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?

• Tim and Fecus each receive 150 XP
