17	On his way back, Caspian ran into Sophia. The two spoke quietly about the day’s events, especially their encounter with Volenta and the loss of control they had both experienced. Sophia asked if he was truly alright, but Caspian deflected, saying it was a story for another time. In turn, Sophia shared fragments of her own past, hinting at something dangerous tied to her.
13	Avery moved to end it, raising his weapon to take Volenta’s head. Sophia protested, but before the blow could land, Volenta wrenched free and leapt to a neighboring rooftop. Avery jumped after her but ended up hanging from the edge. Seizing the moment, Caspian used Kaz’s help to vault forward, climbing over Avery and continuing the chase. But Volenta proved too quick. With unnatural speed and strange abilities, she fled beyond Vallaki’s walls and vanished into the night.
13	Caspian barely reacted to that exchange. Instead, he whispered to Volenta, voice tight with restrained fury, “I watched my family be slaughtered by monsters like you. Yet I lived. Why did he spare me?” Volenta only laughed again. “Maybe he’s not done playing with you just yet.” Caspian’s grip tightened in response.
13	Sophia crossed over and found Caspian sitting alone, fists clenched, staring at the spot where Volenta had disappeared. He noticed her immediately and, as if by instinct, slipped his usual easy smile back into place. He leaned back casually, masking whatever storm still churned beneath the surface. Sophia tried to lighten the mood with a joke, and Caspian played along, falling into familiar banter and flirtation. They shared a brief hug. She jokingly stole his silver pendant before returning it, and together they headed back toward Kaz.
13	Sophia was the first to slow Volenta, casting a spell that tangled around the vampire’s legs and pinned her in place. Caspian caught up moments later, seizing her arms and forcing them back between her shoulder blades while pressing a dagger to her throat. Rage simmered beneath his composure. He leaned in close, testing her reaction with a deliberate bite before murmuring into her ear, voice low and edged with dark amusement, “You ran. He doesn’t like that.”
13	By then the others had arrived. Sophia immediately stepped forward, fury overtaking her restraint. “Where is Rahadin? He owes me a life. He owes me Eliana.” Her voice shook with anger. Volenta only laughed. Under pressure, she revealed that Eliana was in Castle Ravenloft, adding with cruel satisfaction, “Her blood was delicious.” Sophia trembled at the words, panic and dread creeping in.
13	Meanwhile, Avery had already returned and was questioning Henrik. The coffin maker admitted that Strahd had manipulated him into allowing Volenta inside. He spoke of a strange green pentagram that had appeared upstairs and confessed that the vampires had been staying there for months. When the rest of the party arrived—Caspian still perched comfortably on Kaz’s back—Henrik explained that Volenta had ordered him to steal the bones so the church’s protection could be destroyed.
13	The chase across Vallaki's rooftops was frantic and dangerous. Caspian led the pursuit, close behind Volenta, with Sophia only a few steps behind him. Kaz and Avery, less agile on the tiles, struggled to keep pace but followed as best they could.
12	#battle As the fight raged on, Caspian’s fury grew when he realized that one of their foes was Volenta Popofsky, one of Strahd's favored minions. The party managed to defeat the vampire spawns, except Volenta, who fled through a window. Without hesitation, Caspian leapt after her, following the scent of her blood into the streets below.
