We sat down with the Director of Rowing at Radley College and double Olympian who has been leading the programme of a hugely successful schoolboy rowing team for a decade - Sam Townsend. Radley has most recently won the National Schools Regatta after 25 years of gold drought. We discussed the nature of multifaceted challenges that come with running a squad of 150+ athletes and how to prepare them for a life outside of rowing, too.

The Sydney Morning Heralds' Adrian Proszenko joins James Willis to break down the surprising selection of Victor Radley in the NSW Blues side for State of Origin game 1. If Radley had served his full 10 game ban, he would not have been able to press his claims. Plus, despite Laurie Daley saying incumbency is a luxury he can't afford after a series loss, he has stuck solid with the struggling Stephen Crichton. Did Panthers player managers conspire to have their clients come off contract in a broadcast deal year? And Connor Watson's red carpet treatment looks to have secured his signature with the PNG Chiefs (with possibly a one year stop over at the Dragons).

Welcome back to The Chris Abraham Show. This episode collects Sessions 27 28 and 29 of our Dungeons and Dragons campaign The Curse of Strahd and turns them into one continuous descent into Castle Ravenloft.If you are not a D and D person, here is the simple setup. Our small band of adventurers is trapped in Barovia, a mist locked valley ruled by Strahd von Zarovich, an ancient vampire lord with the patience of a spider and the manners of a king. We have been trying to protect Ireena Kolyana from him, recover the Amulet of Ravenkind, and stay alive long enough to do something that matters. Recently we failed to retrieve that amulet in Vallaki, lied to Ireena's brother Ismark to keep him from charging into a suicide mission, and then finally had to admit the truth. Ireena was taken by Strahd.So when the invitation arrives, we accept it. Dinner at Ravenloft. Polite. Civilized. Completely insane.On the road, Barovia reminds us that travel is never just travel. Revenants on a skeletal horse ambush the party and an ogre zombie joins the slaughter. Ismark is dropped in the chaos and only survives because Urihorn rides in on his mountain lion and drags him back from the edge. The undead die laughing with a promise that they will meet us again.Then the castle welcomes us. An unmanned coach. A swaying drawbridge over a gorge. Doors opening by themselves. Rahadin, Strahd's chamberlain, arriving with a choir of invisible screams. A banquet hall glittering with chandeliers and a feast laid out like a joke.Strahd plays the gracious host and then reveals the knife. Ireena enters. So does Yeska, a young altar boy we once tried to keep safe. Both are vampires now. And Ireena is wearing the Amulet of Ravenkind, the holy artifact we lost and desperately needed. The room goes cold in the way only a story can go cold when you realize the villain has been moving pieces you did not even know were on the board.From there, we start exploring Ravenloft and the castle starts teaching us its rules. Vampire spawn watch from the walls. A ruined chapel dares us to touch what should not be touched. Secret passages lead to trapped rooms. A captive accountant named Lief sits chained to a desk keeping Strahd's books like bureaucracy is also immortal. A maid begs to be rescued. A centuries old portrait shows Ireena as if she has always been here.And then the traps get personal. A coffer releases a green gas that drops party members without a fair fight. An animated suit of red armor hunts like a machine and kills Ismark. When we wake later, the castle has rearranged the scene. Bodies are missing. The fire relights itself. Evidence disappears. A bell summons spiders. Burning webs threatens to burn the whole structure down. A tub of blood erupts with a screaming figure and then the blood is gone like it never existed.Finally, a dusty dining room offers one last bait. A wedding cake explodes. And Strahd arrives not as a man in a cape, but as a pressure in the air, an invisible silhouette reaching for us.This is the Ravenloft arc where hospitality becomes horror, where grief becomes motion, and where the castle itself feels like the weapon.Cast and charactersChris as Radley human Eldritch KnightSean D as Urihorn Tenpenny halfling Beastmaster with a mountain lionCary as Perlan Goodshadow halfling MonkTrip as Daermon Cobain elf Arcane TricksterDM Sean SIf you enjoy gothic horror fantasy, actual play storytelling, and campaigns that refuse to let anyone feel comfortable, you are in the right place.

Department of Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem announced Monday that all federal officers in Minneapolis will now wear body cameras. She also said the program would expand nationwide "as funding is available." The push for body cameras is a key Democratic demand to end the partial government shutdown. It also comes on the heels of major concerns over DHS immigration tactics. In January alone, two U.S. citizens were shot and killed by federal immigration agents in Minnesota.

Session Twenty-Six: The Wachter House, a Basement of Skeletons, and the Point Where Vallaki Became Hostile Territory

ChrisCast

Session Twenty-Six picks up at a moment where survival has stopped feeling temporary. By now, the party understands that Barovia doesn't reset between victories. Vallaki, once a place to rest and resupply, has become hostile ground. We're no longer visitors. We're trespassers.The objective is narrow and urgent: recover the Amulet of Ravenkind. Losing a relic capable of harming vampires in Strahd's domain isn't a setback. It's a liability. Lady Fiona Wachter, newly installed as Vallaki's burgomaster, is the most likely person holding it. Her family predates Strahd's rule, and in Barovia, old families tend to survive by making old bargains.We enter her house through the basement. That alone says something about how this campaign has shifted.The cellar looks ordinary until it isn't. Eight skeletons tear themselves out of the dirt floor, remnants of people who likely believed Vallaki was safer than the road. The fight is quick and decisive. What would have been a near-death struggle earlier in the campaign is handled with efficiency. Not confidence. Experience.Radley, the human fighter, has fully settled into his role as an Eldritch Knight. Early in the campaign he relied on armor and luck. Now he holds ground deliberately, mixing blade work with defensive magic. Urihorn, the halfling ranger who no longer casts a shadow, controls distance and terrain, his connection to his animal companion reinforcing a steadiness Barovia hasn't yet taken from him. Daermon, the arcane trickster, turns positioning and timing into damage. Perlan, the monk newly arrived to the valley, already fights like someone who understands that hesitation gets you killed here.After the skeletons fall, we notice something worse than the combat itself: signs of frequent foot traffic worn into the dirt. A wall rotates, revealing a hidden chamber. Five chairs sit around a pentagram. No bodies. No ritual in progress. Just evidence that this house hosts meetings, not accidents.That's Lady Wachter's real danger. Not sudden violence, but organization.Outside the house, the tension shifts from combat to consequence. Ismark, burgomaster of Barovia Village and brother to Ireena, presses us for answers we've been avoiding. Until now, we've lied to him about his sister's fate. Not out of cruelty, but because the truth in Barovia doesn't bring closure. It brings reckless action.The lie collapses anyway.Radley carries that moment harder than most. He's now the only survivor of his original party. Everyone else from those early days is dead. Burned. Taken. Left behind. He isn't still alive because he's exceptional. He's alive because he adapted.At the end of the session, the party reaches Level 7.Mechanically, this is a meaningful step. Fighters gain stronger combat options. Rogues and monks become harder to pin down. Spellcasters unlock deeper resources. Everyone gains resilience and flexibility.Narratively, the level-up marks something quieter: we're no longer reacting. We're preparing.Session Twenty-Six doesn't end with a win. It ends with clarity. Vallaki is compromised. Lady Wachter is entrenched. Strahd is still ahead of us.And whatever comes next won't be handled politely.In Barovia, that's progress.

After a long hiatus from live, human-voiced podcasting, Chris Abraham returns with the unofficial kickoff to a new season of The Chris Abraham Show. Call it Season 10, or just call it “one more than whatever came before.” This episode is less a formal broadcast and more a fireside check-in. No hot takes yet. No grand thesis. Just Uncle Chris catching up, taking inventory, and letting listeners back into the workshop.Chris opens by reflecting on a year spent experimenting with AI-assisted writing and audio. Substacks fed into NotebookLM. Podcasts assembled more like orchestration than performance. He likens himself to a Renaissance painter running a studio: sketch the idea, let the assistants fill in the canvas, then obsessively revise until it feels true enough to sign. It sparked conversations, which felt like a win, even if the whole thing occasionally resembled “DJ Slop.”From there, the episode turns personal. One week post-second ablation, Chris reports that his heart is finally humming along in sinus rhythm after a long struggle with atrial fibrillation. The first procedure failed and took the wind out of his sails, contributing to weight gain, lethargy, and a general retreat from movement. This time feels different. Better sleep. BiPAP nights. The cautious hope of eventually shedding some medications. The slow return to walking, cycling, kettlebells, and the familiar ritual of getting back in the saddle, literally and figuratively.Fitness and body discipline weave through the episode, including a rueful confession: Chris once tattooed a kettlebell on his hand as a motivational Hail Mary… and then promptly stopped lifting. Future tattoo ideas may include a Concept2 logo and the muted horn from The Crying of Lot 49, because symbolism apparently works better than guilt.Work life is steadier. SEO, Google Business Profile recoveries, and AI-adjacent consulting are keeping the lights on. But the real joy lately lives in the nerd margins. Chris dives deep into decentralized systems, inspired by Ghost in the Shell, particularly the sentient blue tanks that sync their “souls” to a server. That idea metastasized into a home-rolled infrastructure project: seven identical Lenovo ThinkPads running Linux Mint, all synchronized via a cloud droplet using Syncthing. Not a backup. A living sync mesh. Every laptop a node. Every document everywhere.That fascination with nodes and meshes extends into the physical world via Meshtastic. Chris recently deployed a LoRa-based radio node, ABRA (short for Abracadabra), hanging from an eighth-floor Arlington window, quietly strengthening a local, license-free mesh network. No voices. No feeds. Just short messages hopping node to node, old-school and strangely comforting. It's part prepper tech, part early-internet nostalgia, part philosophical itch scratched.Elsewhere in the ecosystem: Mastodon survives for now at abraham.su, rescued at the last minute despite the .su clock ticking toward 2030. Micro.blog joins the stack under chrisa.micro.blog and ChrisA.org. Digital homesteading continues.Chris also shares the unexpected joy of joining a long-running Dungeons & Dragons campaign, Curse of Strahd, playing a stubborn Eldritch Knight named Radley, refusing to read the manual, and delighting in chaos alongside a group of grizzled old nerds on Discord. Dice are rolled. Plans go sideways. Everyone survives, mostly.The episode closes with quieter notes: a growing devotion to the Gospels, nightly Episcopal Compline prayers, the simple rhythm of rereading rather than rushing ahead. A Powerball ticket purchased. Gym plans deferred. Kettlebells waiting. A rowing machine sulking upright in the corner.This isn't a manifesto. It's a temperature check. A reintroduction. Uncle Chris is back, heart steadier, systems syncing, curiosity intact, and ready to spend the rest of the year talking through the small things before returning to the big ones.

About Victoria MyersVictoria Myers is the founder of the Small Retailer Network, the UAE's leading membership community for product-based business owners. With a two-decade career in the UK retail industry, she worked her way up from the shop floor to managing 13 stores across Scotland and Northern England for major fashion and accessories brands, including Radley and Karen Millen.Her experience spans customer experience, trading cycles, sales leadership, store operations, and head-office strategy. After relocating to the UAE, Victoria shifted from corporate retail to consultancy, eventually creating a community-driven network that now supports more than 350 small business owners through training, mentorship, and collaboration.Her mission is to bring big-brand structure, strategy, and trading knowledge to small independent brands while creating a space where founders, especially women—can learn, connect, and grow without isolation or competition.About this EpisodeVictoria shares her journey from teenage retail assistant to leading one of the UAE's most influential communities for product entrepreneurs. She talks about the early lessons she learned selling bed linen at 16, why the customer's needs go far beyond the product in their hands, and how working across multiple UK brands taught her that behind every successful retailer lies the same set of systems, planning rhythms, and trading strategies.We explore the pivotal moments that shaped her career—not the promotions she earned, but the ones she didn't. Victoria explains how rejection pushed her to seek new opportunities, how tough feedback became a catalyst for growth, and why success often follows our most painful setbacks. Quotes2:59 - It's very easy to exceed customer expectations and go above and beyond and really delight them when you listen to them and understand what it is that they need. 7:44 - I think it really taught me like success is not necessarily linear, and sometimes the things that you think are the right thing for you is not necessarily the right path. And actually, just because something doesn't work out doesn't mean there's not some other opportunity, there's something else around the corner that will end up being a better opportunity in the long run. 9:25 - I always want people to tell me what they think, so that I can improve myself and continue to progress. 9:38 - Feedback, and sometimes it can feel scary to ask because sometimes people don't say what you want to hear. Honest feedback is always positive in the long term. You just need to make sure that you don't take it too personally and see it as the learning opportunity that it is. 13:25 - I just really wanted everybody to be able to come together and support each other to succeed in a way that at that time they didn't really have that support network around them.15:30 - If you collaborate and work together with others, then not only do you get that support and that confidence to keep going when things are tough, but you also just progress so much more quickly and with so much more confidence. 16:03 - Working together and collaborating just brings success for everybody across the board, and it just makes the journey so much easier. 23:13 - Find some support, find some help, start talking to other people about what advice they can give you. 30:01 - You need to be able to keep going even when things are challenging. You need to be able to dust yourself off and start a game if things don't go according to plan. 30:29 - Community means everything to me. It means support, it means growth, and it means success together.The Matrix Green Pill Podcast: https://thematrixgreenpill.com/Please review us: https://g.page/r/CS8IW35GvlraEAI/review

In Barovia, exhaustion isn't just a condition. It's a worldview.And when Session Twenty-Three began, that's exactly where we were—drained, bruised, and barely held together after ghosts, scarecrows, giant spiders, and one very opinionated abandoned manor.We left Argynvostholt like survivors crawling out of a collapsed mine, heading toward the only place in Barovia that still feels remotely like home: the Wizards of Wine Winery. A place with warmth, family, and maybe even joy, if the mist isn't listening too closely.But Barovia never lets you walk in peace.At dawn, we spotted the glow of a bonfire hidden in the trees. Urihorn scouted ahead and found—of course—a ritual sacrifice in progress. A druid and a pack of wild men preparing to carve open a bound stranger smeared with wolfsbane and nightshade. Classic Barovian hospitality.That stranger was Riven Thal. And he joined our party in the most Barovia way possible: crawling through the dirt, blasting his captors with Moonbeam from the top of a pine tree, and then refusing to come down because he did not trust us at all. Fair.Riven's introduction said everything we needed to know:this man survives. And he survives suspicious.After a tense standoff, he agreed to travel with us, keeping one eye on the road and one eye on us.But the day had other plans.Further along the Svalich Road, we found a small camp where Izek Strazni—the executioner who beheaded our former companion—was quietly chopping wood. Traxidor saw him and immediately tried to smite him out of existence.And that's when the forest exploded in fire.A teenage wizard came screaming out of the trees—Victor Vallakovich, the old Burgomaster's son—and launched a Fireball straight into our group. Urihorn's panther died instantly. The rest of us barely stayed standing. Traxidor tried to heal himself, but Victor Counterspelled him like he was swatting a fly. Daermon charmed the boy before he could kill us all.And then came the twist.Izek, freed from the Hold Person spell, didn't attack.He explained. Calmly. Honestly. Maybe even painfully.Our friend Valen'eir—the wizard Izek executed—had murdered a young gravedigger, confessed to serving Strahd, and threatened Vallaki. Izek claimed he was carrying out justice, not vengeance.The explanation didn't fix anything, but it changed everything.Suddenly the question wasn't “Is Izek evil?”It was “What do we not know about each other?”Riven watched this unfold like someone judging a very poorly run cult. Urihorn remembered that Van Richten once warned him Radley and Daermon might secretly serve Strahd. And at that moment, it didn't feel crazy.Both sides stepped back. A truce. A temporary ceasefire.Izek dragged the charmed Victor away. Ravens descended to pick at the scorched remains of Urihorn's panther.When we finally reached the Wizards of Wine, the Martikovs welcomed us like family returning from war. Dinner was warm, loud, and painfully normal—until Danika reminded us of a truth Barovia never lets you forget:“Barovia has only one ruler.”The table fell silent. And in that silence, someone noticed something impossible.Urihorn—our halfling ranger, our loyal friend—did not cast a shadow.In a land ruled by a vampire, a missing shadow isn't a quirk.It's a warning.And that's where Session Twenty-Three ends—not with a battle, but with a question.If Barovia takes pieces of you one at a time…who will you be when it's done?

Barovia doesn't believe in quiet mornings.The sun doesn't rise so much as negotiate with the fog, and when the party left Argynvostholt—bruised, burned, and out of everything but sarcasm—they were just trying to make it to the Wizards of Wine without adding another ghost to their growing collection.But the Svalich Road had other ideas.As the grey dawn crept in, the flicker of a bonfire appeared between the trees. Cut to: pine forest, heavy mist, silhouettes moving around a ritual circle. Urihorn scouts ahead and finds a scene straight out of a Barovian horror mural: wild druids preparing a sacrifice. Their prisoner—bound, smeared with wolfsbane, mugwort, and nightshade—is Riven Thal.What happens next is chaos.Cut to arrows, spell flashes, a druid collapsing into ash under Riven's Moonbeam. Riven, newly transformed into a chimeric cat, bolts up a tree and refuses to come down. He stares at the party through branches, glowing eyes full of mistrust. When he finally shifts back, he drops Moonbeam like a glowing warning line between himself and us.And that's how Riven joins the group: cautious, wounded, and deeply convinced we might be worse than the cultists.The road continues. The fog thickens. The camera follows the party to the next clearing where another campfire burns low. And standing there—with an axe and the world's worst timing—is Izek Strazni, Vallaki's executioner. The man who beheaded our former companion Valen'eir.Traxidor sees him and snaps.Cut to: Guiding Bolt blasting across the grass. Radley joins in. Daermon, too. Riven casts Hold Person just to stop the cleric from doing something irreversible.And then the forest explodes.A teenage wizard bursts from the trees, screaming, “Leave him alone!” Cue the orange surge of a Fireball blossoming across the clearing. Slow-mo: Urihorn's panther hurled backward and instantly killed. Radley shielding himself. Traxidor thrown to his knees. Riven staggering from the blast.The boy is Victor Vallakovich—son of Vallaki's previous burgomaster, amateur necromancer, full-time disaster. When Traxidor tries to heal, Victor flicks off a Counterspell like he's dismissing an insect. Daermon charms him before he unleashes round two.Then everything stops.Izek breaks free of the magical paralysis but doesn't attack. Instead, he talks. And the truth he gives is nothing like the one we built in our heads. According to Izek, our fallen companion Valen'eir murdered Milivoj the gravedigger, confessed to serving Strahd, and promised the town would burn. And the next day, Vallaki did.As the truth settles, even the fog seems to pause. Ravens circle overhead. Victor awkwardly waves at Daermon. And Izek, dragging the boy away, tells us to leave him be.Cut to ravens descending to peck at the remains of Urihorn's panther. A grim little epilogue to the morning.Finally, the party reaches the Wizards of Wine. Warm light. Family. Safety, or something like it. Over dinner, the Martikovs debate Vallaki's future, but Danika ends the conversation with a single chilling line:“Barovia has only one ruler.”The whole room goes quiet. The fire pops. And that's when someone notices something wrong—something impossible.Urihorn, sitting among friends, bathed in candlelight…does not cast a shadow.Cut to black.

Step into Barovia's haunted silence in The Mists of Argynvostholt, an audio journey through one of the most intense chapters of our Curse of Strahd campaign. This is Session 22 — an evening of peril, faith, and endurance that tested every spell slot, every saving throw, and every nerve at the table.Our adventurers—Urihorn Tenpenny, a halfling ranger with a loyal beast companion; Radley Fullthorn, a human Eldritch Knight balancing sword and spell; Traxidor, a cleric of light carrying the last fire of the Morninglord; and Daermon Cobain, an elf arcane trickster who fights with precision and wit—return to the fallen fortress of Argynvostholt, once home to the Order of the Silver Dragon.They come seeking redemption for a past defeat. Instead, they find the manor alive with malice. When Radley hesitates in the ballroom ruins, the ceiling comes alive: nine giant spiders descend on threads as thick as ropes. The sound of Thunderwave crashes through the hall, stones crack, and poison drips into the silence. The cleric's voice rises over the chaos—“Spare the Dying!”—and breath returns to the fallen knight's lungs.You'll hear the rhythm of the table as it happens: dice hitting wood, pages turning, whispered tactics, the exhale when a roll lands just high enough to survive. The fight spills through rooms where portraits still watch and cobwebs hold centuries of regret. Upstairs, spectral soldiers emerge through the walls, remnants of knights who once swore to serve the light. Divine radiance flares, the dead scatter, and the group presses deeper into the heart of Barovia's grief.Then—outside, silence. A coffin waits, freshly carved, Radley's name etched across the lid. He opens it. Empty. Without a word, he lies down inside, stares at the sky, and climbs out again. Later that night, they burn it for warmth.At dawn, the mist parts just long enough to reveal the glowing eyes of animated scarecrows, shambling through fog. Fire bolts and sacred flames turn darkness to light, if only for a moment.Every sound in this session matters: the flicker of fire, the scrape of steel, the faint breath between rolls. This is Dungeons & Dragons not as spectacle, but as shared memory—friends, imagination, and danger made real through voice.The Mists of Argynvostholt invites you to listen close. Feel the dice, the story, the fear, the laughter. Barovia is calling.

The screen fades in on mist. The remains of Argynvostholt rise like a broken cathedral above a grey valley. Then, faintly, the sound of boots, breathing, and whispered plans. This is Session 22 — a full visual chronicle of the night our party defied the ghosts, webs, and curses of Barovia's most haunted ruin.The video podcast version of Fire in the Webs captures the energy of play in a way that only a tabletop camera can. The dice roll in frame. The players' faces shift between tension, humor, and awe. You see every movement of the miniatures on the map, every quick exchange that turns a near-death moment into triumph.The story begins with a decision: to re-enter Argynvostholt, the fallen seat of the Silver Dragon's order. Within minutes, everything unravels. Radley Fullthorn, the human Eldritch Knight, pauses to gauge the room. From above, the ceiling trembles—and from the darkness, nine spiders the size of horses descend. The table explodes with action. Dice scatter. Spells ignite. Radley casts Thunderwave, the camera catching his player's hands lifting as the blast shakes miniatures across the board. When the knight falls to poison, the scene slows. Traxidor, half-elf cleric, murmurs the words to Spare the Dying as his player leans forward over the table, eyes fixed. The room holds its breath until the roll succeeds.From there, the session ascends into exploration and unease. Through dim corridors, spectral soldiers emerge—phantoms of the fallen order. The lighting in the studio turns blue-white as Channel Divinity erupts across the map. Ghosts flee. The camera pans over character sheets: empty spell slots, dwindling health bars, notes scrawled in haste.But Barovia is never finished. Outside, under a sky that never brightens, a wagon departs and leaves behind a coffin. The engraving on its lid: Radley Fullthorn. Laughter cuts the tension. He lies down inside it, “just to see,” then climbs out and orders it burned. The table breaks into uneasy smiles. It's macabre humor born from exhaustion and survival—the real language of adventurers who have stared too long into the dark.Morning brings the final battle: animated scarecrows advancing through mist. Their eyes glow. Fire answers. The table's energy shifts from fear to exhilaration as the party wins, spent but unbroken.Visually, this episode bridges two worlds: the haunted imagination of Barovia and the tangible magic of players at the table. You can see how Dungeons & Dragons becomes more than a game—it's performance, collaboration, and living story.Fire in the Webs – Session 22 is part theater, part documentary, and part survival tale. Watch it to understand how dice and friendship can build worlds—and how courage can still burn, even in Barovia's endless night.

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.
