The Guards, with better arms and numbers, easily defeat the remaining Cultists of the Frog Demon Bobugbubilz (bo-BUG-boo-bills). Four Guards lose their lives.LETTER FROM STRAHDRahidan tells the adventurers that Strahd will be insulted if they ignore his invitation. (player's handout)Dearest Heroic Adventurers,To the new members, welcome to Barovia. I’m sure your cohorts have informed you of your current predicament. I would just like to reiterate our agreement of nonviolence. This pact extends to new members as well.I applaud your efforts in Vallaki. Lady Wachter did not stand a chance; then again, few unarmed women stand a chance against an arrow to the back of the head.I must say that you have a far more subtle hand than the previous bunch. There’s a fine line between boldness and foolishness, and those fools crossed way over it. My condolences, Smugly and Moss, on your losses.The reason I am writing to you is to extend an invitation to dinner and to spend an evening in my home, Castle Ravenloft. My servant, Chef Cyrus Belview, will be happy to accompany you after dinner to explore the castle, if you so desire.I am prepared to welcome you anytime in the next 3 days.Strahd</blockquote>
