The scene in which they were originally discovered I had playing in my mind. Then, when Torhan split off to interview Sasha, I had the best opportunity to explain what was happening without breaking the suspense or making folks feel like they had a last second opportunity to take it back. I LOVED writing that post. Honestly, I don't think the scene would have even played out quite so well in face-to-face play. The odd, psychotic nature of the masked thugs was one way to increase horror. I mentioned that the game was "CSI meets Silent Hill." One of the things about Silent Hill that just ups the "wrong" factor is that the monsters seem troubled. They really should stop and fix their own problem. But no, they're more interested in attacking you, regardless. So, you had bird-peck guy. A thug armed with a scalpel. People with locked masks.  ...and, Marionette.  I've had the story of Pigglemorth and Adalavas rolling about in my head ever since Ravenloft was first published. It finally had to come out. As for what really happened, you'll find out quite a bit rather quickly, I'm sure.</blockquote>
