Water does sound good considering our hosts seem to be anxious to bribe our stay.
Is this one of those vampire type stories or something original?

Okay I will see how it goes. Let us drink the water then since that seems safest.
UPDATE 3
Glad to have new faces here on board, I'm sure we'll all have a good time:
QUOTE (300) |
D’Onoffrio twists open a bottle of sparkling mineral water and pours it into a glass for you. The Count relaxes with his brandy for a moment, then starts up a conversation. He asks you about yourself, your family, and your job. He, in turn, tells you about himself and his family. Go to 100. |
QUOTE (100) |
Pravemi, Count of Orvieto, comes from a highly distinguished family that has maintained the estate and its surrounding land for generations. For many years, the family’s income was based on agricultural means. Gradually, modernization spread throughout the country, to the point that the farming industry gradually trickled away. When the Count’s daughter unexpectedly passed away a few years ago, Pravemi was left as the last surviving member of his family. He has chosen to remain at his residence with a few servants, refusing to sell his land. At that moment, D’Onoffrio reappears and whispers something in Pravemi’s ear. The Count begs your pardon and excuses himself, stating that he will return shortly. Go to 134. |
QUOTE (134) |
You recline back on the divan and survey your surroundings. For all his wealth, Pravemi appears to have shunned modern technology and conveniences. There does not seem to be any sort of electrical appliance anywhere. The room you are in at the moment is brightly lit by a large chandelier. The entire setting has an 18th century feel to it. You yawn and stretch out lazily. It's been a long trip and you feel drowsy. Will you remain seated and wait for the Count to return (275)? Or do you want to look around? If so, there is a glass table nearby with a pair of picture frames on it. You can examine this (15). Alternately, you can muse through some books lying on a desk directly behind you (333). |
