  Leaving Tracks
  • Left a message by the destroyed caravan for Riak about their general direction and maybe some hope for their own cart/wagon?
  • A much needed SHORT REST

(4:00 PM - 6 miles/ 2 hours traveled)

  The Western Gates
  • Winding their way through the crevasses of the Ravenloft Moors the party comes across eerily similar gates barring their path forward
  • The very same design as the gates that led into this accursed land.
  • The statues here still possess their heads and the same automatic opening and shutting take place.

The Lupine Monument
  • The party encounters a life size wolf statue off the side of the road
  • A small offering indentation is recognized by Ozan on the pedestal
  • Party leaves herbs, a Blinsky doll, some salted jerky, and 1 GP…Vince takes a selfie.
  • Ireena explains she isn’t overly familiar with the history of these but she has heard of them and believes them to be of some gods long forgotten.

(10:00 PM - 14 miles/6 hours traveled)


SHORT REST REQUIRED TO PREVENT EXHAUSTION!!!


(New Count - 6 miles/2 hours traveled)

The Old Windmill
  • The party and Rumex are reminded of the Charlatan and the Shepard tarokka cards.
  • Helena, scouts ahead…sees an uptick in snakes, rats in the tall grass. Finds a rudimentary doll made from sticks
  • A crow squawks warnings from atop the door on approach
  • Rumex speaks with animals and hears the crow say “Danger” before flying away.
Bella’s encounter
  • Homey vibe even if a little rundown inside
  • She is nice, sold the party pies
  • Granny is coming home soon, please don’t go upstairs, the cat does anyway.
  • Sister Offalia working cleaning up hastily stuffing items into sacks on the second floor where the millstone is located.
  • Helen makes her way up to the third floor which is decidedly dirtier, with clothes and shoes discarded about.
  • A young girl is locked in a small cage crying.
  • Vince messages the rest and everyone springs into action
  • The old woman on the second floor was stuffing children’s bones into sacks as half the party charged up.
  • She cackled as she turned into a hideous scab and dirt covered purplish fiend.
