The Feast of St. Andral
Date: 26 Moonshroud 907
Location: Vallaki
Objective:
To defend the church of St. Andral and its sacred bones from desecration by Strahd's minions, and to buy enough time for the recovery of the stolen bones.
Summary:
On the night of 24 Moonshroud, 907 the town of Vallaki faced a dire threat as Strahd von Zarovich, the ancient vampire lord, orchestrated an attack on the church of St. Andral. I, Captain Jornsson, along with my loyal squad of guards, stood firm at the church's entrance, determined to hold the line against the vampire spawn and protect the sacred bones of St. Andral.
Our efforts were bolstered by valiant adventurers who were previously unknown to us. Ambrosia "Amba" de Tylmarande , Godfrey Younghall , and Burgomaster Ireena Kolynana , fought alongside us, their courage and skill shining through the chaos of battle.
As the relentless onslaught of Strahd's minions pressed against us, we held steadfast, fighting tooth and nail to prevent their advance into the sacred space. Jornsson's squad, strengthened by the presence of Godfrey, fought with unmatched determination, delivering blow after blow to the vampire spawn and keeping them at bay.
In the midst of the fierce conflict, our hopes were pinned on the swift return of Abe, newfound ally, who had embarked on a perilous mission to recover the stolen bones of St. Andral. His success in this crucial task would reconsecrate the church and ward off the encroaching darkness that threatened to engulf Vallaki.
Despite the overwhelming odds, our determination remained unyielding. We fought with a shared purpose, understanding that the fate of Vallaki hung in the balance. The combined efforts of the adventurers and the city guards ensured that the line held long enough for Abe to return the stolen bones to their rightful place.
The hour seemed lost when Lord Strahd von Zarovich appeared in person, killing my men indiscriminately and threatening to enter the churches holy ground.
Thankfully, with the bones restored, the sacred aura of St. Andral's church emanated once again, ending all vampire activity. The despair that had gripped the town began to dissipate, replaced by a renewed sense of hope and resilience. However, the appearence of Lord Strahd himself does not bode well for this city and I have the sad duty of reporting the death of many good people to their kin.
As Captain of the City Guard, I extend my heartfelt gratitude to the adventurers who stood by our side in this perilous hour. Their bravery and selflessness were instrumental in the success of our defense. In recognition of their invaluable contributions, I have deputized Godfrey and granted him permission to investigate the deeper mysteries that shroud Vallaki, trusting in his dedication to uncover the truth and protect our town from further harm.
May this report serve as a testament to the unwavering resolve and camaraderie that binds us in the face of darkness. We shall remain vigilant, knowing that the road ahead is fraught with danger, but fortified by our shared purpose and the indomitable spirit of Vallaki.
