§	Interactions
17	Sophia began with casual conversation—asking if he had any more stories to share—but Rictavio politely declined. As the discussion continued, however, his answers became evasive. He carefully sidestepped their questions, offering half-truths and deflections. The party’s suspicion steadily grew.
17	Sophia immediately moved to Arabelle’s side, kneeling in front of her and gently asking if she was alright. The girl responded with an unsettling calm, assuring them she was unharmed. Then she added something strange:
17	Sophia spoke of Eliana, taken and imprisoned—her fate still unknown.
17	Sophia went to purchase healing potions, while Avery and Kaz returned to the inn, where Avery opened up about his struggles with social interaction—his uncertainty in how to speak and act around others. Kaz listened and offered what guidance he could.
17	As the party approached the wagon, they saw Rictavio already there, kneeling beside it and adjusting one of the wheels. Sensing the tension, Avery and Sophia stepped forward to speak with him, while Caspian and Kaz lingered a short distance behind.
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.
16	Sophia began searching the room for anything useful. She opened a chest that carried a faint scent of lavender, though it turned out to be empty. After searching further, she discovered a silver dagger, wrapped in colorful bracelets that looked as though they might belong to a child. She pocketed the weapon, later handing it to Caspian.
16	However, the party was still recovering from the explosion earlier that day. Kaz and Caspian in particular were badly wounded. To minimize risk, they decided to split up briefly. Sophia and Avery took the platform first, riding it upward to scout ahead while the others recovered.
16	These werewolves were far stronger than any the party had faced before. During the struggle, Sophia was nearly killed before Avery rushed to her side, forcing a healing potion between her lips and helping her back to her feet.
16	Zsolt then asked whether the group carried proper weapons for the dangers of Barovia. In response, Sophia casually revealed her silver weapon.
15	As Caspian and Kaz recovered, Caspian offered one of his own healing potions in apology, earning a firm scolding from Sophia. Meanwhile, she moved to inspect the wagon more carefully, discovering a hidden compartment filled with useful supplies.
15	With that lead, the party left Vallaki and made their way toward the river. There, they found a small hut. Through the window, they saw two figures inside—one cleaning weapons, the other skinning a wolf. The pair gave the party directions to the tower, and after Sophia purchased a silver shortsword from them, the group set off once more.
14	Inside, they witnessed a heated scene. A man named Luvash was shouting in anguish about his missing daughter, Arabelle, while another man, Arrigal, restrained him. Sophia explained they had come on Madam Eva’s behalf with a birthday gift, only to learn that Arabelle had gone missing the previous night while under Alexei’s watch. The only clue left behind was a strange signet ring, now in the possession of Kasimir Velikov. The Vistani suggested that the Baron’s library might hold answers about the ring’s origin—but as Vistani, they could not enter Vallaki themselves.
14	Returning to the Blue Water Inn, the party rested and discussed their next steps over bowls of Danika’s stew. After the meal, Caspian quietly asked Urwin for a bowl of water and headed upstairs. Soon the group split up: Avery went to the blacksmith, Sophia stepped outside, and Kaz followed Caspian to their room.
14	The party then traveled to the nearby Vistani settlement outside Vallaki. The scent of wine and horses lingered in the air as they approached. While Sophia and Kaz entered the large central tent, Caspian busied himself greeting each horse he could find.
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	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 mentioned that Caspian’s “cuddle buddy” had been worried. Caspian teased Kaz about it, then added more quietly that Kaz’s presence alone was enough.
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	Not far away, Sophia sank to her knees on the tiles, whispering through tears, “I’m sorry for bringing you here, Eliana…” Kaz approached awkwardly, doing his best to comfort her despite not quite knowing how. They spoke quietly for a moment before Kaz turned to Avery and asked about Caspian. Avery gestured toward another rooftop, saying he might need a moment.
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	Inside, they found Henrik waiting for them, already aware of why they had come. He told them the bones were upstairs and offered to return them—on the condition that the party deal with the vampires currently residing there. At the mention of vampires, both Sophia and Caspian stiffened before Sophia charged upstairs, Caspian close behind.
12	The party split up to investigate. Kaz and Avery examined the crypt and its surroundings, discovering a strand of short black hair, disturbed dirt, white flower petals, and a large footprint beneath a window—suggesting the thief had escaped that way. Meanwhile, Sophia and Caspian questioned Yeska. The boy insisted he hadn’t told anyone about the bones, but admitted he had seen Milivoj digging near their resting place and overheard part of a suspicious conversation. When the group regrouped, all evidence pointed toward Milivoj.
12	They located the bones in an upstairs room, Kaz stepping protectively in front of Caspian as Sophia opened the closet containing them. A hidden trap dart coated with poison shoots out and hits Sophia in the hand. Out from the closet a noisemaker starts screeching "Is no fun, is no Blinsky!". As the party attempted to escape, vampires emerged from the adjacent room, forcing them into battle.
11	As they ate together, a commotion stirred on the far side of the tavern. A flamboyant bard named Rictavio was entertaining a crowd with dramatic tales of vampires and monsters. Sophia and Avery joined the listeners, while Caspian and Kaz remained at their table. When the performance ended, Rictavio retired for the night, and Avery followed soon after. Sophia lingered at the counter, waiting for Urwin the innkeeper to return from the kitchen.
11	Meanwhile, in a quiet corner, Kaz and Caspian shared several bottles of wine and spoke candidly. They admitted that they both remained wary of Sophia, still unsure of her intentions. Eventually they retired to their room, finishing one final bottle before falling asleep in each other’s arms, something unspoken settling gently between them.
11	Morning came abruptly when Sophia woke Kaz and Caspian with little ceremony, giving them just enough time to dress before breakfast. Avery was nowhere to be seen.
11	Suspicion soon turned toward Rictavio. At Kaz’s urging, Caspian followed the bard through the streets. During the pursuit, Caspian witnessed Rictavio magically alter his appearance, revealing that the persona of the colorful bard was a disguise. Though Caspian tried to keep up, he ultimately lost him in the crowd. He later returned to report what he had seen, arriving just as a tense exchange between Sophia and Kaz was ending.
11	Unbeknownst to them, Sophia held a private conversation with Urwin and Danika, one none of the party overheard.
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	As the others began packing up camp in preparation for the journey to Vallaki — Sophia now traveling with them whether everyone liked it or not — Caspian stretched out on a rug beside Kaz. The argument faded into background noise, replaced by the quiet rhythm of breaking camp and the uneasy sense that their group had just grown more complicated.
10	Despite the tension, Caspian greeted her warmly. The two fell into conversation with surprising ease, their flirtatious banter flowing naturally. Sophia matched his charm without missing a beat, and their laughter contrasted sharply with the rest of the party’s guarded silence.
10	The calm didn’t last long. Soon Sophia and Avery were locked in a heated argument of their own, voices rising over the fire as the rest of the camp pretended not to listen. Meanwhile, Caspian and Kaz sat shoulder to shoulder, passing a bottle of wine between them and watching the confrontation unfold like reluctant spectators.
10	When the party woke, the morning air was cool and quiet, broken only by the crackle of the campfire and the soft clatter of breakfast being prepared. As they gathered around the flames, a stranger stepped into the edge of the clearing. A young woman with a confident stride approached the camp and introduced herself as Sophia Voron.
