Big Tina spreads Miriam's curse to dinosaurs and wildlife across hundreds of kilometers while assembling corpse minions.
Miriam's vampirism passes to Big Tina, who then infects other dinosaurs and forest creatures. Reports two hundred kilometers away describe drillbeaks transforming almost overnight, doubling in strength and speed, while Gideon encounters a vampire owl-genie hybrid.
The curse appears to transmit through severe injury rather than mere contact. New vampires are initially weak but grow quickly, cast spells, recruit protectors, and remain intelligent. Ultraviolet-enhanced fire kills them efficiently, but the current map-wide storm suppresses ordinary daylight control.
Vampire animals scattering through storm-dark forests while reanimated remains crawl toward sorting piles.
The infestation turns a local elite storyline into a floor-wide escalating threat.
