So, you found the courage to return to Borovia and begin the real story of Curs of Sturdania,

a Legends of Adventist podcast.

Last time, five lost souls joined together in a doomed expedition.

Their journey led them through the mist and into the dark domains of dread and death,

leaving the world of Aventrys behind. Now our protagonists stand on the edge of Barovia Village, staring up at the rickety

old building that locals call the death house. And more alarmingly, two small children

warn of a monster waiting inside. Let us see if they can survive the horrors lurking within.

As always, the audio quality reflects our humble beginnings, but does improve over time.

With that out of the way, let us venture into Chapter 1, death house.

Through thicket of trees and brush, you find yourself walking up to a strange roadhouse, flanked on either side by dilapidated houses covered in boarding.

This house is quiet and eerie. And as you look up at the rotting moss-covered porch,

you hear the whimpering of childlike voices.

Stepping out of the shadow of the Portico entrance to this house, you see a small girl, no more than maybe 10.

Dark hair, purple embroidered dress goes down to better knees, black stockings, laced up black

boots, her hair and a strange updo, the likes of which none of you have ever seen.

And clutching, shivering against her hands and even smaller child, a little boy in a purple cloak, a cloth doll held firmly in one of his arms, a single button on his face to represent the eyes, the other one having fallen off, in a lopsided grin, you can tell this doll is well loved,

as he shivers and whimper, she holds him a little bit closer,

and she looks out at all of you, and she says,

there is a monster in our house.

I'll call up to them.

Do you live in this house here? Yes, Do you live in this house?

Here.
