Curse of Strahd Session 11
General Summary
Goldra, 17th of Mid-Ardent, 1736
The party follows the trail Strahd went in his fog form into a grand room full of architecture made from bone. After some banter, Strahd became impatient and headed off elsewhere, leaving behind two of his guards and three zombies to deal with them. The party defeated the creatures and took the dragon skull off elsewhere.
“You refer to Tatyana as if she were an object.” ~ Clovis
“With how much I have brought her way only for Sergei to take it all from me, I say she owes me.” ~ Strahd
After heading back upstairs, Waldemar Beck gathered the party into the dining hall after Clovis and Escher let low the drawbridge to the castle. Once assembled, that’s when a black shroud surrounded the party as Waldemar dissolved into a new and void-black entity known as the Nameless Host. It mentioned to the Fevre brothers that there are terms they ought to know if they ever hope to escape Barovia.
“Strahd will not be freed upon Antonin’s death. It requires the entire death of the Fevre bloodline. When he discovers this term, he will certainly hunt you all down until the end.”
After the party makes their way out of Ravenloft, they make their way back to the Tser Pool Encampment to meet back up with Madam Eva. There, she praises the party for dragging the hefty skull of Argynvost and encourages them to take it to Argynvostholt to light the beacon and set the Order of the Silver Dragon at peace.
She also mentions that there is the Amber Temple for the party to see if they wish to know where Barovia’s troubles first began. She cautions that deals can be made with the dark powers there but Tastarn’s soul would be at great risk because of his ties to the Infernal Clan.
Arachdra, 18th of Mid-Ardent, 1736
During the night, the party dreamt of something peculiar...
Slipping away, you find yourself in a vast yet enclosed space of shrouds of black fog within a barren rocky field. Within the field is a massive outcrop of jagged rocks that circle around a massive cavity in the ground. Walking down its spiraling path is a massive umbral figure. Each heavy step it takes stirs a headache. Above you are floating masses of rocks and up there are bat-shaped creatures seemingly made of void crystal glaring with a burning hatred.
In the morning, the party asked Madame Eva about it. She believes the Nameless Host was trying to taunt them if they hoped to destroy it
Shaking the thought away, the party heads on and arrives at Argynvostholt, a mansion which is a ghost of its former self.
