[QUOTE="pukunui, post: 7040820, member: 54629"] So, in thinking more about tonight's session, it has occurred to me that Strahd can't actually help the PCs fight the revenants because he can't enter Argynvostholt without an invitation, and he's certainly not going to get one from Vladimir or any of his knights. He could potentially ask the PCs to invite him in, but the last time he tried that, the PC in question demurred, saying that it wasn't his house and thus didn't have the authority to invite him in (as this PC was charmed, Strahd just asked him to come outside instead ...). What I'm thinking he might do is smash open one of the windows and then ask to be let in. If no one lets him in, then he'll just hover outside, shooting fireballs in at the revenants. (I'm going to give him the evoker's ability to sculpt his spells, too, so he can leave the PCs out of the fireballs as a way of showing them that he's on their side ...) Assuming the PCs survive, I'll have Ezmerelda show up shortly after. The players want to go all the way back to Madam Eva to get her to do another card reading so they can find out where the sword is now, and I thought it would be easier just to have Ezmerelda do it, and then they don't have to bypass all the stuff going on in Vallaki and that. If it looks like a TPK even with Strahd's help, I might have Ezmerelda bust in to save the day too. [/QUOTE]
