[QUOTE="Ogre Mage, post: 8378460, member: 3404"] This session was fun! A good mix of roleplaying and action. As we hiked through the forest to the Wizard of the Wines, we came upon a caravan of Vistani including Madam Eva. They invited us into their caravan for a meal. I rolled a natural 20 on my insight check and sensed no ill intent, so we joined them. The interior of the wagon was unnaturally large and luxurious, as if it were under the effect of [I]magnificent mansion [/I]spell. Madam Eva said it was fated for us to visit Barovia and read our fortune. She said a lonely mill on a precipice, a con artist in a carnival wagon, a treasure beyond amber doors, a raven in the vines and a father's tomb all had a role to play in our future. She said Count Strahd was once a hero who freed the people of these lands but as ruler some say he had grown evil. We asked why he would have brought us here and she said she did not know. But she knew he was looking for a successor. We finished an excellent meal and departed. We arrived at the Wizard of the Wines. Davian Martikov told us that their winery had been overtaken by evil druids and their minions. He eyed the two druids in our group suspiciously. We assured him all of us were from outside Barovia and said we would help the Martikovs. Thodak, our dwarf rune knight had a crazy plan to bang on the front door asking the druids to share their wine while the rest of us snuck in. But twig blights rose out of the vineyard and began attacking! Thodak broke down the front door only to be entangled by the evil druid on the other side. Twig blights began grappling Thodak. The rest of us fended off the twig blights in the field as we backed toward the winery entrance. Kinoka cleared out many twig blights with a [I]flaming sphere[/I]. Kandle, our grave cleric of Kelemvor, struck the druid blocking the entry with a [I]guiding bolt[/I], killing him instantly. The session ended with us scurrying toward the winery door, trying to stay ahead of the twig blights. [/QUOTE]
