Ismark knows that Dareios' supposition is essentially correct. The Burgomaster, Kolyan, was sherrif, mayor, and rent collector for Count Strahd von Zarovich. The Burgomaster was the only village official. Normally Count Strahd von Zarovich would appoint a new Burgomaster after the previous...

I think if you look earlier in this thread, people are allowed to specifiy whether their weapons shed light on their NPC sheet. Since Ismark did not specify, his sword does not shed light. Some of the party members (like Alessandra) do have glowing weapons. Skorl's new +2 greatsword (formerly...

The rough hewn tunnel is about six feet in diameter. A terrible stench emanates from somewhere deeper. Bits of graveyard remains including parts of bones and scraps of clothing are partly embedded in the walls. A winding tunnel goes forty or so feet before it curves out of Skorl's sight.

Ireena responds to Ismark's questions that she knows nothing regarding the Count's book. Ismark, Skorl, and the others remove only a foot of dirt from the grave before they discover a hole in the ground. A hole, that drops down six feet to a tunnel beneath the earth.

When Ismark and Ireena were shown the letter the party brought with them into Barovia, Ismark responded that the handwriting was not his father's handwriting and that his father would not have given the letter to a vistani. Ismark reiterated that his father did not show him the letter he sent...

It is a day full of funerals, for burgomasters and commoners alike. Stone slabs, mostly simple square markers in the earth, dot the manicured grass that grows at the foot of the great crag. Castle Ravenloft looms above the cemetary, its shadow blotting out the sun. Allesandra has never...

Depends on what you mean by sleep.

yes, fixed it to ten days.

Ireena says in response to Dareios' questions,"The doors and walls of my father's house are quite strong. Although I heard noises in the night, I did not answer the door. So I was quite safe inside."

Without further incident, the party arrives at the Burgomaster's house on the outskirts of the village of Barovia, the largest house in the village (only the castle on the cliffs above is larger). An aged and dilapidated mansion squats behind a rusting iron fence, but the gates have been...

tons of maps in the Menzoberanzan boxed set. I highly recommend it. Although I'm not sure how close they fit your description.

I use an even simpler variant of the above experience system. Everyone in the party goes up a level or nobody goes up a level after the game session is over. Works great. footnote: I'm not sure someone who helped create Living Greyhawks's cert system has standing to complain about D&D math.

I actually considered that before making my post. Unfortunately for you, Danovich chose Heroes of Horror as his special pick.

Jack grits his teeth and forces his way through the rest of the journal. The evil within Danovich's words causes Jack to neglect everything going around him as he reads the book. Danovich describes his decision to end his nighly prayer sessions to protect the village from the great curse and...

Although I bought the Paizo adventure paths, I personally like a somewhat smaller story length. Red Hand of Doom is perfect for me. Six levels (6-12), not twenty (1-20+).

A long day is capped by an even longer night. Yet dawn does come. A bright sunny day, almost too bright, greets the party. The villagers return to their homes. The bodies of the slain (and there are many bodies) are taken to the graveyard near the burned out chuch.

Spoilers I wasn't sure, but ... The temple is intelligent and can open archways in the stone (see U1). So i just have the temple open archways when Irae or someone else wants to go to U29.

The innkeeper responds to Allesandra, "If the world is indeed not coming to an end, people will go home after dawn, and I'll have rooms available for rent tomorrow night. Tonight, all the rooms are taken, but there is some space sitting on a stair over there."

2008 2008 is my prediction for the next book.

Be an Archer. Then you can stand in the back of the party while others fight in melee.
