Ghost: Your purpose is to go to the town to pickup souls. You get provided points if you bring a soul back to a crypt. In case a crypt has a trap, you will lose the soul and not get any points.
Ghosthunter: You need to go trap some ghosts. To do this, you will need to go to town and buy a trap (this will cost you some points). Then you need to go to a crypt to set the trap. If a ghost accesses a trapped crypt (with a trap that you have set) you will get points.
Graverobber: Your purpose is to go get some loot. You should visit crypts where you can steal the trap (if there is any). Then you can go to the town and sell it. In case you visit a crypt that do not have a trap, you will lose points.
