The Mistwalkers of Barovia

The party finds a pair of pristine caskets bearing the names of Rose and Thorn, preserved by some greater good within the land and warded against the evil of the house. Laying their corpses from the attic inside, the ghosts are freed from their fate and thank the party for their aide. After this, the group returns to the attic to rest.

Rushing with the injured Beor, the Mistwalkers arrive at the house of the morninglord to heal him and gain knowledge of the strange village. They find that the Priest, Father Donavich, is happy to help but has a grim crisis of his own. His son Dormu had been turned into a vampire by Strahd, and is kept below the church. The party learn about the devillish ruler of the mists, and after healing Beor, promise to return.

The party finds the house the wailing comes from to be in disrepair and disuse. Furroughs of dust mark the floor from the stairs to the table where food in progressive stages of rot lays. Goint upstairs, the party finds the distraught woman, Mary, as well as the room of her daughter Gertruda who seems to have been seduced by Strahd and spirited away, seeing him like a fairytale prince. The Mistwalkers spend several hours cleaning the house for the catatonic woman and pledge to keep an eye out for her daughter.

The Mistwalkers observe a procession of specters, of all races and origins, stemming from the church graveyard and marching solemnly beyond the village. Camille recognizes several members of her own order, and Benedict attempts to contact one ghost mentally. He is unprepared for the buffet of woe and despair however. The collective psyche of these fallen heroes, the previous generations of mistwalkers, have joined together as one in their loss.

The shovel escapade.

Upon arriving to Saint Andral's Church in order to discuss the disposal of the remains of Zaffard, they are informed that due to his status as a soulless husk, a funerary pyre is necessary and wood will need to be collected.
Additionally, Father Petrovich makes a personal entreaty to the party that they recover the missing bones of Saint Andral, the churches namesake, and thus restore the divine protections it was bestowed with. Leads are given and the investigation begins.

After recovering the Sun Sword and showing it to Valda, her vampiric nature was revealed. What followed was an explanation of her involvement at murdering the Von Holtz family, subordinated to Strahd's will, and her vampiric curse afterwards. The party tested Ireena for a similar response, but found she was only averse to the light, but not harmed by it. Thus they knew she was not yet fully turned.

After the lightning resulting from Strahd's fury, the mistwalkers frantically aided the residents of Krezk in snuffing the flames that engulfed their town. Afterwards, the Burgeonmaster thanked them but asked if they would leave such that no further ruin would be brought upon Krezk. Wishing Ismark fairwell, the mistwalkers made camp outside the gates for the night.

Travelling back to Krezk, the party took a detour and made camp outside of a tower they saw off beside a lake, vowing to investigate on the following morning.
