The Night of the Salamander

Sarah Escorsa

Locked room mystery thingie + wanton fire maidens + Ritter readjusting his chances from imaginary to extremely unlikely then to “keep on dream, You of the Tact of a Water Buffalo” + mournful Russians playing the balalaika *waves at the Overlord*+ deliciously lethal magic + wonderfully loutish overtures + Slightly Not Very Pleasant Stuff (SNVPS™) + Lady Angélique FTW = we have a winner and stuff.
