Tengo ciertos problemas al traducir "wassail". Se encuentra en el párrafo siguiente (extracto del juego V20 - Rites of The Blood, pág 106):
To enact this ritual, the caster must prepare at least two other vampires (of the Nosferatu, Tzimisce, or Gangrel Clans) for at least a full turn of the moon, feeding them a very small amount of cursed and defiled blood, and starving them to within an inch of wassail. These individuals are tortured nightly, and various humiliations and physical horrors inflicted upon them, to break their sanity and weaken their body.
