Session 15

General Summary

The gang solves some mysteries and the priest ends his watch.

21st Day of Elient “The Fading”

Oh, So that’s who that was…

• Dalvan Olensky, Kolyan Indirovich’s attendant, was the corpse with the real letter warning others away from Barovia and labeling Ireena as adopted.

Memories, in the Corner of my Mind

• Ireena answers questions
• Conversation is in “downtime” section of discord, dated 12/8/22 to 12/9/22, for all the details...
• No evidence of Ireena’s adoption
• Drawing of a brute with an odd arm
• Doll from Blinsky’s
• Ismark thinks Donavich may know more

Vince’s Quest for ALL the Papers in Barovia

• Vince sends his familiar, Helena the skeletal cat, ahead to the church
• Vince, Verce and Rumex follow up leads at the church
• Ismark and others shoring up the house in the meantime in anticipation of renewed attacks 

It Tolls for Thee

• On approach, the trio hear one ominous tolling of the church bell
• Break in and find Donavich hanging from church-bell rope, neck snapped.
• I don't think you trust in my self-righteous suicide, I cry when angels deserve to die

Dragomir

• Confirmed dates and calendar of Barovia
•  He said Kolyan Indirovich found Ireena in the woods.

Truth be Laid Bare

• A record book of parishoners found
• Faerun (where you guys were a week ago):1491 DR
• Barovia (where you guys are now): 735 BC
• Ireena’s Birth Year: 714 BC (21 yrs ago)
• Ismark’s Birth Year: 713 BC (22 yrs ago)
• The script about Ireena seems different than the other entries, hurried somehow, a slightly different ink

Loose ends…Loose ends, Everywhere!

• The trio cut down Donavich and lay him on the altar
• Leave Doru in the undercroft
• Leave a gaping hole where the church door used to be
• …and return to Kolyan Manor
