The Hounds of Winter

-
Yeah. Its winter, Again.

I think that dark fantasy must often be written in winter,  The author, an indoor occupation, must often get the extra dark of a good winter season.

I certainly feel it.

Long nights, and darkness. Very depressing. Inspiring,

They are headed there for two missions; an SIS agent has gone missing and their partner has sent a distress note to Vienna, and there are indications from Erlichmann's notebook that there are hidden Atlantean artifacts wanted by someone in the Nazi hierarchy located in Rome.  This episode was covered in "tradecraft" - the party moving through enemy country and trying to not be noticed.
