After leaving the Durst Manor, we made our way down the main street of Barovia Village. On our way we came across an older lady selling Dream Loafs. Note immediately buys some, eats one whole and instantly passes out. Afterwards we continue down until we come across the Blood of the Vine Tavern, hoping to find a place to rest, and to deal with the unconscious Note, we enter. Upon entering the tavern we are welcomed by the [[Bildrath]] of Bildrath's Mercantile, 3 [[Visnati]] women, and [[Ismark Kolyanovich]] who approaches us. He rewards us for helping Vasili early on and offers lodging and payment to protect his sister, [[Ireena Kolyana]], as their home has been attacked by werewolves at night. We agree. He also asks us to go to the church to ask [[Father Donavich]] to prepare a funeral for his father, [[Kolyan Indirovich]]. After leaving the tavern, we first visit Bildrath's Mercantile to the south where Note haggled an exchange of goods and came out with a longbow +1, where as Flynn after selling his nick knacks from the manor, bought a staff under the suspicion that it was more than it appeared, and after inspecting it, there was a faint magical energy. Afterwards we visited Mary's Townhouse, where Mary herself opened the door and she was very distraught. After a brief conversation we learned that her daughter, [[Gertruda]], has gone missing along with her last horse. She suspects that [[Doru]] is the reason for this, as they spoke of traveling to [[Vallaki]]. After some tomfollery leaving a smile a Mary's face we move on towards the church. Approaching the church we see [[Father Donavich]] pleading and yelling at [[Rolan]], a servant of Strahd, who seeks to take the Father's son, saying that he can give him a better life. After simply walking past [[Rolan]] with minor amounts of taunting, the party enters the church where we learn that the son that [[Rolan]] wanted to take was in fact [[Doru]], who has been turned into a vampire spawn. Unfortunately to prep the funeral, the party needed to reacquire the Father's holy symbol that was given to [[Doru]]. This was accomplished by giving him one of the Dream Pastries covered in blood. After getting it back and the funeral prepared. We are met outside again by [[Rolan]], who is questioned by Leonidas as to why he is here and why they are so interested in us and glean nothing useful other than a strange interest in Leonidas, wondering if he'll taste like the other dragons he's tasted. As the funeral commences, we notice that we are being watched by [[Rahadin]], the Chamberlin of Strahd. After getting his attention he hands Leonidas a letter to give to "the new Burgomaster". Upon reading it was immediately obvious that there was an attack being made on [[Ireena Kolyana|Ireena]] and we hurry back. As we are leaving the church, Bungus succumbs to his transformation and become a werewolf. yay. After successfully making it back to the Indirovich Estate, we are able to fend off the attack, although the werewolf present was able to flee after being bloodied. In the aftermath we are tasked with taking [[Ireena Kolyana|Ireena]] to [[Vallaki]]. At which point we return to the Tavern, enjoy our meal play some tunes and depart for the church so we can witness "parade" as its being called where the [[Parader]], the ghostly visages of past adventurers rise and parade towards [[Castle Ravenloft]]. Even after attempting to get their attention the wander on towards that which made them this way, [[Strahd Von Zarovich]], in hopes of returning home. # End of Session Side Notes - Dan rolled a fuken Nat 20 on a DC of 32 to pick pocket a servant of the devil to steal a hyper potion.
