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 Hume's and the players joining me are as follows.

Chris Trot as Jesper the Vistani Bard,

Kim Richards as Shadows Beyond the Vale,

a Tabaxi cleric,

Katie Morrison as Rose Vanendy the Human Ranger,

Tom Hazel as Xeros Mistan the Dragonborn Fighter,

and Rianen Gawa as Sikhi Mistan

the Dragonborn sorcerer. So, Last time on Curse of Strad, our heroes have been brought to the land of Barovia, a land that is hidden by mist and magic and encountered its dark overlord Strad von Zarovich.

In a small village that seats beneath Strad's home, Castle Ravenloft, the party are drawn to the Burger Masters' mansion as a woman's

scream pierces the night and the sounds of battle erupt through the streets.

Here they meet Irena Indirovich or Irena collyan as well as her brother

Ismark and her father collyan as well. A Strad himself attempts to lure Iren to him, sending devils to dispatch her family.

With a hero's intervention, Irina was saved at the cost of Strad's rage.

Furious, he appeared above Barovia in a swirl of mist and made a proclamation.

Bring I Rina to me in two days, or I shall rain down death and fire upon you as a suffering you have never known before.

It didn't take long for the villagers to form a mob and encircle the mansion.

In a desperate escape, Irena's father set the mansion a flame and stayed behind so the

group could escape on horseback, heading down the old Svalik Road and on towards Destiny.

Destiny.
