[QUOTE="Grogg of the North, post: 8024713, member: 6682960"] [USER=6702445]@jayoungr[/USER] we did go to the Amber temple with Kasimir (Earless the Elf). I remember we touched a few of the pillars and they all asked us if we wanted their gifts but we couldn't pump them for any information. The only deal that was made was when the warlock got a pair of hell hounds and the only draw back was that she was stinky if she spoke infernal. If those were supposed to be the Dark Powers, I am very disappointed. The DM told us he was surprised that we survived the Amber Temple since we went at a lower level than we were supposed to(?). Kasamir made his deal in the Amber Temple and immediately bailed on us. "Curse your sudden but inevitable betrayal" was said by pretty much all the players. Then Rahadin showed up with some mountain folk(?) to curb stomp us and kidnapped Ezmerelda. Strahd did show up a few times in my experience. He'd smack us around, just like a bully [USER=19270]@toucanbuzz[/USER], then he would toss a off a one liner and disappear. I personally found this annoying because if a villain is so out of my league, I feel that the moment I become remotely threatening he should show up to end me. But that doesn't make for a good game. I do recall that at first we were trying to keep our movements secret but as the campaign progressed and it didn't appear that Strahd really cared how many times we poked him in the eye, we just stopped caring about stealth. I am definitely getting the impression that my expectations and the module did not line up. Bummer. :( [/QUOTE]
