• Traveling down the road to the village of Barovia, our heroes make a brief side trek into the forest. Finding a corpse and a riddle among the trees brought them into conflict with a host of large wolves.
    • Riddle on the tree “Someone has stabbed an old dagger in the trunk of this old, gnarled tree. Beside it lies a rough carving of a figure atop a horse, just above two sets of rough-hewn words:
      “THE HORSEMAN RIDES.””THE SEER SPOKE TRUE.””
  • After fending off the wolves, they made it to the village only to find it has been under siege for days, and nightly a horde of the undead attack the village.
    • They met Ismark Kolyanovicha a town leader, and principle in fighting off the nightly horde. He convinced the town not to flee the village, and some of the town have taken to calling him Ismarl the lesser as it has not gone so well.
    • Bildrath Cantemir was encountered at a small tavern. He is very outspoken about his blaming Ismark for the current state of affairs in the village.
    • Months ago, a group of villagers and adventurers attempted to attack the castle. They were never seen again. As punishment, the village has been attacked nightly.
    • Mary was also encountered at the tavern, and her daughter Gertruda made her way in the night to the castle that looms over the village….maybe.
  • Ismark invited the heroes to see Burgomaster Kolyan Indirovich where they encountered a mob of villages led by Alenka Konstantinova who wants to sacrifice a woman who is standing outside the manor with the Burgomaster to the lord of the castle to appease his anger.
  • Our heroes talked the angry mob down for now, and they made off into the streets.
