Who stole the Champagne Crystal??? |
Session 168- A Return to Barovia Part 18
2/23/2025
Rams begin exploring the winery at the loading dock next to the
stables.
They discover a wagon loaded with 3 barrels of Purple Grapemash
No 3.
Before Anna K and her guards leave, Rams give her the wagon
and the 3 barrels to take back to Krezk.
They are met by the Wereraven Muriel in the Fermentation Vatroom.
She is in raven form with a swarm of ravens and Tim uses
Speak with Animals to begin a conversation with the ravens.
Muriel tells them some back story about the winery’s creation by
a powerful Wizard who placed 3 magical crystals in the earth of the
vineyard.
About a decade ago, a crystal was stolen while Urwin was supposed
to be on watch. His father Davian blames him for the loss of the
crystal and the vineyard inability to grow the Champagne grapes for
the Champagne Du Stomp variety.
Roughly 3 weeks ago, Baba Lysaga sent scarecrow constructs to
steal the 2nd crystal.
Baba Lysaga Stole This Crystal. About a week ago, the Druids of Yester Hill stole the 3rd crystal.
Yester Hill Druids Stole This Crystal.
Baba Lysaga doesn’t command the Druids, but she is trying to
manipulate them into completely driving the Martikovs away.
Muriel tells Rams there is another Druid remaining on the property
since they fought the other 3.
Rams go in search of Druid #4 and find him on the second floor of
the winery in the Loading Winch Room.
The Druid wins initiative, but rolls a 1 on his attack. He falls on the
Gulthias Staff and releases a charge, goes instantly mad, and
escapes through a secret door.
Tim carefully grabs the Gulthias Staff without making skin contact
because he’s worried it’s a cursed item.
Rams go through another door to circle around him in the hallway
of the second floor.
They find him in the master bedroom and Tim casts Sleep on him,
knocking him out. Szoldar carries the Druid around while Rams finish
exploring the Winery.
In the cellar they discover 3 more barrels of Purple Grapemash that
they roll up to the loading dock. They take the single remaining bottle
of Champagne and a bottle of the Red Dragon Crush.
Muriel warns Rams the Baba Lysaga and the Druids aren’t done with
the winery.
Rams are thinking the next step is to go do some research at the
Castle Ravenloft library.
Muriel flies off to the Village of Berez, where she is normally spying
on the Baba Lysaga. Tim Polymorphs into a Raven to fly with her
for a short bit, is Tim smitten with a Wereraven?
