§ Interactions
10 Kaz was the first to voice what many were thinking. He accused Sophia outright of serving Strahd. The camp went still. Sophia's smile vanished, replaced by sharp indignation as she denied the accusation without hesitation. Her response was firm, almost offended, and after a tense exchange the party slowly eased — not trusting her, but no longer on the brink of hostility.
10 The players arrive at the bridge over the Ivlis River where they meet a Revenant standing in the middle of the bridge. It asks the players what business they have here and if they serve Strahd. The players ofc answer that they don't and they plan on defeating Strahd. The Revenant advises them to travel to Argynvostholt to the west, where Sir Godfrey Gwilym awaits those who would raise their swords against the darkness that lurks in the castle's depths. #SpeakToSirGodfreyGwilym.
09 As they arrive at the crossroads they see a cloaked silhouette standing beside the gallows. She waves them towards her without turning around. As the clock strikes midnight, over a hundred spirits rise from the graveyard and start marching towards Castle Ravenloft. Madam Eva tells the players that these spirits are from adventurers killed on their quest to beat Strahd and every midnight the spirits march. As the spirits disappear in the darkness Madam Eva turns around and tells them, if they choose this path, this might be their fate.
09 The players hear a sound coming from a bush. Avery grabs Eliza by the collar and rips her out of the bush. She admits to trying to spy on them for Strahd. She tells them that few Vistani agree with her beliefs or loyalty to Strahd. A fact that drives her to curse the "ungrateful" and "faithless" among them. Although she doesn't believe Barovia is the ancestral home of the Vistani, Eliza believes it to be a new home that Strahd found for them. They tie her up to a tree and gag her, continuing on their way.
07 Strahd bids them farewell and leaves. When the players prepare to continue their trek towards Tser Pool, and where there was nothing on the gallows, now hangs a lifeless body. To most of the players it looks like a random man, but to Kaz it looks like himself. As soon as Caspian touches the body, it melts into nothingness. They continue now towards Tser Pool. #FindMadamEva
07 #battle Kaz and Strahd start a duel. Strahd promises to hold back 5 turns, which he does and it seems nothing can actually hurt him, after the 5 turns are over he pummels on Kaz until he accidentally almost hurts Caspian, they call off the fight.
07 In front of them is a large black carriage drawn by two black horses, in the coach box the players see a man which Ireena identifies as Escher gasping that he should be dead. Escher steps down and opens the door of the carriage and out comes a man, Strahd von Zarovich. He looks around and greets all of the players and some conversation begins, he asks the players quite a few hypothetical questions. At the end of his questioning he gets challenged by Kaz and they decide to fight.
04 The players have entered the land of Barovia, a realm surrounded by deadly fog and ruled by Strahd von Zarovich, a powerful vampire who slumbered in Castle Ravenloft until recently.
