Does anyone know about historical prices? At modern prices, 'only' Wealthy people wouldn't stay at top-notch hotels for months, but the relative value of luxury lodging seems to have been lower in the past (other things are so much cheaper for us comparatively). A furnished apartment may be a more reasonable choice. Whichever better suits Status 2 CoL for a character without non-portable assets.

Does anyone have suggestions for things to buy? Preferably available in some electronic form, as shipping takes a month or more.

Would you say that any of these were especially suitable as the result of humans, animals or mundane objects typically found in the East End of London being twisted into horrific shapes or forms by an abundance of life energy, but not life as we know it? With a side order of undeath and a garnish of Evulz?

I was worried that they were too specific to source material that I wasn't using*, but little tweaks like that make them just right. Apart from the classic shaggy ones, what other monsters would you associate with a horrific take on the Great God Pan? Or could result from a surge of life that comes from a place where no life should be? Do you have ideas for similar twists for more of these monsters? Or using the stats of something from Monster Hunters: Enemies, with a new origin and skin? *And I've already got quite a bit in the blender, so thematic consistency will have to receive some nods.

Heck use Velociraptors and "skin" them as Dire Chickens or similar.

Re: Monster Hunters by Gaslight - Whitechapel, London, Hell?
Hmmm... while that much of a size increase seems egrerious, just demonic chickens has possibilities. If they're faster, fiercer and stronger than they've any right to be, as well as being small, agile and hard to hit, they could be a significant and oddly horrific threat. Who wants to have his tendons pecked out while he's trying to defend himself from a flying gargoyle or a Spring-Heeled Jack?
