Dead of Night solution
by Steven Taylor
One of my favorite books, this one. Here is a complete solution for it and, as always, I have written it so that even the poorest of initial roles can still get you through to the end (you should be able to complete this with skill of 8-9, stamina 14-18).
Talents:
Banish Undead
Holy Circle
Speak Demon
Evil:
Don't worry to much about evil points, this solution guides you through to the end without gaining any!
