The ride through the early morning mists down to the winery is thankfully uneventful, and the group arrive there in good spirits, happy that they’ll be helping the place to produce better wines again.

Had they been anywhere else, the adventurers might have woken to rays of morning sunlight streaming in through the windows of their little bedroom, but this is Barovia, so the room just becomes a smidge lighter than it was. As they pack up their belongings, Thia tells them about the corpse she saw rising from … Continue reading Episode 5: Rise of the Revenants →

As the sun starts to set behind the ever-present clouds that darken Barovia’s skies, Siri sadly tells the others what has happened with Ireena, although she doesn’t understand why.
