Session 28 report
General Summary
Frolicking through Berez
The party continue explore Berez.
They come across a scarecrow.
They see that the scarecrow is stuffed with raven feathers.
The party discuss setting the scarecrow on fire.
Isabell does so with a fire bolt.
The scarecrow glares at the party, paralyzing Quill in fear.
Isabell isn't concerned and throws fire bolts at it until turns to ash.
Quill breathes a sigh of relief. They hear goats in the the distance.
They carry on taking out any scarecrows they find.
The scarecrows manage to scare party members as they come across them but the party members make quick work of them. Kriz hits the head off one of the scarecrows and it goes flying off into the distance. The find the remains of a mansion but carry onwards. They find the remains of a church attached to a cemetery. Isabell reasons that they came here because the town might have a way to keep Strahd out and thinks the church may have been the key to that. She also wants to see if the church has amber doors as it could have something to do with madame Eva's card reading. On arriving at the church they can see that it has no doors. Isabell: Maybe amber doors is a metaphor for not having doors
Quill: That would be a fun puzzle. Quill sees a faint erect structure in the distance. Like a pillar. The party head towards it. They want to scout things out. Hidden by the fog and elevated a few feet above the surrounding marsh is a raised plot of land, barely ten feet on a side, enclosed by a disintegrating iron fence. In the center of the plot is a life-sized stone monument carved in the likeness of a kneeling peasant girl clutching a rose. Although her features are gray and weatherworn, she bears a striking resemblance to Ireena Kolyana. Carved into the monument’s base is an epitaph. The epitaph reads: Marina, Taken by the Mists. Quill: oooooooo I know what happened... I mean Marina? That's basically Ireena. She was taken by Strahd. Markadoo: I think that was kind of anti climactic... I thought there would be more of a clue as to what is going on. The party hears gurgling noises and shapes in the mist nearby. Isbell: I guess we should fall back towards the church...
Quill: ZOMBIES The party head back and into the church.
The church is ruined with a big brass bell sunken in to the floor. The bell contains a scarecrow head. They look back towards the shapes. Fassi can tell there is more than 3 headed towards them. Quill proposes they hang out in the church and use the doors to create a bottle neck.
They look back.
The zombies are quite slow. Quill thinks they should keep exploring but Isabell thinks they should deal with the threat now so they don't sneak up behind them. Quill agrees but grows impatient. Quill: Ahhhh, they are so slow... hope about I stab them and then run back.
Isabell: Ok sure.
Quill: If i'm not back in a minute, something has gone wrong. Quill sneaks off towards them.
She finds what seems to be a swarm of zombies with bloated bellies. Quill thinks they are super gross and decides stabbing them is defs the right options.
Quill sneaks up and cuts one in half from bottom to top.
As she cuts it in half, snakes spill out of its bloated belly.
Quill runs. She makes it back to the church and relays what happened to the party and thinks that holing up in the church might not be the best idea. The party strategise but as they are thinking about what to do, the swarm of snakes catches up to them. The new plan is "kill snakes". Quill slices at them with her rapier. Fassi shoots some of the snakes with a crossbow. Isabell Creates a giant web and snares a bunch of the zombies. Kriz runs towards the zombies and smashes one in the face with his mace, then calls down a divine smite.
The zombie explodes and snakes spill out.
They attack him but he dodges. Quill pokes another zombie in the tummy, causing it to essentailly pop.
Snakes spill out. Fassi shoots one of the zombies in the balls. Snakes spill out and the zombie cumbles. Isabell: run Kriz!
She starts preparing a fireball. Another couple of zombies stumble over and swing at Kriz, but Kriz blocks them with his shield.
One of the zombies breaks free of the web Kriz swings at some nearby snakes and legs it.
He gets attacked by snakes as he runs, taking a bunch of bites in the process. Isabell casts her fire ball, whiping out most of the snakes, the ones that are left are in bad shape. The ones that were unlucky enough to be caught in the web got the worst of it. Isabell pats herself on the back but can't see how many are left through the fog. The remaining snakes chase after Kriz and manage to bite him again.
