Omobono posted:I don't know if expanded material expanded on this, but from his chat with the masks I can see a previous adventure, roughly with the same scope as Koudelka, where the masks are the main villains and he defeats them but without managing to fully exorcise them so the four assholes set up shop in his soul in revenge. It certainly sounds like part of his whole job class technique is letting demon spirits inside himself to use their power, so if those 4 masks are the remnants of his first 4 kills, then I could see that being significant enough to do something special in this sort of world. I imagine if Yuri were on the magic priest side or just some punchy normal dude like Edward was, then it wouldn't be an issue. Crowetron posted:Clothes maketh the man.

Earlier in either this thread or maybe towards the end of the Koudelka one, someone mentioned Yuri and Caim getting along. This chapter end scene is pretty much what I thought of when thinking about that. "Killed the evil magic man and stopped the summoning, but then some other person just pops in and picks it right back up and now there's an angelic god-demon thing? No hesitation, sass the villain, and fling yourself at that sucker to try and make it into an upgrade!" I think they'd have fun swapping stories.

I remember being surprised at the changes to vampire rules over the years when I got around to reading Dracula sometime after college. In there it's garlic flowers, specifically, rather than the root bulbs you always see (except the time they chop off one's head and stuff its mouth with garlic). Crosses probably would have worked and burned on contact, but they used sacramental wafers more often than crosses. Sunlight was just a power drain. Dracula runs around in mid day at one point and he's fine, he just can't use any powers. Turning into mist and being able to go through unsealed cracks in doors and windows was also new to me.

I'm sure we're off to pick them up first, since there's no reason not to, but part of me is amused at the idea that the group might forget Keith and Zhuzhen in the hurry to investigate about the Cardinal's place, so the two sit around the hotel lobby waiting for the rest to bring money to pay for rooms.

I'm betting Bacon cursed this dude's mom in the first place and probably slipped a few books on black magic on a coffee table when the guy was getting really desperate to figure out why his mom is dying. What's the current in-game date, by the way? Since at the very least the Emigre document was Bacon, is this something he's had on boil before Yuri and pals or is it more of a fun way to pass the time over the six month time skip? Edit: Nevermind, just checked the intro, which is 1913, so this started at least 3 years before we came into it.

For a moment, I thought maybe Jack was the last bit needed to get the pot going, but then he started talking, so he didn't die, so that can't be it. I guess naked bug person is just how the Emigre ressurrection's recipe works out. If he had the eye patch as a doctor, I hope he wasn't doing surgeries. Depth perception feels like an important ability you'd want in a surgeon. It might fit if he got it from a particularly feisty orphan or the angry parent of some not-actually-an-orphan-as-it-turns-out and then had to learn hypnosis/hire a kidnapping aid to avoid that again.

Incidentally, that pausing between sentences thing is also in the JP version of Halley's flashback story. It doesn't make it better, but at least it explains why the English version does it.

Now I just kinda want to know when everyone involved in that died and how that all played out to reach that point. Was the doll always haunted, that sort of thing. It doesn't really matter, but now I wonder. Also, I like how you half think Margarete is shooting a fireball cause of the rocket propelled part of the rocket launcher. Episode LXVIII The Dark Id posted:In any event, the storeroom has a ladder connect to a wine cellar. Episode LXIX The Dark Id posted:seems rather obsessed with having at least three buffs activate at all times. Should be "active", "these are", "front", "doozy", "we just got" (or "I just got"), and the last one comes off kind of awkward using the same "was a ghost the whole time" wording essentially twice in a row. Maybe the second one could be "Or they were the bad ghost the whole time and hired us ...etc."
