In Barovia, every escape leads to another trial. Salvation, when it comes, is never free.The night after the gallows of Vallaki, the survivors of the party—Radley, Daermon, and Urihorn—refused to abandon the body of their fallen cleric, Traxidor. His corpse hung publicly as a warning, a final cruelty from Lady Fiona Wachter. When the adventurers slipped through alleys to steal it back, they walked straight into her trap. The air split with screams and sulfur as a Barbed Devil burst from the mist, followed by smaller winged Spined Devils, summoned by the Burgomistress's infernal pact.Radley heaved Traxidor's wrapped body over his shoulder, Daermon darted through backstreets, and Urihorn charged atop his panther, loosing arrows that hissed through the fog. Hellfire arced after them, burning cobblestones and shattering shutters. They considered turning to fight—Barovian pride dies slowly—but Radley's strength faltered under the weight of the corpse. The devil closed in.Then, through the smoke, came a tapping cane. A tall figure in a wide-brimmed hat stepped into the street. Rudolf van Richten, monster hunter and scientist of the supernatural, faced the infernal beast without hesitation. He raised his cane, whispered a prayer, and unleashed a shimmering wave of light—Dispel Evil and Good. The devil recoiled mid-charge, roaring, then vanished into nothing. Van Richten, unfazed, sheathed his blade and remarked dryly, “I wasn't sure that would work.”With Van Richten's aid, the adventurers fled Vallaki in his disguised carnival wagon, Rictavio's Carnival of Wonders. Urihorn's panther growled at the sound of another large cat caged inside—one of Van Richten's experiments, no doubt. Guards tried to halt them at the southern gate, but the old hunter cracked his reins. The beam splintered, gates flew open, and the vardo smashed through, losing a wheel. Under crossbow fire, Daermon and Radley lifted the axle while Van Richten calmly cast Mending, fusing the broken iron. The wagon lurched forward, clattering into the night toward Krezk.At dawn, the Abbey of Saint Markovia loomed above the frozen cliffs. The party ascended, body in tow, through drifting snow. The Abbot, a serene and unsettling celestial, welcomed them with open arms—then smiled when Daermon presented the tattered wedding dress for his golem-bride Vasilka. When asked to resurrect Traxidor, he first raged at their audacity, warning that life and death have purpose. Then, abruptly, he agreed. “For your service,” he said, “and for the redemption of Strahd, I shall restore your companion.”By morning, Traxidor lived again. His breath trembled, his eyes dimmed by whatever he had seen beyond. The Abbot clothed him in a monk's robe, an amulet of the Morninglord hanging over his chest.But miracles invite jealousy. When Burgomaster Dmitri Kreskov saw Traxidor alive, he fell to his knees, screaming why the Abbot had not returned his own dead son. His wife Anna silenced him, providing armor and weapons for Traxidor so they could leave before Kresk tore itself apart.The group then followed the Svalich Road east toward Argynvostholt, an ancient manor marked by a towering silver dragon statue. The structure breathed cold air as they entered, shadows shifting like wings. Within, they discovered a chapel of kneeling knights in rusted mail. When Daermon disturbed them with Mage Hand, they rose—revenants, still bound to vengeance long after death.Radley's Shield spell deflected a strike; Traxidor's Turn Undead forced one back; Urihorn fired from a balcony, his panther pacing below. But the fight was hopeless. They retreated, blades clashing, until they reached the cold air outside. There, Urihorn realized what they faced: “Revenants,” he said. “They can't be killed. They rise again, wherever vengeance calls.”From devils to angels to undead knights—Barovia offered them every face of damnation, all wearing its familiar smile.

Each victory in Barovia costs a soul. Sometimes, it's your own.The party's story in these twin sessions begins in ash and ends in resurrection. After the execution of Traxidor, his companions refused to leave his body on display in Vallaki's square. Lady Wachter had expected their sentimentality. When they came for him, she unleashed hell.Literally.A Barbed Devil pursued them through Vallaki's backstreets, flanked by smaller spined fiends that shrieked from above. Radley carried Traxidor's corpse, stumbling under the weight; Daermon darted ahead through fog; Urihorn fired arrows from his panther's saddle. Every street burned with infernal fire. The city was a cage of smoke.Then came salvation in human form. Van Richten—scientist, monster hunter, cynic—appeared from the mist. His walking cane flashed; the devil struck. For a heartbeat, it seemed the hunter would be torn apart. Then came a burst of blue radiance, and the creature vanished into nothing. “There are seldom any guarantees,” Van Richten murmured, brushing ash from his coat.The escape wasn't over. At the southern gate, guards demanded they halt. Van Richten didn't. The horse thundered forward, smashing through the barrier as the vardo lost a wheel. Guards advanced; a warden fired necrotic bolts. Radley and Daermon lifted the wagon by brute force while Van Richten cast Mending, sealing the break. The group fled Vallaki forever.At the Abbey of Saint Markovia, the Abbot received them with holy calm. The crumpled wedding dress—muddy but intact—delighted him. When they asked him to restore Traxidor, he warned of divine balance. But something in him shifted. Perhaps gratitude, perhaps madness. He agreed. “For the redemption of Strahd,” he said. By dawn, the cleric lived again, pale and trembling.When Burgomaster Kreskov saw this miracle, he broke. His grief erupted into rage: “Why not my son? Why not Ilya?” His wife soothed him and armed the party for departure.The road east led to Argynvostholt, the ruined keep of a fallen order. Snow whispered through cracks in the roof. A great dragon statue watched them enter. Shadows coiled like breath. Inside, the heroes found a chapel of kneeling knights. Daermon, ever curious, touched one with Mage Hand. The knights rose, rusted armor creaking, hollow eyes burning.The revenants struck without hesitation. Radley's shield rang, Urihorn's arrows hissed, Traxidor's radiant magic flared. But nothing stopped them. The heroes retreated through the darkened halls, out into the cold daylight beneath the dragon's gaze.Barovia gives no peace. Devils fall, angels sin, and the dead still kneel to forgotten gods. The adventurers lived another day—but for how long, no one could say.

The halls of Argynvostholt echo with whispers of betrayal and power lost to time. As the party uncovers the history of the ruined castle, they learn of Osibis, a power-hungry lich who sought godhood through dark and unspeakable rituals. His rise to power was rivaled by Strav von Zorovi, a general who made her own dark pact, becoming something unnatural—something Osibis could not overcome.Lady Argenvast, the great silver dragon, once led a doomed battle against Strahd, only to be betrayed by Osibis himself. She thought she could bargain and keep her soul, but lost everything—including her head, which now sits as a gruesome trophy in Strahd's castle. Her knights, defeated and scattered, are now trapped in an endless cycle of torment, bound by Osibis' power—a fate that now looms over Ignatius.With the weight of these revelations, Ignatius faces his own twisted fate. Osibis does not just take power—he consumes souls. Those who strike a deal with him become part of his strength, and defeating him means facing what remains of themselves. As the party watches in horror, Ignatius sees the full truth of his own pact: his shadow steps forward, unsheathing a blade, issuing a silent but deadly challenge.Can Ignatius sever himself from the darkness? Or has his fate already been sealed?Listen now and witness the battle for his very soul.

The party explored the ruined castle of Argynvostholt, following the sound of a woman's scream to the upper floors. Along the way, they witnessed a vision of a dragon of ash and soot battling Strahd, with a dark entity Ignatius recognized from his time near death. Even with its Omega tattoo, it was no match for Strahd.At the source of the scream, they found an ancient, enraged woman attacking a wooden bedpost with her longsword. She turned on the party, injuring Quinn before they calmed her spirit and uncovered her identity—Lady Gwilym, once a knight of the castle and the lover of Vlaka Horn Guard, captain of Argenvast Holt's forces under the great dragon Lady Argenvast.With this new knowledge, they climbed another flight of stairs, pushing deeper into the castle's secrets.

in the ruins of Argynvostholt our heroes learn the tragic history of the Order of the Silver Dragon.Featuring:Joseph as the DMMark as the Reborn Warlock "Vogelsuch"Bun as the Elf Bard "Vio"Sam as Orc Druid "Grude"Steph as the Human Artificer "Minerva"Jess (Nemir) as the Tiefling Sorcerer "Romaia"Please note: While the FrogCast often aims for a "PG-13" rating, this module contains elements of horror and mature themes that might be uncomfortable to some.

We've been investigating Argynvostholt, but out of nowhere a group of scarecrows creeped their hay-filled asses over to us. Lank, Nick and Batthwack grew suspicious and decided to investigate, finding a small bundle of raven-like feathers outside and what seemed to be a group of figures carrying off some other type of figure. And squawking. Lots of squawking. Wondering if the wereravens were in trouble, the group decides to help - with Will protesting in a psychic message to Nick, which got cut off because shut up, Will. Will we save the wereravens, if they are in fact in trouble? Will Raphina and Will join the others? And SERIOUSLY WHY ARE WE FOLLOWING A BUNCH OF RANDOM ASS SCARECROWS, GUYS.

Will found his own severed head. Does anything else need to be said? It does? Ok - Batthwack surreptitiously snatched up the punching dagger that looked like it belonged to Will's brother Curtis. All the while, the shortest members of the party reached the highest levels of Argynvostholt in search of WereNick, and as they charged upwards, Nick eventually plunged downward, but he was able to survive the fall so that Raphina was able to cure him of his lycanthropy. But yeah, Will found his own severed head. I told you that was all that needed to be said.

It's time to investigate Argynvostholt! Lank and Raphina are a super team, adorably rushing around while they shout at each other in a valiant attempt to find werewolf Nick. Batthwack is nonchalantly exploring the rooms and dreaming of a sarcophagus. Will is softly walking the halls in trepidation upon hearing that his severed head is somewhere inside. Will we be able to catch Nick before he runs away or hurts someone else? What is the deal with this severed head? Will there be time, even if the title of this episode says there isn't?

We've returned Argynvost's dragony skull to its rightful place, and there's a warm beacon of light shining over the land and into our hearts and souls! Maybe we can finally get some chickens and start up our omelette business! Let's just keep in mind that if Abby wants to give any eggs to Eric, he might malfunction again. There's still a creepy castle to explore, though, including the mysterious severed head of Will Pompion. Ooooooo boy, what's going to happen?

"Go away," says the voice. So you must know where we are, right? Oh, you need more specifics, because EVERYONE wants us to go away? Well, alright. We're in Argynvostholt, and a mysterious voice that belongs to someone sitting in a majestic dragon-themed throne is telling us all to get the hell out. Will we listen? Or will we persist in annoying him with our mere presence? And will whoever this is be able to help us with our werewolf collection/problem?

The castle of Argynvostholt seems pretty busted. Broken dragon statue, shattered busts, creepy spiders... oh, and the severed head of Will Pompion. What a cliffhanger, amiright?

With Werewolf Nick and Werewolf Nat in tow, we've reached the ominously quiet Argynvostholt. We don't have the dragon skull anymore, but we've got each other. Plus a bunch of magical items given to us by the DM that we've all likely forgotten about. Oh, and the blessing of the Morning Lord! There's no way we'll find anything but good things in this creepy mansion-castle thing, right? We came all the way here in a sleep-deprived state in order to find someone to help us cure our werewolf compatriots, and we were sent by a scary fire-eyed ghost creeping up on Lank in the woods, and Barovia is never dreary and disappointing, so this'll definitely work out.

Batthwack had his holy symbol stolen by Lank, but then he got it back. Nick has turned into a werewolf. Will's trying to protect Nat, the werewolf child who bit poor Nick, and is finding it difficult to trust anyone in the group (wait, is that new?). Raphina is trying to cure werewolfism/poisoning herself with wolf's bane. Lank met a strange knightly figure in the woods, who said we might get help by heading to a castle called Argynvostholt. And now we're all either racing to the castle or running away from the dragon that's suddenly appeared, all on about two hours of sleep. We're not healed, we don't have our spells... what could go wrong? Dungeons and DRAGONS, man. With everything else in Barovia, never did we think we'd run into a dragon. Aren't zombies, vampires, werewolves, creepy coffin makers, and beets enough?

Argynvostholt! Argynvostholt? ARGYNVOSTHOLTARGYNVOSTHOLTARGYNVOSTHOLT.
