QUEST: Reconsecrating The Church

BEGINNING:

• The Bones of St. Andral have been stolen! Father Lucian Petrovich Until recently, the church was protected from Strahd's depredations by the bones of St. Andral, which were sealed in a crypt beneath the church's main altar. But now the church is at risk because someone broke into the crypt a few nights ago and stole the bones. Until recently, Father Lucian was the only person in the Town of Vallaki who knew about the bones, but he recalls mentioning them to the alter boy Yeska over a month ago to put the fearful boy at ease. After the bones were stolen, Father Lucian asked Yeska if he told anyone else about the bones. The boy nodded but wouldn't divulge a name.

UPDATE 1: Speak with Yeska

• A successful DC=15 Persuasion/Intimidation check will make Yeska sheepishly divulges that he told Milivoj about the bones and begs the PCs to not punish him. He can be found either at the Vallaki Orphanage or back in the Cemetery behind St. Andral's Church.

UPDATE 2: Finding Milivoj

• Milivoj is quick to tell the party off unless, they help him figure out what is going on at the Vallaki Orphanage. The children seem distressed and their caretaker is in critical condition.
• Quest Begins:
  QUEST: Orphanage From Hell

UPDATE 3: Helping Milivoj

• Milivoj said he sold the bones to the Coffin Maker Henrik van der Voort to help the Orphanage. His shop is located next to the town square.

UPDATE 4: Coffin Maker Henrik

• Every window of Henrik’s shop is a latticework of iron fitted with squares of frosted glass and locked from the inside. The outside doors of the shop are barred shut from within. If the characters knock on one of them, Henrik shouts, “We’re closed! Go away!” without opening the door. 
• If the characters accuse Henrik of stealing the bones of St. Andral, he shouts again, “Go away! Leave me alone!”
• If the characters break into the store, Henrik offers no resistance. He retrieves the bones (in the upstairs bedroom wardrobe, area N6e).
• If the characters report the theft of the bones to the burgomaster, Baron Vallakovich dispatches four guards to arrest Henrik and retrieve the bones. 
• If the guards show up during daylight hours, Henrik surrenders himself and the bones without a fight, claiming that vampires forced him to steal the bones. 
• If the guards come at night, Henrik surrenders himself and tells the guards where the bones are hidden, but he won’t retrieve the bones himself for fear of being killed by the vampires.
