Session 35

Amber Temple Theme
Amber Temple Ambience

• strahd in the middle of the bridge

• nighttime now, it's getting dark

• Ezmerelda and Rictavio stay outside to fight wolves? Snow caves everyone in?

  • The guardian can dig them out
• Amber Temple reminders:

  • Extreme Cold
  • Darkvision limited to only 20 feet
  • Neferon attacks as soon as they walk down the stairs
• Tell them how to kill Strahd in the Amber Temple library

  • Once he is killed, he turns to mist and returns to his coffin where he regenerates
  • There, they have to perform a ritual to either:
    • summon the link to Vampyr and sever it
    • summon Vampyr himself
      • then either:
        • kill Vampyr
        • or perform a ritual to lock him in an amber shard
  • Ritual one:
    • As a ritual, three casters must proceed with the spell for 10 uninterrupted minutes
    • summons Vampyr
  • Ritual two:
    • as a ritual one caster must succeed on 3 consecutive magic checks in their spell casting ability, DC 16.
    • you can make the casting of this ritual take bonus actions instead of actions so its easier
    • the caster must be able to see Vampyr for each roll. They can't be in a different room or casting blindly in darkness. They've got to see the beast to imprison it.
    • And lastly, the ritual requires a chip of amber as a component.
