Session 189- A Return to Barovia Part 39
8/16/2025
Rams release Emil from his cell. Emil informs Team Rams of a little
guy who brought him food while he was imprisoned who came from
a different direction then they had come. His description of the little
fellow indicates he might be a Mongrelfolk like Clovin.
Team Rams go east from the prison cells and find a spiral staircase
that goes up. They follow it to the level above the dungeons, the
Larders of Ill Omen.
Semyon notices the trap in K61 and Team Ram avoids triggering it.
Entering the Servant’s Hall, K62, Tim and Fecus realize that they
were in this room at the eastern end the very first time they were
exploring Castle Ravenloft.
They decide to explore this level, searching for the mysterious
mongrelfolk fellow.
They move through the Ossuary (K67), Guard’s Run (K68), Guards’
Quarters (K69), Kingsmen Hall (K70), Kingsmen Quarters (K71), and
Butler’s Quarters (K66) without encountering anyone. They did find
some coins (150 EP) in K71.
In the Kitchen (K65) they encounter soup pot Zombies that they fight
and kill. After defeating the Zombies, Cyrus Belview arrives and acts
like everything is completely normal and asks Team Rams to help
him bring soup to the guests upstairs. Since he isn’t acting in an
aggressive manner, they let him dish up soup for them and the
additional bowls seem to indicate he is serving the Abbot’s group.
Team Rams follow him up the K21 staircase to the Guest Quarters in
K49 and K50. They learn that Cyrus and Clovin are cousins.
When Team Rams reunite with the Abbot’s group, the Abbot casts
Purify Food and Drink on the soup.
Cyrus says breakfast will be served in the Dining Hall (K10) at 8am
and leaves the Guest Quarters.
The Abbot tells Team Rams he can sit up and watch with Clovin
while the exhausted team gets some rest.
