as being "one exit south of here on the New Jersey Turnpike." The route is separated by three trials until the traveller must vanquish the gods of death. Skullburger is also located here and is frequented by familiar characters Ernesto's clone and One Death. Crab City Crab City is a City made by Crabs, for Crabs and from Crabs. The Crabs are very proud of this. Characters Main characters Jon Technically the level-headed one, Jon is possessed of a wry sense of humor and seemingly limitless patience.

Has been decapitated and dismembered a number of times (and, on one occasion, actually buried). Longtime poker buddies with
