> When a vampire of capacity below 4 goes to torpor, put a hostage counter on him. Hostages cannot be moved to the ready region or be diablerized. During your master phase, you may lock this card to move X blood from the blood bank to a ready vampire you control where X is the number of hostages in torpor. Any ready vampire may burn 2 blood to burn any vampire's hostage counter during any unlock phase. Burn all hostage counters if this card leaves play.

It's the same as "During any unlock phase, any ready vampire..."

So does that mean, two different of your vampires cannot burn two different hostage counters? That seems to be counter intuitive of what the card should do.
Of course it can't do the same vampire, but different ones? (What was the question in our last gane).

There's a subtlety here.
If a vampire pays blood to remove a hostage counter, this gives the opportunity to all the vampires (including the vampires of other Methuselahs) to do the same (for other hostage counters). However, you must do so before moving to the next effect.
