Here's the Highlight-27 Pack for Horror on the orient Express.

Notes on the contents of this pack:
This Highlight contains the first part of Chapter 15-Repossession
End of this chapter in the next highlight
1- The introduction to this scenario simply takes place on the train. This Highlight therefore deals with what happens when the train arrives at Sofia's main railway station.
2- The Police interrogation takes place in Sofia's main railway station, and is an opportunity to test your investigators, but also to learn more about the Butchers and introduce them to Major Vasil Christova, a highly suspicious but honest man who will later become an ally or even a substitute character.
3- Dr. Jordanov lives in a house in Sofia, and won't provide you with lodgings (for the sake of the scenario), but will lend you his car. And he'll be the link that leads you to Sofiiski Universitet afterwards, to find Sedefkar's head.
4- The Streets of Sofia, to support the fact that people barricade themselves in their homes after dark. And that the city is dangerous. They could simply be mugged. Watch out for the manhole if you follow the book's examples word for word.
5- The hotel is unnamed, and could just as well be The Hotel de la Bulgarie or the Fireside Inn. This can be used for the attack on the hands, or for the attack of Fenalik at the very end of the scenario. During the attack on the hands, the investigators, exhausted from their day, will probably be sleeping, so don't rule out an investigator enjoying a good bath (he may feel dirty and need to relax, so submit the idea if necessary). This should make for a memorable horror scene.
Also, to reinforce this, the Room Map is in 3 variations: Day, Night with lights ON, Night with lights OFF.
6- Dr Jordanov's documents lead you on the trail of a certain Dr Mateev at Sofiiski Universitet. He's no longer alive, but you can meet his successor, Prof. Chedenko, who will give you access to the storeroom where Sedefkar's head is kept...
but this will be dealt with in the next Highlight !
👇 The pack can be downloaded as an attachment at the bottom of the post!
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.
