Café de Nuit

I recently noticed a neat reference in this game. Benn's friend Matteo runs a shop called the Marble Faun, right? I just started reading Peter Straub's Ghost Story. And this is the epigraph:

"The chasm was merely one of the orifices of that pit of blackness that lies beneath us, everywhere." -Nathaniel Hawthorne, The Marble Faun.

I think that's a pretty apt description of Pont-a-Museau.

Ah, I was wondering if anyone would catch that. Have a skull [I don't give out cookies]:

*Snaps fingers* . Damn and we only like cookies!

Ha, thanks! Ghost Story is pretty good so far, too.


Does Lothar's blood appear to have been drained? Obviously he's probably bled out from the neck wound, but is there a lot of blood around the body? In other words, did someone or something make off with the blood?

There is rather less blood on the scene than you might expect.

Sorry I haven't posted in a few days, I was out of town. I'll update later tonight.

Jon, as I see him:

I like!

Raf, for some reason that looks familiar. Is that the kid from Chrono Trigger?

No, but if you're into anime, you might well know it:

It's Isidro, the little companion to Guts from the manga "Berserk".


"Berserk", btw, is one of the best sword & sorcery animes/mangas out there;
as dark and gritty as fantasy can get, without being ridiculous.

Ah! I haven't read the manga yet, but I really enjoyed the anime.

Hehe, in any case, you should get +1 on all atributes for mentioning Chrono Trigger.

Ah, what a great game that was!

Yeah, I can that as Jon.

I can feel the love between Dorgio and Strahd!

they are cousins!
