River Ivlis Crossroads

Check for a random encounter whenever the characters reach area F, unless they are accompanied by Vistani. The northwest fork leads down to the river and area G. The road southwest leads to area H. The east road leads to an arching stone bridge and continues on to the village of Barovia (area E). If the characters are traveling with Vistani, the Vistani lead them along the northwest road to the Vistani encampment. The gallows stand atop a rotting platform 5 feet high, with wooden stairs leading up to it. Eleven graves are here with blank gravestones. The forgotten people buried here were hanged from the gallows. Characters who dig up the graves find rotted coffins containing moldy bones.

The Hanged One

One random character sees him- or herself hanging from the gallows. The corpse looks and smells real, and it rapidly melts away into nothing if touched or moved.
