In this episode, we dive into the chilling mysteries of Barovia, following a group of adventurers led into the cursed land by ominous letters and sinister forces. Discover the horrors lurking beneath the Durst Manor, the haunting tale of Rose and Thorn, and the dark legacy of Count Strahd von Zarovich. Join us as we unravel the secrets of Barovia, where every shadow hides a threat, and each step brings our heroes closer to an inevitable confrontation with darkness itself. Introduction to Barovia: A brief overview of the mysterious land and the adventurers' journey that led them into its grasp. The Call for Help: The adventurers receive an invitation to Barovia, summoned by a letter from the Burgomaster pleading for aid. First Encounters in Barovia: Meeting the Vistani and hearing the legend of a cursed prince who became a tyrant. Durst Manor: Entering the haunted estate and meeting the ghostly children, Rose and Thorn, who warn of a monster lurking below. Exploring the Manor: Investigating hidden rooms, discovering ghostly presences, and finding a taunting letter from Strahd von Zarovich himself. Descending into Darkness: Journeying into the tunnels beneath Durst Manor, facing supernatural creatures, and uncovering crypts. Possession and Release: The spirits of Rose and Thorn possess two of the adventurers, revealing the tragic fate of the Durst family. The Influence of Strahd: The ominous chanting and pervasive darkness remind the adventurers that Strahd's power touches every corner of Barovia. Conclusion: Reflecting on the session's events and speculating about what horrors await the adventurers in Barovia. The podcast explores the adventurers' initial journey from Daggerford to the cursed land of Barovia, where they are summoned by a cryptic letter pleading for help. This summons leads them into the shadowed streets and ultimately to Durst Manor, where ghostly children reveal that a "monster" lurks in the basement. As the adventurers probe the manor's secrets, they confront specters, haunted relics, and traces of the Durst family's dark past. Below the manor, they navigate claustrophobic tunnels, encounter supernatural horrors, and realize the ever-present influence of Strahd von Zarovich. The episode highlights the chilling atmosphere of Barovia, where no one is ever truly safe. The letters from the Burgomaster serve as compelling plot devices, weaving a tale of despair and helplessness under Strahd's rule. The haunting interactions with Rose and Thorn emphasize Barovia's tragic undertones, where innocence is twisted by corruption. Strahd's mocking letter found within the manor encapsulates his contempt for both the people of Barovia and the adventurers who dare to challenge him. The Durst Manor becomes a symbolic introduction to the themes of isolation, betrayal, and the unrelenting grip of darkness that the adventurers must face. Barovia: A cursed land ruled by the vampire Count Strahd von Zarovich, where dark magic prevents inhabitants from leaving. Strahd von Zarovich: The vampire lord of Barovia, a tragic and tyrannical figure whose power shapes the land. Durst Manor: The estate belonging to the Durst family, haunted by the ghosts of Rose and Thorn and hiding dark secrets in its depths. Vistani: Nomadic people who serve as guides within Barovia. They share a complicated allegiance with Strahd. Rose and Thorn: The ghostly children of the Durst family, who are trapped within the manor by their tragic deaths. Burgomaster: The local leader of Barovia, who initially calls the adventurers for help but is later revealed to be a pawn in Strahd's game. Possession: When a spirit overtakes the body of a living person, as Rose and Thorn do with two adventurers, revealing their own unresolved fears and emotions. Crystal Orb: An object held by Strahd's statue in the shrine room. Its dark aura and connection to Strahd lead to a deadly encounter with spectral shadows. --- Support this podcast: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/chrisabraham/support

I, Wulf, Son of Wulf, Son of the Wilderness have finally convinced Moat House Gold to leave with me to retrieve riches I have hidden among the ruins of an ancient moat house, but not before the three entangled themselves in Boriva’s meager problems. After Moat House Gold left my tavern they were led by Father Donivan to what was left of the town’s Church of Luthandar. Moat House Gold expected to find the corpse of Father Donivan’s son Duro but instead they heard the child’s voice calling up for the church’s cellar for his nightly meal. Erasmus pressed Father Donivan about the matter until he confessed that his son had become vampiric and the only way to save his damned soul was to kill the boy then resurrect him in hopes he would return to his former self.  The cellar door was thrown open. Father Donivan called down for Duro to show himself but when Duro did not come a scuffle between the priest and Edward broke out forcing Father Donivan to cry out for Duro’s help. The demon child came flying out from the dark drawing blood from Edward’s cheek. Stebe’s used soothing words to claim the undead boy and Erasmus said a prayer to relieve Duro of his sight. As Duro laid in a serene state Erasmus used the opportunity to plunge a stake into Duro’s heart. The child thrashed on the ground screaming for the dark lord’s help. Edward threw Father Donivan aside, raised his foot, and stomped the stake deeper into Duro’s chest. The church fell silent.  The two priest wasted no time summing Luthandar to revive Duro. A great light came and went but the boy remained lifeless. There was nothing to do as the town’s people pounded at the church door. Stebe plied magic makeup to look like Duro while Edward kicked the child’s corpse back into the cellar. When the church door was opened the town’s people believed they had just witnessed a miracle. They raised Erasmus and Stebe still in disguise into the air as the clouds parted and a single ray of light shone onto the mob inspiring them to storm the castle. In this moment of calm I told Moat House Gold of all the dangers that awaited them in Castle Ravenloft. Our adventurers were more interested in the promise of gold and safety rather than certain death by Count Strahd’s hands that awaited them. Now we are off to collect my hidden treasure.

Our heroes find themselves deeper in the Amber Temple flanked by six huge piles of treasure. Kasimir is called by a dark presence...a presence that may help him revive his deceased sister Patrina.

Our heroes venture deeper into the Amber Temple. They learn of a golem made entirely of amber that wanders the dark and desolate halls.

The best laid plans often go awry, but as Moat House Gold squabbles among themselves in the Wulf’s Lair tavern, no clear path is evident. Our debate was soon interrupted by a powerful warrior, Apollonia, whom Stebe quickly took a shining too. Apollonia demanded that we join her for the carriage ride to confront Count Strahd directly, but the ranger Wulf seemed to have other ideas. He had been hauled back to Barovia many times by the same insidious fog that had brought us to this cursed land. Wulf explained that he had learned how to escape Barovia and now wished for us to join him on a lucrative heist of a moat house as reimbursement for our safe passage out of Barovia, though doing so would not still the ever-encroaching fog of Barovia from following us. For that we would have to curry favor with the leader of the Vistani. However, before much headway could be made Father Donovan, the towns priest of Lathander, came crashing into the tavern in search of Erasmus. Upon seeing Erasmus’ palm emblazoned with the symbol of Lathander, Father Donovan begged for Erasmus to raise his son from the dead. What happened next was quite touching. The two priests pressed their palms together reproducing the symbol of Lathander onto Father Donovan’s hand. There was no discussion after that for the two priests were out the door before another word could be uttered. Stebe and Apollonia, hand in hand, chased after the holymen. I Edward, the Black Lich Knight, will let Tempus through my fate to the winds. As I trail behind the rest, Father Dovonan lead the way to his son’s corpse. Unfortunately for the priest he will receive his deepest desire, but it will only be a twisted likeness of its former self. He will do his child no favor by ripping his soul back from the grave.

Our heroes make their way up Tsolenka Pass toward The Amber Temple, hoping to plunder whatever dark secrets may lie within.

The crew leaves Argynvostholt and return to a Vistani camp outside the village of Vallaki and meet a dusk elf named Kasimir. The elf enlists the party's help: he wants to traverse to the top of Mount Ghakis to a place called the Amber Temple where he believes he can find ancient secrets that will help him bring his sister back to life and rid the land of Barovia of Strahd von Zarovich.
