TOPIC: Horror on the Orient Express - All Rotations

I have a copy of Ludwig on my PC. Just need to get him printed out.

They were hiding behind the 1890 characters

Glad you found the CharSheets, I only had a prototype version.

Wednesday 10th Jan 1923
Prior to departing Paddington aboard the Orient Express, Tamberlaine Crowe parts company with the group to be replaced by George Banks. The very same scoundrel from the 1893 diary entries. Now 30 years older, wiser, sharper and thanks to purloining money from a certain Baron von Hofler, considerably richer. Banks joins our party as Ludwig is still reading from the diary.

Thursday 11th Jan 1923
Arrive Paris. Banks takes us to meet his friend Pierre Boudin-Noir, a Parisian art dealer, who joins our quest for the missing pieces of the Sedefkar Simulacrum, which was dismembered here in Paris prior to the French Revolution. Pierre will arrange our entry to the Bibliothèque Nationale tomorrow; apparently no easy task at short notice unless you know somebody who knows somebody. We take in the city sights and a show at the Moulin Rouge where French wine and talented French girls get the hearts racing of the stuffy and conservative Brits and Germans amongst us.

Friday 12th Jan 1923
Visit Bibliothèque Nationale. Despite our collective wealth and esteemed personages, we're not worthy of being allowed to touch anything. Luckily resident archivist Remi Vangeim is willing assist us. We ask Remi to research the Sedefkar Simulacrum and Le Comte Fenalik. In typical French efficiency it’s going to take a week.

Visit Musée du Louvre. In a gallery of paintings from the Court of Louis XVI we hear an unnatural and unnerving laugh. There is nobody else here. We are drawn to a portrait of man in 18th century dress. It’s untitled but Pierre translates the reference as a portrait of an anonymous man found amongst the possessions of Queen Marie-Antoinette. The portrait has unsettling, deep eyes. Ludwig stares closely and feels like the portrait stares right back with a chilling intensity. Ludwig is forced to avert his gaze from the painting. Is this Fenalik?

Return to Bibliothèque Nationale. Researching Fenalik, Remi has found reference to a scandal at the royal court of Marie Antoinette. There's no date and details are scant but the scandal lead to the immediate execution without trial of Le Comte Fenalik.


French Revolution 1789-1799
