The strange creature returns and says, "Your item will be gift-wrapped and sent to you."'' Gain card's token. You decide to leave before the vampires take any further interest in you. Y Failure: ''You lose the bid. The vampires take a break before the next item and you decide to leave before they take an interest in you.'' Leave. You leave, discreetly.
