Session 156- A Return to Barovia Part 7

12/22/2024

  • While Rams are standing in the Burgomaster’s Den, they hear the faint 

    sounds of what might be a women’s afternoon tea party across the 

    hallway from the den.

  • After a few minutes the Burgomaster Vargas Vallakovich arrives flanked 

    by his large mastiff dogs.

  • Vallakovich thanks Rams for their assistance to the Town Guard 

    defeating the vampires.

  • Tim casts ESP to determine Vallakovich’s motivations for the near 

    constant festivals.  He learned the following:

    • Vallakovich believes in the power of positivity to overcome evil.  

      The festivals are his sad attempt to cheer the village and keep 

      them safe.  His own happiness is a veneer.

    • He is out of his mind with worry about 2 of his household staff 

      vanishing, the butler and his wife’s lady in waiting.

    • Vallakovich is grateful that Izek Strazni is loyal to him, 

      because otherwise he would be terrified of him.

    • Vallakovich charged Izek with investigating the servants’ 

       disappearances, but investigation isn’t his forte.

  • Vallakovich invites Rams to be his and his wife’s personal guests at 

    the Festival of the Blazing Sun that will occur the following evening.

  • Rams learn a little more about Izek Strazni’s background and find out 

    he was orphaned after a dire wolf attacked him and his family.  

    Vallakovich eventually hired Izek to work as his bodyguard.

  • Rams leave the Burgomaster’s Mansion and visit Blinsky to see if Izek 

    has been back.  Blinsky hasn’t seen him much to his relief.  He has 

    completed the Aura the Owl doll.  He confirms some details on the 

    drawings he has made for the other dolls.

  • Rams visit the Wachterhaus.  Lady Fiona’s agent Ernst Larnak 

    entertains them while they wait for the Lady’s book club meeting to 

    conclude.

  • Tim casts ESP on Lady Fiona.  He learned the following:

    • Lady Fiona had a daughter named Stella who went crazy and 

      thinks she is a cat.

    • Stella used to be married to the Burgomaster’s son 

      Victor Vallakovich.  Lady Fiona thinks he drove Stella crazy.

    • Lady Fiona doesn’t accept that Strahd is completely dead and 

      gone.  He has always returned.

    • She doesn’t attend Vallakovich’s festivals.  She thinks he is a 

      fool.

  • Rams return to the Blue Water Inn to a party being thrown in their 

    honor for being so instrumental in stemming the Vampire attack’s 

    rampage before many civilians were involved.  Rams note that no one 

    from Vallakovich’s household is in attendance. Neither is Lady Fiona, 

    but her sons are there.

  • Urwin Martikov pulls Tim and Fecus into the kitchen to ask for their 

    assistance with his wine supply problem.  They agree to look into it 

    before returning to the party and meeting a strange Vistani woman.

  • Rams try to give Captain Groza the Bones of St Andral and the coins 

    (they were concerned regarding the coins being minted with Strahd’s

    leave the Coffin Maker’s.
