Session 181- A Return to Barovia Part 31, “Dreams in the Wow Cottage”
”The Spirit of Kevin Shinn AKA Kenijy”
6/7/2025
I, the DM, narrate a dream sequence for Shelby, Gugula, Tim,
and Fecus. I ask for a few reactions or small details
for the players to add to the dream, then I ask them for their
reaction when they wake up from the dream. The players’
reaction will be in purple text.
Shelby finds herself in the Chapel of Castle Ravenloft presiding
over a marriage ceremony of Strahd and Ireena. Shelby is
wearing her ceremonial Cleric of Tiamat robes in the colors purple,
white, red, and brown. When Shelby pronounces “You may kiss
the bride”, Strahd lifts Ireena’s veil and instead of kissing her he
sinks his fangs into Ireena’s neck and induces vampirism upon her.
Shelby wakes up, says a prayer, gets a glass of water, and goes
back to bed.
Gugula also finds herself in the Chapel of Castle Ravenloft. She
is shocked to find herself not in armor, but instead wearing a
wedding dress. She feels quite naked. When the priest presiding
over the ceremony says “You may kiss the bride”, Gugula is
horrified to realize the groom is Strahd. He leans in to kiss her.
Gugula wakes up, yells “fuck”, and puts her armor on before going
back to sleep.
Tim has been asked to be a wedding guest at Castle Ravenloft.
When he arrives, he discovers that the ceremony is instead a double
funeral. He walks up to the coffins and opens the first one which
contains a dead Ireena. She is dressed in a wedding gown. The
second coffin bursts open… it’s Strahd! Tim wakes up, yells “ah fuck”,
chugs some wine, then goes back to sleep.
Fecus is a guest at Strahd and Vasilka’s wedding. When the priest
says the part of the ceremony “Speak now or forever hold your peace”
Fecus wants to speak up, but cannot. His throat feels blocked and he
feels his pants get warm. When the ceremony is over, Strahd and
Vasilka begin murdering the guests. Fecus wakes up, discovers he
peed himself, cleans himself up, and hides the bedding before going
back to sleep.
The party has breakfast at the winery then begins traveling towards
Castle Ravenloft.
On the way there, Ezmerelda tells Tim that she can lead his party out
of Barovia because all of the Vistani have the ability to travel out of
the land. Tim asks her if that could possibly include Strahd, if they
are able to capture him. Ezmerelda is unsure of that, but is willing
to try.
They arrive in Vallaki and are greeted at the Sunset Gate by guards
that recognize them.
Tim, Fecus, Shelby, and Gugula go to Targalov’s Smithy, run by Hans
and Ruxandra Targalov. The commission silver manacles (1000 GP),
silver bullets (bag of 100 for 20 GP), and 2 gold-plated silver wedding
bands (500 GP). The work will take 4 days.
Tim, Victor, Shelby, and Ezmerelda intend to make scrolls in their
downtime.
Fecus goes sneaking around town and picks up the following rumors:
Lady Wachter’s book club is actually a diabolical cult.
Kasimir Velikov has an odd relationship to Strahd.
Shelby and Tira have tea and discuss religious matters in the office of
Father Petrovich at St. Andral’s Church.
Gugula trains with her silver short sword at the stockyard. Semyon
and Fritigern join her for training.
The Abbot and Vasilka spend the time drinking at the Blue Water Inn.
6/15/25 Perchance Prompt Shelby finds herself in the Chapel of Castle Ravenloft presiding
over a marriage ceremony of Strahd and Ireena. Shelby is
wearing her ceremonial Cleric of Tiamat robes in the colors purple,
white, red, and brown. When Shelby pronounces “You may kiss
the bride”, Strahd lifts Ireena’s veil and instead of kissing her he
sinks his fangs into Ireena’s neck and induces vampirism upon her.
