The Beast Report

General Summary

Our Adventurers Arrive
At dawn a mist rolls away from the outer edge of the village of Orasnou revealing a small group of strangers. Among these strangers is what would seem to be a female dusk elf wearing cloth robes, a male albino tiefling who wears leather clothing, a human female that wears the armor of a fighter, and a humanoid lizard that bears the clerical armor of the Morninglord. It is not long before the bewildered group cautiously enters the village and meets Gregori Wurlbach, the owner of the town general store, and barber which bears a catchy name, "The Hare and Hair". After a couple hours of exploring and talking to the local the group learns Laszlo and Alina's story and decide to go in search of the community's local trappers. As the party of adventurers prepare to depart they hear a yelping animal and when they find it, it is a new born wolf pup with silver fur. Gregori states that it turned up tied to Glovia's door four days previously. Gregori promises to look after the pup and the group continues out of the village.

RETURN TO ORASNOU & A HANGING

The party arrives back at Orasnou surviving the journey back and the nasty weather that had arrived. They made much better time this go around. After turning Alina over to the village leaders they begun to make their way to the local inn called Seven Tables Inn. As they departed they, unfortunatley, witness the burgomaster hanging Alina from his roof top. He stated "Teh moon has cursed this girl", and then hung her. Knowing there is very little they could do, the group continues on to the Inn. On the way they learn that the wolf pup had been frightened by the storm and ran away.

A SPLASH OF BLOOD HAWKS
The loosely banded group that was myseriously brought to the northern lands of Barovia spends a considerable time moving in the general direction of where they believe the trappers had gone. The forest had been fairly quiet for the journey, however; after about an hour the trees aghead became positively alive with the excited chittering and cawing of hunting birds. They took wing after hardly a breath and attacked the group. It is not the easiest task, however the group manages to dispatch the birds and then find a decomposing body of what use to be a human male below the tree they were in. It would seem they were defending their meal.

VADUVA'S CAMPSITE
The party spots a campsite, but as they draw close the group realize that nothing lives there. There are obvious signs of a struggle--long scrapes in the dirt, fresh boot tracks, and a damaged corpse give away the scene. It is clear that a blizzard is moving in quickly from the mountains to the north and they are quickly running out of time to get back to safety. Teh air has become sharp and crips, and is almost still as the clouds prepare to break and shower freezing doom upon the land. They discover a partially ravaged body and several items among the remains of the campfire. One of the items they find is a silver dagger. Before departing the area, they meet Aya Glenmiir, a bewildered elf and her two compatriots. They were brought to Barovia via the mists, as so many before them.

DOES A BEAR SIT IN THE WOODS?
The weary group of adventurers come upon a strange situation as they continue to search for Alina Vaduva. A very dead bear sits, leaning against a tree slightly off the path, its belly horrifically distended. The stench is overwhelming, even from nearly forty feet away. The party is smart and manages to deal with the corpse at a distance. They proceed to kill the centipedes that come forth from the corpse. As they continue along two of the group experience strange sensations. One seems to see the trees warp and twist in front of him, and the other gets a strange stabbing pain across their abdomen. These sensations fade away as quick as they started.

WOLF DEN
The characters come upon a cave and begin to explore it: It was quite apparent that it was a wolf den. Broken, gnawed bones littered the floor, and scraps of fur from a large number of animals were shredded and scattered about the cavern. The smells of offal and rotting meat competed for attention, and the results are exactly as you would expect. As the adventurers take in their environment, a loud peal of thunder reverberated around the cave—the storm outside had finally broken loose! Freezing rain and hail begin to pelt the cave entrance, and howling wind tears through the forest. After the crew had spent some time investigating the cave: The sound of baying wolves breaks the silence. A moment later, a young, silver-haired woman with an immense wolf in tow stumbled into the den; gasping in agony with a bloody hand clasped over her belly. As she saw the group, her face contorted into rage. She spat a curse; flecks of blood danced on her lips. Her curses turn into a throaty growl as she falls to her hands and knees. Her body contorted and twisted as her form changed to that of a large, silver-furred wolf. The beast throws its head back and howls, and then charged at the party. A battle raged in which the group eventually came out on top as the victors. They captured Alina and took her with them back to the village.
