I am grateful to leave the castle where torture is practiced so freely.

AmbrosioTornelli comes to me with doubts. He thinks things may be beyond god. I council with the story of Genesis, showing that God has created all and it is the devil that has created corruption. He seems dissatisfied as he leaves. I fear for his soul.

We head through Transylvania into Wallachia.

A couple of days later, we come across a Gypsy selling games and fortunes. AmbrosioTornelli asks for his fortune.

He also sells us several potions (invisibility to evil and poison antidote). I can see they have power, but not their exact nature.

FillippoTarantino rides back and asks his fortune. He comes back silent and thoughtful.

We eventually (a week or so later) come to a city. Many light skinned, blond people.

It is StellaMaria's birthday. We all go shopping for different things. I have made a painting of her favorite cat.

GiucamoTarantino is recognized on the street by a fellow duelist. They want a rematch. Gustav follows him back to us, pressing for a duel. FilippoTarantino shoos him away.

VincenteTornelli, FilippoTarantino and a couple of Crowes go to the brothen. Gustav is the bouncer. VincenteTornelli talks his way past.

We talk with the ranger we found. He tells us we must visit GlaviochikMonastery on the night of the next new moon. There a carriage from ProsperoTepes will be sent for us.

We arrive at the Monastery. We have about 8 days. We spend time praying and resting our minds.

We pay a Perpetuity for the monastery to watch over the evil sword we found.

The carriage can carry 6 people. However, we are magically able to clown car in everyone (13 people and gear).

We all find strange invitations to a Masquerade. We arrive somewhere and our clothes have changed. We are greatly disturbed.

We arrive at Prospero Hall. It is a rich marble building.

The butler directs us to the Blue Room.

A man approaches us. He insults us (calls our costumes common).

Long, boring dinner party. Quite creepy, really. Oh, and everyone thinks we are speaking Romanian but they seem to be speaking Italian. They think it's January (our sister's birthday is in July). It is snowing outside. Why do they say the year is 1895?
