I'd like to do more locations of Barovia in this mock postage stamp style! Here's the abbey of St. Markovia and the church of St. Andral for a start.

‘Your fear smells delicious, darling.’
The Feast of St. Andral was truly a feast, after all. Quote taken directly from our game as my PC Ambrose slaughtered the Baron. (And Izek soon after)
Surely nothing bad will come of this !

We recently had a Curse of Strahd session! My beloved players finally reached Vallaki, after saving Vasili
Tumblr media
I love seeing how people draw this character! So here’s my version of this handsome man ❤️
In the city itself, they had already dealt with a small problem with the bones, went to the inn where they met Urwin and Rictavio aaaaaand annoyed Ireena
Soooooo that's a pretty good start in my opinion

“Lady Fiona Wachter, if you please.”
As our party enters Vallaki, the political situation becomes more fraught…

Izek and Victor Vallakovich, as they appeared in a good friends COS run - I was asked to play Victor as a guest star and made this illustration of him and Izek for the occasion. The DM gave them a lot more depth and a very interesting codependent (homoerotic) friendship, which was extremely fun to portray as the players.

IZEK STRAZNI
My two Izek's from two different games I run and plan to run. The first is from my current game... he's gone through stuff and a pretty big arc, he's joined the party in hopes of helping rescue his sister from Castle Ravenloft. (The party is currently level 12). If you have any questions about him I'd love to spill the deets however I can! The second is... in my opinion the perfect Izek, at least one that I have wanted to tackle for a while now. There is a theme and archetype I've been to try and apply to his character after running him once (twice actually but in one game I had to end abruptly) already and I am super stoked to see how my players find him in the rerun. Oh yeah, I guess I haven't mentioned it here but Hi! I am also a Curse of Strahd DM! Looking forward to sharing little bits from my current game and LOADS more from my Re-run. Current game: One Braided Fate Re-run: Torch Be Yours!

Atropa’s Vallaki outfit! Looking like a dapper guy so he could fit in with the upper class and spy on them~
We just finished up the Vallaki arch and things went to hell but I think we did okay despite the… mishap…
Now it’s time for domain jumping!

Vallaki was one hell of a town, and our party had a blast. Made a poster to commemorate the festivities. All will be well. 🌞🐺🗡️

Big session omg, we had to fight Izek and barely won! Mirre accepted another gift and can now summon two spicy puppys, hell hounds. He named them Grimm and Garm.
-After fighting the Nabassu, we headed to the church to drop of the body of Felix. After explaining what happened at the orphanage to Father Lucian, he sent us on the task to find St.Andrals bones which are needed to keep the church consecrated. we agreed and started on the hunt with things left at the scene. torn bits of a sweatshirt, a fishing hook, parts of a bag, a strand of hair, shovel marks inside the crypt. We needed to find these before the feast of st.andral on sunday because we assumed something bad was going to happen then.
-We went to long rest and Rhil and Jace got a bit frisky. While we slept, Jace was visited by Morgantha, the night hag and got to experience a night hag haunting. it sucked.
-the next morning after Rhil worked with Urwin in the kitchen to learn how to cook better and made breakfast. Mirre got a letter from someone named Ernast from Lady Fiona Wachter. I guess she was impressed that Mirre was able to talk down Vargas and wanted to have dinner with him and the group after sundown.
-After some shopping in town square and all of us being disgusted with the stocks. We went to the lake to ask Bluto, the fisherman about the hook and found him being attacked by drowned undead. we booked it onto the lake by boat and started the fight. Rhil, who has a bad fear of deep, open water, was the one to get pulled in and drug underwater.
-after we saved Rhil and finished the fight, a ghost navy ship pulled up and helped us. They asked for assistance with a monster thats been terrorizing the lake, saying that they couldnt rest until it was killed and we accepted. We fought a monster called the Gitrog plus its baby in its cave and came out victorious! We saved Bluto and brought him back to his shack on the lake. He thanked us as Rhil healed up his leg and we offered to come fishing with the man on a less busy day. cant wait for the fishing session with Bluto!
Mirre also found a flintlock pistol and a musket on the ship with a gunsmith kit and bullets. He actually did the finishing shot on the Gitrog momma with his pistol.
-After running to town center to sell our loot, we ran into Izek who immediately tried to pick a fight with Mirre and tied to interrogate him on why they went to the lake. Mirre explained the Gitrog fight and what happened, only to get thrown into the dirt and was searched by the guards.
This was terrifying to have happen since Mirre had his pistol on him and we arent supposed to have weapons inside vallaki, Rhil caused a small distraction and got grabbed by her throat and lifted off her feet by Izek, Jace nearly threw hands with him right then and there. Mirre nat 20'd his sleight of hand and hid his pistol. Izek spotting that Ireena was upset and terrified for us, dropped Rhil and quickly left.
Izek claimed to have stopped by Blutos and beat him near death to try and get information out of him before he left.
-We come back after some recovery and get changed into our fancier clothes and head to wachters where we have a very nice dinner and talk about the state of Vallaki. We offered to help dethrone Vargas and kill Izek who has been terrorizing and killing people in town.
We also caught Izek stalking Ireena, discovered his doll thing with Blinsky after some detect thoughts and he was harrassing the alchemist to make him a Philter of love. All bad signs for Ireena.
-We come back to the blue water inn after dinner to find the inn trashed after Izek ransacked the place while looking for Ireena and stole our armor. (Jace and Rhil's platemail and Mirre's breastplate) After helping clean up the inn we started working on our plans to kill Izek with a little bit of help from the Markitovs.
The plan was to lure him out to Bluto's shack to avoid damage and injuries in town. slip some poisoned wine into Izek's lunch and spread rumors that we were hiding away at bluto's and planned on leaving with Ireena that night.
-Mirre unsure if he would survive this fight with Izek, Left a lock box full of his monster hunter notes with Rictavio, Mirre had suspicions that Rictavio was Rudolph Van Richten after he made some subtle comments on his cane that Mirre was in possesion of and Rictavio recognized Dirrak's name. Rictavio was also rightfully pissed because Izek ransacked his room too.
-Hiding Ireena away at the Blue water in and after sneaking around and getting some fire resistant potions and spare armor and weapons from town center. Mirre went to sneak in the poisoned wines, accidentally scaring the shit out of Varga's chef and causing him to quit, Mirre met back up with Rhil and Jace at Blutos shack.
Urwin got the wolf hunters to escort Bluto to safety.
-When we arrived we found all of our confiscated armor and weapons with Blue and a bunch of other ravens sitting on the roof, Ready to help us out in the fight.
We also found a greater restoration scroll with the blood hunter symbol torn from one of the notes in Mirre's lock box that he gave to Rictavio. The restoration fixed Jace's reduced max health from the night hags nightmare hauntings.
-Izek and 6 guards showed up soon after we got our fire resistances and we started a fight with Mirre getting crit surprise longbow shot on him. Rhil, Jace, Blue and the ravens picked off the guards while Izek charged Mirre. Mirre got distance between them after luckily avoiding hits with his Curse of the eyeless and conjured a water elemental between them with a gem we found in the gitrog cave.
-we surprisingly downed Izek pretty quick, only for him to get back up super charged with a gift from Seriach, the hellhound whisperer and summoned two hell hounds to attack us. He flat out evaporated Mirre's water elemental infront of us.
-Blue and the ravens scattered in a panic and fled.
-Izek downed Jace with a crit pretty quick and was struggling to hit Rhil(Thank the platinum song for 23 ac) While Mirre flew up to the cliff to get some shots with his long bow.
A sabertooth tiger lept off the cliff where Mirre was and tore through one of the hell hounds while there were crossbow shots coming from the woods(I was fangirling so hard knowing it was Van Richen)
-Rhil eventually got taken out and it was just Mirre and Izek throwing shots at each other while the tiger was fighting the hell hounds. After two nat20's on death saves and repeatedly getting back up, Mirre tapped further into his gift and went into his form of dread, slowly whittling down Izek's health.
-Rhil tapped into her gift as well being brought back up and using her claws of darkness to finish Izek for good and ripped out his heart.
-after we rested a bit and the tiger took off into the woods. We found a amber shard similar to the once Rhil has and Mirre snatched it. Nat 1ing his wisdom save he got sucked into a commune with Seriach and accepted his gift of the hellhounds, Now having two gifts from two separate vestiges.
-we dropped off Izek's head at Wachterhaus and went back to blue water to check on Ireena and get some well deserved rest.
Mirres blood glows a bright radioactive green from his first unnamed vestige and his entire left arm is a dark blood red like Izek's from Seriach.
It was such an intense crazy fight and i'm surprised none of us died, I am getting a bit worried for Rhil and Mirre with how often they've been tapping into these gifts and getting slight mutations from them.
Now we can focus on getting the bones back to the church and put Fiona Wachter in charge.
