Ongoing Quests

• The Ongoing Quests are #EscortingIreena and #FindMadamEva

Tser Pool

• As the players leave Madam Evas tent they are greeted by a woman name Eliza and a man named Arturi. They invite the players to eat and drink around the campfire, the players join in. As the players are sitting around the fire with Ireena, Stanimir, Eliza and Arturi they all start a game called "the Game of Stories", everyone shares a story and the others have to guess if it's true, false or half-true. Everyone wagers something small.
• Stanimir wagers a worn deck of Tarokka cards that once belonged to his late wife. Eliza wagers a collapsible brass spyglass with a small, maneuverable mirror, allowing the user to peer around corners, Arturi wagers a short manuscript on werewolves authored by Dr. Rudolph van Richten. Ireena wagers a painted wooden hairclip in the shape of a sunflower that she once wore as a child.
• Marianne wagers a little ornate hand mirror. Caspian takes one of his many rings the he wears and wagers that. Kaz wagers a nice Lantern saying "I think some among us might have more use for it", glancing at Marianne. Avery wagers a small wooden holy symbol in the shape of a disk with five different colored dragon heads on it.
• After all the wagers are collected they begin telling stories one by one, with Caspian winning the pot by guessing every story correctly. Arturi is the first to head out from the camp for the night. Stanimir and Eliza head to their tents after some time. The players and The blue-tipped Raven start their heading to meet Madam Eva at the crossroads.
• 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.

The March of the Dead

• 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.
• Madam Eva asks the players if they can get her great-grand-niece Arabelle a birthday gift from Blinsky Toys in Vallaki and deliver the toy to the Vistani encampment to the southwest of Vallaki by noon on Arabelle's nameday in two days' time (she gives the players a pouch with 10gp). #ArabellesBirthdayGift
