Tales from the Old World #10: The Halloween Special

On Geheimnisnacht, when both moons are full and the dead are said to walk among the living, sensible folk of the Empire lock their doors and pray for dawn.

At The Last Candle, a lonely coaching inn near the borders of Sylvania, three very different women have found themselves sharing an increasingly uncomfortable evening.

Franziska Ursach, a stern Sigmarite witch hunter, is investigating a series of disappearances. Karmilla Dammenblatz, an Amethyst Magister Vigilant, follows the trail of a renegade wizard. And Brita Lutzen, the inn's sharp-tongued proprietor, would appreciate it if both would stop frightening her customers.

But when midnight comes, someone knocks at the door.
Someone who has been dead for eleven years.

With the roads swallowed by unnatural fog and something stirring beneath the floorboards, the inn's unlikely occupants must survive the Night of Mystery together.

Keep the candles burning. Keep the doors locked. And whatever you hear outside, do not invite it in.

Setting info:

This scenario is set in the Warhammer Fantasy world, in the Empire, particularly in a coaching inn in Stirland.

If you are unfamiliar with the Warhammer Fantasy universe, and/or want a little more info on it, you can read more about it here and here, or watch some lore videos on Youtube.

On Geheimnisnacht, the Night of Mystery, both moons, Mannslieb and the Chaos moon Morrslieb, are full, the Winds of Magic grow dangerously strong, and the boundary between the living and the dead weakens. Across the Empire, superstitious citizens lock their doors, offer prayers to Morr, Sigmar and other gods, and dread the restless dead, beastmen, cultists of the Ruinous Powers and other unnatural horrors said to roam the night.

User's role and intro message:

You are a guest in The Last Candle coaching inn during Geheimnisnacht, alongside a witch hunter and a wizard that uses the magic Lore of Death. Both suspect the place may be haunted.
On midnight, someone that should be long dead knocks on the door.
Will you survive the Night of Mystery?

Only one intro this time.

Hi!

I know this bot is one day late, I had very little time to work on it but I really wanted to use this idea. Geheimnisnacht is so good for a Halloween-themed bot.
I left the main mystery vague and a bit contradictory for your own LLMs to handle.

Don't expect more bots in the coming days. I had an elaborate plan to handle multiple projects at university in a healthy pace, but it all failed spectacularly and I have to do it all in one week.

Also, as always, I really hope the names I myself came up with here do not overlap with anything - the names of characters come from this glorious thing, and inspiration behind Brita's husband's name comes from a classic Polish poetic drama, Adam Mickiewicz's Dziady ('Forefathers' Eve'). Say what you will, Romanticism suits Halloween the best.

Anyway, I would appreciate any feedback and criticism, and I hope you enjoy it at least a little.
