The Curse of Strahd

Chapter Two:  The Mists...and a Totally Not Haunted House   Cast of Characters Agnak Stonestalker Monekekali :  A seven foot Goliath and walking EEO complaint.  With an axe. Solomon Hawkins : The haunted human monster hunter.  He makes brooding an art.  Gilphine : The feral half elf.  She likes trees.  More than she likes you. Sheen :  The bongo wielding dwarven bard.  He likes everyone.  He really likes you. Despite all clear warnings to stay on the road, it takes our adventurers about five seconds to go "Ooooh!  Shiny!!!"  Shiny, in this case, being potential werewolf tracks.  Sheen, being apparently the only one with the sense his momma gave him, declares that he will wait on the road while the others explore.  He is quickly goaded into joining them in pursuing their certain doom.

Chapter One: Exposition and Heavy Handed Plot Hooks Cast of Characters Agnak Stonestalker Monekekali:  A seven foot Goliath and walking EEO complaint.  With an axe. Solomon Hawkins: The haunted human monster hunter.  He makes brooding an art.  Gilphine: The feral half elf.  She likes trees.  More than she likes you.

D M's Forward and Disclaimer I am not what one would call an experienced DM.  I much prefer making off color jokes and rolling dice until the monster is dead.  And looting corpses.  But Pandemics make strange bedfellows... or something... so here I am, running a 5e DnD campaign, the Curse of Strahd.  The world is supposed to be DnD's "Dark Gothic Horror" setting.  With our group, it will be more likely to resemble an Abbott and Costello movie.  I will most likely be partially to blame.  Because let's face it.  I only picked this campaign so I could do bad gypsy accents. Some of our adventure is straight from the campaign book.  Some I have stolen borrowed from other DMs.  Some I came up with all on my own.  If you have not played Curse of Strahd, there will be spoilers.  If you are trying to cheat on Curse of Strahd and are looking for a walkthrough, you will be disappointed.  This is our own stumble through the mists....
