Hi everyone,

Notes on the contents of this pack:
This Highlight contains the chapter 6-Nocturne
Chapter 7-Note for Note in the next Highlight !
1-Note that in this chapter, some places in the city of Lausanne appear in the “Dream” version. This is indicated by a small purple " skull " pictogram.
2-The taxidermist shop is packed with stuffed animals at its RDC. Of particular note is a bear. Note that in its “Dream” version, this bear appears lying down with part of its entrails exposed. This is where Edgar hid his scroll. If players notice this detail, they may well find the scroll themselves.
3-Au Chat Noir, (Le Chat Noir, in the book) is an authentic Lausanne brasserie. And I was able to redo the map from a photo. It has a daytime version, where you can have a drink, and a night-time version where you can dine.
4-The Belvedere by the lake is a place where your investigators will probably go for a stroll with the Duke by day, while waiting for their evening appointment. Note that I've bent the scenario. Normally, Jigsaw Prince courthouse would be located in the city center. But what could be more interesting than to take over the very representative location they visited a few hours earlier?
5-The Duke's house is empty, or nearly so. If your investigators pass through the strange magic door in 1F, they find themselves in the same part of the house, but in its “Dream” version.
6-The streets of Lausanne in their "Dream" version feature trials and tribulations that are also a metaphor for the high points of the campaign. You'll find the chasm that blows a powerful wind, a field of garlic, the cauldron, the chess set... I'll make the fresh meat dummy is not there, I'll make it in token, which would tend to chase investigators.
7-The Orient Express, in its “Dream” version, has only one exit, the one into a wasteland.
Note the barred windows and a cabin that should be Fenalik's.
The wasteland leads to another magic door. If you use it, you'll return to the taxidermist shop in the “Dream” version.
Please note that most of these maps can also be used in many other scenarios created by you, or in other official scenarios with a little adaptation.
