Gondalin

An Eladrin of the Summer court, he has been tasked in the last few hundred years to feed the town of Slvok, and so he has grown an Orchard with help from some faeries from the Fey Wild. Gondalin enjoyed Puppet shows and after the party led by Nadarr put on a great show for him he told them about the Coven of Hags who serve Strahd. Gondalin disappeared, pleased at the new outsiders in the town.

Vlastimir

The Reeve of Slvok, they met him interrupting his town meeting, he showed them to the Town Hall and spoke with them telling them not to make trouble. late revised him and confronted him about the Coven of Hags, and he told them about the gifting tree and the tradition Slvok has had since he was a boy. Being informed of the young girl Faina, who was to be the sacrifice to the Hags in three days time but when visiting her father in the Mines the mine was attacked and she hasn't returned. Nadarr offered to take her place as he himself is a virgin. Vlastimir, in addition, will give them information on how to get into Karazhan. Vlastimir went on to explained to the group that the green fire on their torches comes from an oil that the Town of Karovich gifts them every few years. The oil burns for a long time and helps them ward off the undead. With the Impossible task of recovering Faina issued, they have until the night of the 5th Darnimir to return the girl; Vlastimir gave them supplies and wished them well though he was not optimistic for their success.

Notes

Slvok has signs of a struggle from months past, with its main gates heavily damaged. What was intriguing was that the Doors were not repaired. The party arrived in Slvok and immediately interrupted a town meeting which was quickly dispersed. Nadarr realising how dangerous his current situation is, begrudgingly summoned his Familar and mothers spy, a brass pseudodragon by the alias Dragor [Dray-gOR] Mist took one Green Torch from the path leading through the Main Gate and extinguished it, placing it within his inventory. They get to the mine after rushing overnight, sleeping outside the Mine in a ruined building which seemed to double up as a sleeping arrangement and administration hall. After getting inside the Mine they quickly found the assailants of the miners; a Wight, raising undead from a rather ominous pile of bones in the corner. dispatching the creature they ready for the other horrors and hopefully Faina further inside the Iron Mines of Slvok.
