At Midnight, the Chimes Bring with them an Unnerving Figure.
When the clock sounds at midnight, the entire crowd once again stops to listen, but this time they notice something is not right. A mysterious figure appeared in the dark dressed in an uncanny manner. His clothing consisted of a blood-spattered robe resembling a funeral shroud, and an extremely realistic mask resembling the stiff corpse of a Red Death victim, the very plague that the guests are desperate to defeat. When Prince Prospero noticed this intruder, he became infuriated, and demanded to know the identity of the figure.
