[QUOTE="pukunui, post: 7031362, member: 54629"] Mmm. It's much easier for the PCs to take control too. No one in Vallaki is powerful enough to stop them. Lady Wachter's a bit of a pushover. I suppose if *all* her cultists ganged up on the PCs at once, complete with a mob of commoners backing them up, the PCs might have some trouble. Still, if the PCs took control of Vallaki, it would also give Strahd more freedom to have his way in the town. The baron is a useful tool and Lady Wachter is a loyal stooge. Without either of them in charge, Strahd hasn't got any incentive to not turn Vallaki into another Barovia Village. He can terrorize the townsfolk to his heart's content, and the PCs will most likely be unable to stop him. In fact, it might even turn the townsfolk against the PCs. ("Go away so Strahd will stop harassing us!") I suppose, although wouldn't having them miss the feast also teach them to pay attention to their dreams? [/QUOTE]
