Session 4 - MONSTER FIGHT!!!!!!!

Let's kick off this session with a BIG MONSTER FIGHT!!! Here. We. Go....
....
Well that could have gone much better. Ryden goes down pretty early in the fight and gets mushed into the ground by some tentacles. The rest of the team continue to beat on the abomination and eventually a baby comes out of it. Bull is able to grab it, but before he can do anything to help it bleeds out. As the party considers their next move the house begins to collapse in on itself, as the spell keeping it from aging is broken and the house seems to catch up to its age.
Once outside, while they discuss what to do with Ryden's body, he sits up screaming. Ryden is now some form of undead with a potential connection to some wraith-like entity, despite his quest to kill all undead.
The party continues forth to the Village of Barovia and enters the inn where they meet Ismark Kolyanovich, the Bergomaster of Barovia and son of Kolyan Indirovich. He tells us that the mist around the town has everyone trapped here as it is not navigable by anyone other than the Vistani and those allowed by Count Strahd. He invites us to his home so that we can speak more freely the following day.
