* CameBackWrong: Emperor Antrobus II.

to:

* CameBackWrong: Johannes is forced to reanimate Emperor Antrobus II.II to hide his death. His public address quickly lapses into a rant about brain-eating, and Johannes makes a discreet exit just as the Antrobus-zombie loses every pretense of reason and tries to chow down on the nearest person.


Added DiffLines:

* InterrogatingTheDead: Johannes temporarily reanimates a murder victim to question for information about the murderer. It's doubly gruesome for Leonie to watch, since it only provides a brief imitation of life that slowly leaks out of the body, taking the panicked and increasingly incoherent soul with it.

* ATankardOfMooseUrine: Subverted. Johannes expects the dark, slightly viscous beer he is served in Mirkarvia to be another way for the locals to show off their TestosteronePoisoning, but while it is [[GargleBlaster brewed strong]] (20 proof, which is roughly 10% abv, or double the strength of most beers and on par with many light wines), smells worryingly like coagulated dragon blood and only comes in massive steins, the actual flavor is very pleasant.

** This is averted when Cabal is approached by Leonie-he doesn't know who she is, as he's looking out a window as they talk, he thinks he might be in the middle of getting "picked up."

* TheRevolutionWillNotBeCivilized: Cabal leaves Mirkarvia in a state of civil war. Both figuratively, and literally.
