Bluewater Inn's Raven Loft

 

 


Session 151- A Return to Barovia Part 2

11/3/2024

  • Rumors Rams learn while buying drinks for folks at the Bluewater Inn:

    • Gugula speaks to the son of Lady Fiona Wachter and learns 

      that the noblewoman hates Burgomaster Vallakovich.

    • Shelby speaks to Danika and learns less than a week ago that 

      Burgomaster Vallakovich held a festival called the Wolf’s Head 

      Jamboree.

    • Tim overhears the Martikov boys, Brom and Bray, talking about 

      the Mad Mage of Mount Baratok.  He offers them some candy 

      to learn more about what they know about the Mad Mage.

    • Fecus learns from the wolf hunters that the abandoned town to 

      the south, Berez, is supposedly inhabited by Hags and 

      Barovian Witches.

  • After pretending like they went to bed, Rams go in search of the 

    Secret Stairs.

  • While they explore the kitchen, Shelby finds the Secret Door to the 

    Secret Stairs.

  • They take the stairs to the 2nd floor and Fecus implements his X-ray 

    ring to see which rooms are occupied.

  • A guest room (Rictavio) to the south is occupied by a sleeping figure.

  • The Martikovs quarters appear to be unoccupied by the family at this 

    time.

  • Rams hear the Secret Door at the bottom of the stair; they slip out 

    onto the mezzanine and into the Martikov boys’ bedroom.

  • Fecus uses the X-ray ring to watch the figure move out of the secret 

    landing, to the mezzanine, and then into Danika and Urwin Martikov’s 

    bedroom.  In the Martikov’s bedroom, the figure disappears at the 

    west wall of the bedroom.

  • Rams examine the toys in Brom and Bray’s toybox.  The gypsy dolls 

    resemble the Ireena doll.

  • Rams focus on the guest room.  Shelby uses an ESP scroll to read 

    Rictavio (Van Richten) dreams.  She learns he became a monster 

    hunter when his family was killed by a vampire.  When he came to 

    Vallaki, he visited Blinsky the toymaker and gave his pet monkey 

    Piccolo to the lonely man.

  • Shelby casts Command on the sleeping Rictavio, causing him to soil 

    himself in his sleep.

  • Rams explore the adult Martikov’s bedroom.  They discover an 

    entrance to a loft containing hundreds of ravens.

  • Tims casts Speak with Animals to talk to the nearest raven.  Tim 

    learns the ravens know all animal types usually have a few 

    shapeshifters that go between the humanoid and animal worlds.  He 

    also learns the Wereravens don’t like Strahd and secretly work against 

    him when they need to do so. Tim bribes the raven with rations and 

    5 CP.

  • Rams quietly make their way back to their rooms and sleep the rest 

    of the night.
