• 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.

  to Castle Ravenloft.

• They are greeted by Ireena Kolyana and she catches the party 

  up on what has been going on in Barovia since Rams killed 

  Strahd a year ago.

  family friend in the Bluewater Inn located in Vallaki.

  fears they will come against her as revenge for Strahd’s death.  

  Other noble families might also rise against Ireena.  So many 

  enemies!

• Tim, Fecus, and Shelby mention their strange dreams of the doll 

  and a cloaked figure and the dream of Rahadin climbing a frozen 

  mountain road.  Ireena wonders if Rahadin has fled to the 

  Amber Temple on Mount Ghakis.

• Ireena provides the team with horses and they travel to Vallaki.

• Although Vallaki’s guards are suspicious, the party enters the town 

  and receives directions to the Bluewater Inn from them.

• Rams go to some effort to hide their affiliations with Ireena, and 

  decide on a cover story as hunters.

• They arrive at the Bluewater and order a round of cheap wine for the 

  house and the good stuff for themselves along with Vallaki’s noted 

  fish chowder pasties.

• Fecus starts wandering around the Inn’s taproom then excuses 

  himself to poke around outside by the outhouses and exterior stairs.  

  He’s looking for another Ireena doll or a related clue.  With his X-Ray 

  ring he sees a secret staircase in the Bluewater from the 1st floor to 

  the 2nd floor.

• Back inside, Rams join the wolf hunters Szoldar and Yevgeni to ask 

  about local landmarks and hunting.

  good place to buy toys for the party’s nieces and nephews.  She tells
