[QUOTE="Chaosmancer, post: 7931198, member: 6801228"] Could you actually read the post I made instead of declaring your righteousness? Butlers, maids, scullery workers? Those all make up the other 175 skilled and unskilled workers. I'm literally just talking about the guards and the non-essential figures, like mutated experiments from the local mad wizard. 175 staff is over half the people in the building. So, over half of them can likely just be normal civilians. Still leaves 125 guards. In fact, I watched a little Black Butler. How many of the staff in the castle were literal demons? 1. And that makes sense. The head butler is a demon, great. The others are not. But the 100's of guards patrolling the grounds probably aren't street toughs in fancy duds. They probably are something more dangerous, like vampire spawn, since the Vampire Lord would probably much prefer perfectly loyal soldiers. The head chef? Might be tougher than a mortal, but doesn't have to be. He could be the one to open the pen and let out the master's hunting dogs, who aren't in that section of 300 staff, because they are dogs. And a vampire lord isn't going to have greyhounds or poodles as their hunting dogs. They will have Hell Hounds, or Shadow Mastiffs. Something nasty. So, no need for every single maid to be a dragon.
