- THE COUNT Part One
-
- In this adventure, your goal is to find and kill the evil vampire, Count
- Dracula. This is probably the most boring of the Adams adventures because
- you have to do a lot of waiting for some things to happen, and exactly when
- they happen seems to be a random thing.
-
- You start off in bed in Dracula's house. Get the sheets, then get up.
- Go North into the hallway, then West into the kitchen. Enter the dumb waiter
- and raise it, then go room. You are now in the pantry. Get the matches and
- the garlic, then return to the dumb waiter.
-
- At this point, you can do some exploring to waste time, because you're
- waiting for the bell to ring (do a little mapping!). This will tell you that
- the postman has delivered some mail to the house. Once you hear the bell, go
- to the front door. You will find a postcard with a note clipped to it. Get
- the paper clip and drop the note.
-
- Now, return to the kitchen, get into the dumb waiter, and lower it to
- the Work Room. Go into the room. Pick the lock on the closet door (with the
- paper clip, of course), open the door, and enter the closet. Drop the stake
- you're carrying, then get the vial and leave.
-
- Back in the Work Room, close and re-lock the door, and drop the paper
- clip. Now it's time to get a light source, so go Down to the dungeon. Tie
- the sheets to the iron ring, then descend into the pit. Get the torch (it's
- there even though you can't see it), and climb out again. You don't have to
- bother with the sheets again for now.
-
- Now go back up to the kitchen. Empty the vial (3 no-doz tablets come
- out) then drop it. Now you have to wait until sunset, but you must be
- careful here. Stop saying "wait" as soon as it starts to get dark outside,
- and take a tablet. Then continue to wait until nightfall, at which time,
- light your torch.
-
- Wait a little longer, then enter the oven. It's a solar oven, so you
- can never get in here during the day. Get the nailfile that's inside, and
- leave the oven. At this point, you have done all you can, so you might as
- well go back to bed. Remember to unlight the torch before going to sleep.
- This night you will be bitten, and there is nothing you can do about it.
-
-
- THE COUNT Part Two
-
- The next morning, you will notice that the sheets are on the bed again. Get
- them, then get up. Tie the sheet to the bed, then get the sheet (loose end),
- open the window, go out the window, and drop the end of the sheet over the
- ledge.
-
- Now climb down the sheet, go to the Window Box, then go through the
- window into the room. Get the portrait of Dracula, then drop it. This will
- reveal a secret passage. If you want to explore it, go ahead (light torch
- first). Just make sure you unlight the torch before trying to climb back up
- the sheets!
-
- Well, here you have to do some more waiting, as now you have plenty of
- time to kill until the mailman brings a certain package. So, just mess
- around again until the bell rings. At that point, go to the front door
- again.
-
- Open the package. Inside are a bottle of blood and a pack of
- cigarettes. Get the cigarettes (make sure you say "pack"!). Now go back to
- the kitchen and get the tablets. After that, go back down the sheets to the
- room with the secret passage. You should do this before night falls.
-
-
- THE COUNT Part Three
-
- Now wait for sunset the same way you did the night before. Once the sun
- sets, light your torch and go into the passage. Follow it along to the
- crypt. Get a cigarette (you may have to drop something first), then smoke
- it. Dracula's (empty) coffin will appear (this is the only way to make the
- coffin appear).
-
- Open the coffin and go inside. Use the file to break the bolt on the
- coffin, then get out again. Drop the cigarette, pick up anything else you
- may have dropped, and leave the passage. Now, take a second cigarette from
- night, it really isn't necessary, since you can take three bites before
- succumbing. So, you might just as well put out the torch and go to sleep.
-
- Once again, you wake up in the bed, with the sheets. Get them, and tie
- them to the bed as you did the day before. Instead of climbing down however,
- first go to the dumb waiter and from there to the Work Room. Use the clip to
- pick the the lock on the closet door so you can get the stake. Also make
- sure you grab the mallet on your way out.
-
- Now that you have the stake and the hammer, go up to the kitchen again,
- and from there to the bedroom and down the sheets to the secret passage.
- Light the torch, enter the passage, and go to the crypt. Smoke the
- cigarette, and the coffin will appear again.
-
- Open the coffin, go inside (yes, you must!), and apply the coup-de-
- grace to the vampire. TA-DA! You're a hero! (Hey, you're pretty good at this
- stuff. How are you with voodoo...)
