🎃The party gathers together for the burial of the Burgomaster and the Priest’s son before setting out to take Ireena to Vallaki.
Taking a shortcut the arrive at a Vistani camp and hear stories about Strahd and the Wizard who challenged him. The old fortune teller reads their cards and reveals that she has an item they may need hidden in her camp – the sun sword! Pressing on the heroes pass a black carriage drawn by 2 black horses waiting with an open door near the road leading up to the castle. While most of the adventurers stayed clear Bastle and Dora creep inside to look for treasure. Drastrix, the Lizardman, tries to jump on the horses not realizing that horses are easily startled – especially by giant lizard people. Drastrix is thrown from the horses as the carriage door slams shut and Bastle and Dora are carried up to the castle. After some debate between the party about what to do they eventually decide they must press on to Vallaki. As they are nearly at the town their party is attacked by the minions of Strahd. A vampire spawn, 4 werewolves and swarms of bats descend on the group as the vampire demands the adventurers turn over Ireena. The werewolves are unhurt by unsilvered weapons, but the combined magical might of the group along with good teamwork defeats the attackers. The heroes quicken their pace and finally arrive at Vallaki having safely delivered Ireena away from the village of Barovia.
