MAIN QUEST: Escorting Ireena pt. 1: Burying A Father
The Quest Begins:
Option 1:- The letter given to you by Arrigal appears to be a fake! The real letter was found on a dead man along the Old Svalich Road covered in blood. He has been dead for a couple of days now. Perhaps someone in town knows who he is and what this letter means?
- You Meet Ismark Kolyanovich at the Blood On The Vine Tavern. He discloses his father is dead and Ireena Kolyana (his sister) has been bitten 2 times by a vampire.
Ismark:
- Ismark Kolyanovich can be found at the Blue Water Inn. He asks that you take his sister to a safe place away from Strahd(person:603e4bfe-7064-49a6-ac0f-3291961b95f1) , wherever that might be. Try going to the [Town of Vallaki. It is a fortified town that houses the holy, consecrated St. Andral's Church and should allow her to be safe from @[Strahd. He shouldn't be able to touch her there.
- Ireena Kolyana refuses to leave without burying her father at Barovia Church's cemetery. Go speak to Father Donavich and request to use the cemetery.
- When the characters bring Kolyan Indirovich’s body to the church, Donavich presses the characters into helping him bury the burgomaster in the cemetery (area E6) at dawn.
FUNERAL PROCESSION -ENCOUNTER-
Post Fight:
- Once Kolyan is put in the ground, Donavich suggests that Ireena be taken as far from Castle Ravenloft as possible. He proposes that the characters take her to the Abbey of Saint Markovia in Krezk (chapter 8) or, failing that, the fortified town of Vallaki (chapter 5). Donavich is unaware that the abbey, once a bastion of good, has become a den of evil.
- Rahadin appears and hands Ireena Kolyana Strahd's Condolence Letter. He also mentions that he is grateful that the party defended Ireena from the monsters at the cemetery. It appears a necromancer attacked them and will be hunted down under Strahd Von Zarovich's immediate orders. They will bring the bastard to justice.
