Pickax.

Welcome friends to Highrollers presents The Curse of Strad, a Gothic horror adventure of Chills, thrills, and many blood spills.

I am your dungeon master Mark Hughes and the players joining me are as follows.

Chris Trot as Yesper the Vistani Bard,

Kim Richards as Shadows Beyond the Vale,

a Tabaxi cleric,

Katie Morrison as Rose Vanendii the human ranger,

Tom Hazel as Xeros Mistan the Dragonborn fighter,

and Wyanen Gawa Hasiki Mistan, the Dragonborn sorcerer. Oh, Last time on Kurser Strad, searching the grounds of Argen-Vostholt for a place to rest, a party decide to seek refuge in a large stone

mausoleum in the mansion cemetery.

Cautiously entering, they rest.

As night falls, a dreadful being appears inside before Ziki and Zeros.

Seemingly admiring Ziki's artwork,

Strad von Zarovich has come.

Seeking the tome, the party had discovered, and of course his fair

Irena, Strad attacks the party in a rage, charming Xeros in the process. A desperate battle ensues and Shadow delivers a powerful blow that seems

to harm Strad in greater ways than could be believed.

Yesper flees with Irena making her invisible and with no means to

find them strayed consumed by hate and rage focuses his cruelty on Shadow Beyond the Vale, killing her and flying away with

her body.

Now the party are left, injured, divided, and in the shadow of Argen-Vostholt.

And that, my dear friends, is where we begin today with the party.
