recap

The morning began in the quiet ashes of a campfire. Stanmir greeted the party with a warning: Do not disturb Madam Eva. Lily did anyway, finding her asleep on a pallet, and—perhaps wisely—left her be.

South they traveled, catching a glimpse of an undead rider through the mist. As fog parted, a lonely watchtower emerged. Within, they uncovered a cold silver amulet bearing a dragon’s sigil, two graves, a dead wolf, and a magical noose—discovered when it wrapped itself around Apa’s hand.

Wolves stalked them soon after. In an ambush gone sideways, one lunged Lily off a ravine. Thinking fast, Apa tossed the rope and shouted, “Noosed!”—snagging her neck, saving her from the fall but choking her breath. She gasped out “uncoil,” barely escaping death, then climbed back up. Kaelin transformed into a dire wolf, tearing into the attackers. The survivors fled.

They continued, crossing a bridge beneath Tser Falls, where a revenant barred the way. Claiming allegiance to Strahd failed when they learned he served the Order of the Silver Dragon. He warned them: seek Argynvostholt and Sir Godfrey.

Further along, they met the hags of Old Bonegrinder, who offered rest and pies—but stirred Enya’s wrath. Declining the offer, they pressed on toward Vallaki.

Near the lake Ireena saw in her dreams, the ravens grew in number. A man burst from the trees, wounded, begging for help. But Enya saw through the ruse. Azurite’s javelin struck true—only for the man to rise laughing, transforming into a massive werewolf:
“Shame… it’s more fun when they run.”

Session Overview

started waking up around the ashes of the campfire
Stanmir washing, bid good morning, advised against distrubing Madam eva
Lily distrubed anyway, finding she was alseep on a pallet, left her be.
Traveleld south along the road to vallaki, saw a glimpse of an undead rider in the fog, but kept clear of it.
as the fog parted they saw a watch tower, exploring they found a silver pendant, cold to the touch, a silver dragon etched into the amulet. 2 graves and a dead wolf.
on the top floor they found a black rope, tied into a noose, apa tocuhed the rope and it began to coil in his hands. they untangled it figuring out it must be magic.
they dug up the two corpses finding one had died due to the noose, another to a wolf.
after a few hours of travel they realised they were being stalked by wolves.
Planning an ambush, they pretended like they didnt notice, however they actually hadnt spotted one of the wolves, which lunged out from the underbrush and knocked lily off a ravine 50ft deep.
she fell, but through quick thinking Apa was able to throw the rope out and shouted 'NOOSED' the rope tied it self around lilys neck, slaming her into the wall and cutting off her air way, but saving her from a drop.
the others fought the wolves, and attempted to pull lily up, she managed to uncoil the rope by gargling 'uncoil' through struggled breaths. then caught the rope and began to climb up the side of the mountain.
kaelin hulked out, turning into a giant wolf and tore the neck of one of the smaller wolves out.
3 live wolves ran, leaving the party alone.
below in the ravine they saw a fourth slinking back into the forest.
they continued on through the path, finding a bridge passing under the tserfalls. a revenant stood guard.
they attempted to decieve the revanant, saying they worked for stradh, until they found that the revenant belong to an order named the silver dragon. he advised the party to beware, and travel to argnsvolt hold to speak to Sir Godfrey (west, beyond the walled town, then south upon the ash-gray path.)
onward they travelled, passing a old monolith, showing a raven on a 3 pointed star.
they found a windmill, inside were 3 old ladys, Morgantha and her two daughters Bella and Ofelia, they offered short stay, and angered Enya due to Morgantha resiting intimidation.
they chatted for a bit, but left after buying a few fresh pies.
They travelled into the valley, the woods below breaking into a clearing far away, a walled town standing south of a giant grey lake, beyond the lake stood a snowy mountain.
2 more hours they travelled, almost picking up ravens as they went.
Apa saw a figure moving in the treeline with them
Ireena wanted to go check out the lake and proclaimed it was the same as in her dreams. once they got back to the path the ravens had trippled.
suddenly a man burst from the underbrush, clutching his arm telling the party to run, somthing was after him.
Enya saw through his lies and ordered Azurite to throw a javelin.
the javelin pierced the man, and as they approached his gurgles became laughter, as he transformed into a giant werwolf. snapped the javelin and said 'shame, its more fun when they run.'
