Your company has just finished performing some mercenary work for Rance, Baron of Troilus, chasing off some Carthi raiders from the Eastern Reaches that had been pillaging his modest lands. In truth, the task was not worthy of a party of skilled adventurer such as yourselves, but the pay was good. Taking your leave of Troilus, you have been following the Sevres River southwest through the Sundered Lands of Coris, back toward Ricynd Bay and the port city of Marmion. Several days of cool, wet weather has slowed your progress along the muddy road, and as the sun sets you find yourselves still some distance from the next town, a place called Dunfield, on the borders of the County of Barovia.

It is going to be a dark night. The sky is overcast, and a constant drizzling rain falls. You can hear the river rushing by somewhere off to your right, though it is blocked from view by thickly grown trees and undergrowth. The clinging mud sucks at your boots as you press on. A flash of lightning lights the sky, and you notice a lone traveller in the distance ahead of you. He is moving slowly along the road, in the same direction as your company; likely trying to reach Dunfield and find some shelter from the damp.
