TODO

• Izek has been checking in on the boys that were transformed into werewolves

• Print out the Mad Mage for Miller

• Up Strahd's stats so that he's harder; read Mandy Mod and some of the other guides

  • if he's harder, then Elora stands a good chance of actually being able to help him
• Sarah wants to betray the party

  • She needs to communicate with Strahd that she is willing
  • He'll have someone drop the sword mid-battle, and she'll go pick it up to take his side
  • He has Scrying abilities with Elora because he got a lock of her hair
• Don't forget the Mad Mage - He should come flying in somewhere drunk off his ass

  • he stole a broom from a Barovian Witch
  • He has a flask in his hand, and he flies around the party ranting about how "it's time" to fight Strahd
• Put a sarcophagus in the amber temple for Menigal, but maybe it's open already?

  • Someone else came and let him into the mists
• Ismark:

  • would probably have gotten worried after a few days of not hearing back
  • would have sent someone to Krezk to check on Ireena
  • would have heard from Father Lucian that Pelanil mercy-killed her
  • most likely, he would mourn, but wouldn't blame the party when even he couldn't keep his sister safe
  • for an interesting filler to a session:
    • Ismark bursts into the room guns a blazing, fighting Pelanil
    • Obviously, he doesn't stand a chance
    • but you should make him seem really sad and pitiful
    • then have the emotional conversation of how he feels about losing his sister

• Spotify playlist for strahd's final battle Music Compiled

• What happened in Krezk (Ezmerelda told them already)

  • At the Festival of the Blazing Sun, a guard laughed and Burgomaster Vallakovich had him tied to his horse and dragged behind
  • An angry mob broke out
    • everyone was on edge since the vampires attacked; the festivals didn't seem to work
  • They hung Baron Vargas Vallakovich and Lydia
  • Taking advantage of the chaos, Fiona Wachter took power
  • Half the town is burned, half the town and half the guards are dead
  • Most people are staying inside
• Figure out what to do with the werewolf kids long term

  • The kids already told Pelanil they're kinda cool with being werewolves
  • maybe they return to the den to capitalize on the political schism
  • or go off to start their own pack
  • decision: Lazlo, Hans, and Franz decide to go back to the werewolf den to attempt to take advantage of the political schism and free the other children
• place the third missing gem somewhere

  • inside the Heart of Sorrow Statblock
• Ezmerelda and van Richten

  • maybe run the Ezmerelda event when they take the skull back to Argynvostholt
  • or van Richten when Bardolf goes werewolf at night

Ireena options:

• The party comes across a grave somewhere meaningful. Strahd has buried her

  • The Abbot refused to revive her, so Strahd buried her
• Strahd is able to bring her back via The Abbot

  • The Abbot convinced Strahd to leave her corpse so that he could (unbeknownst to Strahd) sew her into Vasilka
• Can The Abbot actually bring people back to life?!

  • yes he can
  • So, maybe Strahd takes Ireena there to be revived The Abbot asks Strahd to leave her so that he can "give Strahd his heart's desire"
    • he actually uses her corpse to add pieces to Vasilka
    • and this will piss strahd off when he finds out
  • Or The Abbot reincarnated Ireena into Vasilka's shell

• Give Pelanil a dream from the Dark Power that gives him extra strength to help with damage

Decision for Ireena:

• Strahd took her to The Abbot to be revived
• The Abbot tried, but the spell wouldn't work correctly (Strahd's curse of never being with Tatyana stopped it from working)
• They buried her outside the church
• After Strahd left, The Abbot dug her up and cut off her scalp and hair to add to Vasilka
  • he hopes that he can re-incarnate Tatyana into this body to present to Strahd for a wedding
