You are back in the coffin maker's shop and listening to Kurs of Stradanya, a Legends of

Adventress podcast. Last time, the members of the expedition finally had the honor and pleasure of meeting me

after burning old bone grinder to the ground.

They then made their way to Volaki, where they hope and pray that the Church of St. Markovia

will protect Irina and the children from the evil of Barovia.

To ensure that the grounds around the church become hallowed once more,

they sought the thigh bone of St. Markovia,

which they found after a deadly encounter with vampire spawn in the shop of the coffin maker,

who they learned all too late serves me.

As always, the audio quality reflects our humble beginnings,

but does improve over time.

With that out of the way,

let us proceed with the first part of Chapter 4,

Fantasmogoria.

You find yourselves in the small room of the coffin maker's shop.

The room that you immediately left, the disappearing and decaying bodies of the vampire spawn strewn about as Clayton

begins to pull open the drawers of the dresser and in the hidden compartment the very bottom

as he pushes down the latch and it pops open feeling what's inside.

The black velvet bundle is almost staring at you as you reach your hands in and you can feel

the weight of it. The bones themselves older, almost, almost petrified.

And as you begin to open it, you see that in your hands it's not the full form of a skeleton,

but it is what remains of St. Andrew. This is it?
