Vidovi’s Journey #16: Cthulhu Hunt in the Halifax Fog at Strange Adventures

Chapter 16: The Fog of Halifax & The Eldritch Mystery

Destination: Strange Adventures, Nova Scotia

Vidovi takes another exciting detour north, arriving in the historic port city of Halifax, Nova Scotia. The air here is salty, cool, and mysterious.

His destination is Strange Adventures, a world-renowned comic book store famous for its quirky vibe and incredible selection. Vidovi is looking for something that matches the deep, dark ocean aesthetic: the “Deep Sea Eldritch” Blind Box (featuring a Cthulhu-style monster). But finding it won’t be easy in this weather.

Story Recap: The Lighthouse Beam

• The Atmosphere: Vidovi enters the store’s “Mystery Section.” But alas! The famous Halifax Fog has rolled in—even inside the display case! The theatrical fog is so thick and dark that visibility is zero.
• The Spook: Vidovi tries to feel around for the box, but he touches something slimy (probably just a prop, but still scary!). The darkness is overwhelming, and the eldritch vibes are too strong.
• The Maritime Solution: Vidovi embraces the local maritime culture. He puts on a bright yellow Sou’wester rain hat and pulls out a miniature replica of the famous Peggy’s Cove Lighthouse.
• The Discovery: Click! He turns on the lighthouse lamp. A strong, focused beam cuts through the thick fog, illuminating the shelf. There it is! The Deep Sea Eldritch box is revealed in the spotlight. Vidovi grabs it, bids a warm farewell to the friendly Canadians, and sets his sights south. Next stop: The Big Apple!
