Daybreak

So it seems like the family name is getting around. Reputation, too. Not sure that I like that. Father accepted some hireling request from the [NAME] family. Apparently, they're rich, and dear mommy and daddy don't want them runnin' off to Waterdeep on th...

I am so fucking done with the undead. If I never seen another undead horror for the rest of my life, I may just die a happy man. ...Maybe. So we pick up right from where we left off. Having dealt with the thieves and found the Writ of Passage and the p...

We got off the Gypsy's Fury and almost immediately met a fucking dwarf. This is where it began. So we meet this fucking dwarf covered in blood and gore, and he claims he was in Neverwinter just the night before, though he was with his brothers in a ca...

So turns out Strahd Von Zarovich himself had attended this old man's funeral. He was controlling the beasts outside the village. Go figure. "The Devil" himself decided to show up to the Burgermeister's wake, because "he was a good man" and "his death was ...

As you can probably tell, if you've been reading these journals, that there's been a large gap between this and the last one. I'm not 100% sure where the pages went (I know I wrote them down somewhere), but I have a sneaking suspicion that fucking Erkki t...

After a very long night and hardly any sleep, I managed to finally calm my mind enough to go to sleep in one of the rooms in the windmill. I kept replaying Elaine's death over and over, trying to come up with... something. Anything. Wanting to be able to ...

I stayed behind with Ezmerelda and Rudolf after the others went back into the Inn, hoping to glean some more useful information from them about our enemy. To be honest, the rest of them are fools for not taking this chance to learn as much from these two ...

I wasn't sleeping like I should when Ireena burst into the Blue Water Inn and began shouting about an ally of Strahd having infiltrated the city. With my issues about Marushka keeping me up, and this thunderstorm going on outside, sleep wasn't coming to m...

I'm going to be honest, I don't remember a lot of the morning. Probably from all the drink the Bishop had with him. We kinda drank him dry as I recall. As the day went on, we decided to split up and follow the two leads we decided needed looking into: The...

Strazni left without much of a fight once the battle with the vampires were said and done, all told. He demanded we meet him at the Baron's home immediately and left. We decided to crack the sealed letter open for some insight on what was going on and Str...

I write this journal during the late hours of night and into the early light of day, watching the sun rise with Marushka by my side as we drive Ezmerelda's wagon towards our destination of Argynvostholt. I will now recount the events of the past day. K...

The events leading up to this journal entry have been harrowing, to say the least. I write this journal in, I believe, the wee hours of the morning; sunrise, if this realm had one, would be shortly coming. I'll recount the events as best as I can remember...

Upon waking the next day, the way forward was opened to us into the rest of Argynvostholt. Oswald summoned his horse the night before, and with the creature, Van Richten, and Ezmerelda, our party went forth. The next chamber was a great hall, the path thr...

I awoke earlier in the morning than I had really wanted, but despite my best efforts, I could not get back to sleep. In getting prepared for the day, I looked at the pile of clothes and armor on the floor of the wagon, and thought back to the events of th...

Good lord. Where do I even start with this one? We woke up in the morning and began our trek through the ruins towards the center of the city, following the.. magical leyline or whatever it was. In order to prevent a repeat of the day before, I made s...

After waking the next day after losing our friends once again, we were greeted by the very brief sight of Strahd von Zarovich disappearing into a cloud of mist while Elaine continues to keep watch. Of course we all began to berate her and demand an explan...

As dawn broke over the land, or at least what passes for dawn here, we awoke to the sound of an echoing church bell. We gathered our things and continued on towards Krezk, talking about our plans amongst ourselves as we went. Truth be told, I largely igno...

Having left the Abbey at Krezk, we didn't bother to go back into the city proper. Who knows how the citizens may react when they find out their "Abbot" is dead. If they don't already. I didn't plan to stick around and find out. We argued about trying to f...

We left the Vistani to their own devices with some promise that we could return to rest if we required it. Helpful, I suppose. As we proceeded through the antechamber before us, a large statue at the end of the room attacked us, getting the jump on us by ...

Let me preface this by saying nothing I’d so far encountered in this godsforsaken land could have prepared me for today. Not even the events of yesterday. I was awoke sometime in the early hours of the morning by Marushka, usually something I’d be ...

Dear Marushka, I write this to you specifically though it is rather unorthodox in that I have written it within my personal journal. We have a custom in Faerun when people are to be wed that involve an exchanging on rings. I have not such a thing on...

So, we ended up taking that longer rest, as I expected. Marushka and I shared a crypt with Oswald and Kasimir, still barely able to be protected by Leomund's Tiny Hut that Elaine had become so fond of. Elaine, Bryndon, Eerika and our new friend Oren took ...

Allow me to recount events up until this point, for fear that I may lose myself by night’s end… We awoke from our rest and began exploring the rest of the castle, in search of the Heart of Sorrow. To be quite honest, I don’t recall much of what t...

I’m sorry. Let me say that first. I love you. I know you’ve been upset with me since I took the Stoyanavich curse upon myself, and I never really gave you an explanation. Allow me to do so now. I have not been very outspoken about my family back...

We won. We killed Strahd von Zarovich and set free the land of Barovia. Like all great victories, however, it came with sacrifices. I do not recall much of the battle, as the experience of being a werewolf places the mind in a frenzy of instinct and r...
