From d956ab502d8e8fee865a4218b639411f4d7f847e Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Kestrel Gregorich-Trevor Date: Fri, 3 May 2024 08:21:03 -0500 Subject: [PATCH] pull request #1240 - Brides of Dracula In the original Bram Stoker novel, Dracula has three brides, colloquially referred to as the [Brides of Dracula] (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Brides_of_Dracula). I thought it would be a nice touch for NetHack to quietly reflect this by ensuring three of the vampires of his court are vampire ladies. While this technically increases the difficulty of Vlad's Tower, the vampires in Vlad's court are not necessary to fight, and the experience level of a hero at this point in the game is likely to cause them to spawn as vampire lords or ladies in any case. No established names exist for these characters, so I have left them unnamed. [Cherry picked rather than merged into order to reformat the commit's log message.
