If you have thoughts, feel free to share them!Edit: Some notes.In RAW Ravenloft, Banemaw is fiction. Elana will go destroy a village because of a perceived evil and then blame it on the nonexistent dragon. In this version, Banemaw is real, but exists as an “id-monster,” an unintentional extension of Elana’s own psyche and completely out of her control. Elana truly believes that she is Doing Good by destroying evil, and those beliefs constantly battle with her desire for bloodshed. When her need to destroy becomes overwhelming and she can find nothing she can safely smite, Banemaw manifests. She doesn’t realize that she created him, simply because she rationalizes all of her evil acts. As such, she can never defeat him. Even when she manages to catch up to Banemaw and engage in battle with him, something happens lets him escape before she can strike the final blow.I plan to use the Lurking Darkness table from the Age of Umbra campaign frame, although this will be rolled when the characters take rests in deeper woods.Powers checks will be done strictly with player buy in, should any players actually turn to the dark side. They’ll also be an option instead of a scar, representing the Dark Powers tempting dying PC into evil. I’ll make cards similar to the Transformation cards from the playtest packet to represent their slow descent into evil.For Prince Loht, I am modifying the sketch of him from Gaz. V. He is still recovering from being attacked by Gwydion, but the assault left him mad. He is actually subtly connected to Gwydion now. Gwydion is psychically influencing Loht to free him from his prison; Loht is torn between his own desire to become the true leader of the Ellefolk and the “intrusive thoughts” that keep whispering power and health should he free Gwydion.</blockquote>
