The party (Ravenloft)

The party (Ravenloft)

The party is drawn toward Ravenloft, where the mists thicken and the carriage doors close silently as the horses begin their journey up towards the castle.†† The party used to have a book called The Tome of Strahd.†

Into the castle

After a vote, the DM confirmed the party went downstairs.† The characters who fell were in a five foot by five foot cell.† The party widened the bars enough to slip through, using piss on a kobold skin wrapped around the bar.† The party found 4,960 silver and 630 gold.† The party got across the hole.†

Dangers within

The ghosts’ damage came as physical wounds from aging, so everyone got very old looking.† Everyone went unconscious except Todd.† Everyone is level six after Donovan died, and the DM later said everybody is level seven.††
