15	Among the books was a record of the dead and missing. As they skimmed through it, they found an entry about Izek’s sister—marked as dead under unknown circumstances. Her name was Ireena.
15	The realization struck quickly. The Ireena they had been escorting all this time… was the very same sister Izek had lost. Suddenly, his obsession made sense—the dolls, the fixation, all of it.
14	Inside, they were greeted by a cheerful man with a monkey perched on his shoulders. He introduced himself as Gadof Blinsky, the shop’s owner. The shelves were packed with toys—though many looked more unsettling than suitable for children. Caspian took the lead, asking if Gadof Blinsky had something appropriate for a ten-year-old girl. The toymaker guided them to a shelf of dolls. Among them stood a striking replica of Strahd and another red-haired doll that bore an uncanny resemblance to Ireena. When questioned, Gadof Blinsky explained that Izek commissions a custom doll each month—and this month’s was the redhead. Unsettled, the party chose a doll that seemed relatively normal and made their purchase.
14	Outside, they spotted Izek in the street, flanked by guards as he hung posters announcing the upcoming festival. After he left, Caspian tore one down—only to discover another identical festival poster layered beneath it, this one from the previous week.
11	The mansion’s windows were sealed behind heavy drapes, casting the interior in dim light. A maid escorted the group to a meeting room, where they waited until the Baron entered with his mastiffs and his right-hand man. He greeted Ireena warmly and dismissed the rest of the party as her hired guards.
11	With little time to dwell on it, the trio set out for their appointment at the Baron’s mansion. Outside, they witnessed a disturbing scene: the Baron, flanked by two mastiffs and a man with a grotesquely altered arm (in the future to be known as Izek Strazni), was publicly reprimanding a woman(Willemina Rikalova) for splashing mud onto his clothing. Ireena joined the party moments later, and the guards admitted them inside.
