Café de Nuit

Greetings, well, a few years ago I was introduced to whachamacallit a chinese box. It only opens if you move the right pieces in the right order. It's hard to describe it if you haven't seen one before, but essentially, there are a few moving pieces on the box (normally seven, but can be up to 21) J...

The Truth? It is not very hard to imagine on which occasions the Codex was about to awake - the Great Conjunction and the Requiem being just the prime examples. What powers the Codex - or its copies - have, I will not speculate upon. They are intelligent artifacts, with their own will and their own...

The Mists are whispering...

They whisper about the eight times the Book was very nearly awake.

They whisper that the ninth time - this time - it will truly awake.

The mists are whispering.

The Custodes soon realized that the very existence of the book, and even the existence of the copies, was a danger in itself. Their hideouts were regularily destroyed, and members of the Order killed in particularly goresome fashion. Finally, the two copies were stolen from the custody of the Order ...

The Mists are whispering...

They whisper of Knowledge, and of Wisdom, and of Magic Power beyond imagination.

They whisper of Might, and of Revenge, and of Freedom.

And, as they always have done, they whisper of Blood, and of Torture, and of Death Unending.

Note: I’m very sorry that I let this thread wander towards its lonely grave. I just forgot about it, having other problems in real life and finding other interesting threads in the forum... So one day, not long ago, I found my original ms again. Since then, I changed some things, wrote it hopefully...

I'm not so sure that Isolde doesn’t “mind the twisting”; I think she just accepts it. Isolde is basically still a good creature, an angel, if you wish; so she would not do harm to other creatures (except to infernals or some such). But she just has to live with the reality of Ravenloft.

I’m sorry to interrupt your highly fascinating discussion about morale, ladies and gentlemen, dear comrades in darkness, but aren’t you getting a bit off topic? I thought the question was “can an angel transpotion into the lands of mist”? Well, let’s take a look at it. Obviously, angels can at least...

The Mistress & Other Vampire Cat Myths There are rumors among sages (and some say, even among vampire cats themselves), that there exists a vampire cat queen, called the Mistress, or sometimes Nith, mightier still than the most powerful mage matriarch. Given the chaotic nature of these monsters...

Vampire Cat Mage As noted above, vampire cat mages look like silver-grey siamese cats with blue eyes, but without the distinctive markings. Unlike most other vampire cats (or cats in general), they have an innate ability to cast spells – and do not seem to be limited as to which spells (except for ...

Ecology As undead creatures, vampire cats have no place within the natural order of living beings; they are things of the darkness that only exist to spread evil and chaos. All vampire cats are female. It is not known how they proliferate, since they are also undead. Some sages believe that they ca...

I'm not sure about that whole package business... In one of my first adventures, playing in Middle Earth, the DM started with just that; we got a package and had to transport it from Rohan via the Redhorn Pass to Bree (to all who do not know LotR, this is a long and dangerous voyage). Almost from da...

Other Salient Abilities Control Cats: The cat may control any small cat within 90’, 1×/night, for 9 turns. It may only control as much HD as it has itself. Improved: The cat may control one great cat, 1×/night, regardless of HD, for 9 rounds. Create Illusion: The vampire cat can use, 1×/ night, an ...

Salient Abilities Note: It is strongly recommended that the DM chooses appropriate Salient abilities instead of rolling dice. See also the guidelines for Salient Abilities in Van Richten’s Guide to Vampires . 3d6 Salient Ability 3 Innate Magic † 4 Passwall † 5 Invisibility: The cat may become invis...
