| The Study in Castle Ravenloft |
Session 170- A Return to Barovia Part 20
3/9/2025
Rams trip from Vallaki to Castle Ravenloft is uneventful.
When they arrive at the castle, they can’t find Ireena. When they
find the cook, she tells them that Ireena went to the village of
Barovia for her brother Ismark’s engagement party.
Left to their own devices, they explore the books of Strahd’s study.
The following books contain bits and pieces of lore related to the
Winery or the Gems powering the Winery’s abundance.
Franz Alastroi’s History of Ravenloft. The winery was
founded by a wizard who placed the magical gems in the
soil of the vineyard that influence the grape production.
Red Cloak (Vistani poetry anthology similar to our 1001
Arabian Nights) they learn the red gem can create extremely
large and powerful illusions.
Falkon’s Guide to Fine Wines. The pink gem is responsible
for the Pink Champagne grapes, the red gem is responsible
for the Red Dragon grapes, the purple gem is responsible for
the Purple Crush.
Fecus asks Tim to help interrogate the Druid they captured at the
Winery. Tim uses ESP on him and gets an image in his mind of a
ritual using the purple gem to bring the nightmarish Wintersplinter to
life.
Tim and Fecus are worried that the Druids or Baba Lysaga might act
on the winery again. They leave Castle Ravenloft without staying the
night and ride straight through to the winery. Their hill person friend
Gorek leaves them at the Raven River Crossing where they first
encountered him.
The exhausted Rams reunite with their hirelings, rest for a bit, then
they leave for Yester HIll.
