[QUOTE="hastur_nz, post: 7106611, member: 40592"] That's not a choice, you are proposing that the PC's get forced to visit the Castle, which for many players could lead to immediate resentment, especially as the precedent has been set that they can, to a degree, choose their own path. The answer of 'what do the Vistani do' is already set, IIRC... the PC's and Vistani have had one or more run-ins already? I can't remember, but likely the Vistani don't feel up to the job of personally capturing the PC's and taking them to Strahd - most likely, at best a number of Vistani will die, most likely all of them will because the PC's will fight tooth and nail to avoid capture. Madame Eve won't help them either. By all means, have a group of Strahd's "Creatures of the Night(TM)" ambush them, say right after the PC has had a good nightmare courtesy of Morgantha. They may or not make the connection(s), but it doesn't really matter; once you are giving that PC a nightmare haunting every night, the clock is slowly ticking, maybe helping force them to the end-game. No doubt, Madame Eva and the Vistani will watch from a safe distance, and it should be obvious that they not being targeted and they are not going to help (or hinder) the PC's - they are Neutral, in this regard, even though technically they serve Strahd in their own ways.
