Baker recounts that for Night of the Vampire, he wrote a scene where the PCs captured some assassins and threatened them. Where Baker suggested the PCs say "Tell us who hired you, or we’ll put your head on a pole!", TSR West instead produced final copy where "one of the PCs demands, 'Tell us who hired you!' and another PC shouts, 'GET A POLE!'"Audio Tropes. All of the Audio CD adventures walked the line between providing interesting audio clips to enhance the adventure and being overly intrusive by telling the players what they were saying. Though "Hail the Heroes" had not provided audio clips for what the PCs were saying, "Night of the Vampire" reverts to that style; Baker says, "I just couldn’t see a way to cover 'random heroes talk to Lord Gustav' without having someone feed Lord Gustav conversational cues." Nonetheless, he didn't love the results, saying, "I felt bad about essentially putting lines in the players' mouths. I also wasn’t happy about the voice casting, or the fact that the PCs addressed each other by their class names — for example, 'Get a boat in the water, Thief!'" (The latter was a technique that had also appeared in some of the earlier Audio CD adventures, usually to the derision of fans.)</blockquote>
