| Tim As Black Dragon Vs. Scarecrows |
Session 172- A Return to Barovia Part 22
3/23/2025
Rams collect themselves after defeating the Druids and their
followers; noises to the south of the inner stone circle concern
them.
Peering to the south, they see a sickly copse surrounding a
large, misshapen tree oozing blood like sap from its trunk.
Needle Blights are visibly moving towards the party and further
focus reveals vine and twig blights as well.
From the north a fresh group of 3 Druids returning from the woods,
expecting to see the conclusion of the Fallpall ritual, arrive having
found their retreating followers affected by Shelby’s Potion
of Human Control and dispeling the Potion’s effects.
Rams must choose to either fight their way out to the South
(Blights and the Gulthias Tree) or the North (3 Druids and
4 Berserkers).
Rams make the choice to fight the Druids and their remaining
followers. They kill the Druids and followers as the Blights make
their way towards the party.
As they turn off the road onto the driveway of the Winery, they
hear a raven cawing desperately nearby, loud crashing in the
woods, and the raven cawing turns to a woman’s terrified shrieks.
So close to rest, with the smell of a fresh farmhouse dinner
wafting on the breeze, Rams go to the edge of the woods to
investigate. They discover 4 Scarecrows surrounding a nude
and badly injured Muriel Vinshaw.
Tim immediately Polymorphs into a Black Dragon and rushes to
attack the Scarecrows. The rest of Rams jump into the fray, saving
Muriel who had been on her way to warn the Winery of the impending
Scarecrow attack.
Victor gives Muriel his cloak. Shelby heals Muriel.
After the fight during dinner at the Winery, Muriel tells Rams of the
increased activity near Baba Lysaga’s Hut in Berez. The hut is
emitting a strong red glow and can walk around on its rootlike “legs”.
During the last watch, the only uninjured new hireling, Seraz, spots
1 Druid and 4 Twig Blights sneaking around the yard of the Winery.
He wakes the party up, and they go kill that Druid and his Blights.
Rams’ Magic-users (Tim, Victor, and Seraz) spend the day
back-engineering the Wintersplinter/Fallpall ritual.
Fecus and Shelby direct the assembly of an effigy of Tiamat, similar
to the Druids’ effigy of Strahd, using wood debris, mud, and body parts
of Druids.
Shelby sets the intention to invade the Baba Lysaga’s dreamspace
using the Purple Gem to focus her Oneiromachy.
