But I've always thought that Ravenloft was his domain. Nothing happens in Ravenloft without his knowledge or consent. Of course, if players use an effective strategy you should just run with it. The players out-thought you and they deserve the victory. But at the same time, you have to think about the world at large. It is one thing to reward a clever strategy... but it is another when players are simply abusing a loophole or game element that unfairly stacks the deck in their favor.Would Strahd not find out that a bunch of PCs are running around HIS castle and HIS domain and resting and taking solace and succor at will without fear of repercussions?Maybe not to pull a gotcha under the PCs but maybe there is a reason Strahd wants a well rested group of PCs to confront him. Maybe he has a use for them or a proposition that would be compelling to the PCs (that should point them to helping eliminate a potentially mutual threat and at the same time wear down the party such that they are not at full strength should he need to fight them).</blockquote>
