The sound of combat reverberates through Strixhaven’s sacred temple. Debbie, hoping to hide in an illusion, casts Prestidigitation. Orestes snarls at the musician, “I’m not fooled! Come out so that I may kill you alone! You endanger your friends with this foolishness!” Orestes hurla a flame at Debbie, scorching her leg.

6/04/2025: Return to the City
The wagon creaks and groans as it rolls toward Vallaki’s gates. Where once the massive corpse of a saber-toothed cat had lain, the scorched remains of a soldier, his traumatized partner, reigns in hands, is lost in his own thoughts. Occasionally, he offers a fretful glance back at the fractured remains of the cargo box. In this cramped, remaking space quarters sitting as far as possible from the sheet covered body, Ireena, Rakthe, Krelldutt, Komzin, and Duster rest together,

5/27/2025: Argynvosholt (Tuesday Curse of Strahd Game Log)
The group overnight, recovering from the scrum with the cursed revenant. Their sleep is fragmented, their bodies and gear cold and wet. Shifty huddles deeper into his threadbare cloak, shivering because no fire could be kindled in the damp wood. Sitting shoulder to shoulder with him, dark circles rimming his eyes, is Ratrick, who sits staring into space with hollow eyes. The wet has seeped into their bones, making every movement a discomfort.

Deprimer heads to the Vallaki city square in the late afternoon. His rest, though uninterrupted, has left him nearly as weary as before.

The group continue to speed through the darkness, following a breeze that may mean a way out. Mr C and Five, who is riding on the rooster, get to a fork in the tunnel and head to the right. Mr C stops abruptly as he detects the whispering of a pair of topi, who hide behind the prone inert iron golem.
