Chef Hercules and Mr. Tacticus stood outside of the castle in silence. They could hear Nikolai's screaming went up the stairs, all the way to the tower. Flames shot out from the windows, and spread to everywhere.
It was almost twilight. The sunset kindled the skies. In front of them, yellow flames was gobbling up the giant and old castle, sending long black shaddows dancing on the ground.

Well, if you are in RL, what will you do in this occassion? If you are not a vampire, and the other one is not a vampire, then both of you would know it the next morning. However, if the other one is a vampire, you'll be dead in the night. Now the night is coming, do you trust the other one enough? Or do you want to fight the other one out? If you fight the other one, no matter if he's a vampire or not, you have 50% chance of living. (It will be a straw draw in the game.) So the chance for you to live is 1 vs 0.5 vs 0. What will you choose? If either one of you wants to fight it out, I'll let you fight. (It is always one who starts fight in RL.)
After the end of the game, I'll take guesses about who the vampires are.
