Previously, on the last season of Ravenloft.

The horrors of Barovia are ever persisting for

Capnos, a spiritual and martial bulwark hailing from the plain of Theros.

Why Hecada, a force of nature wrapped in an unnatural undead shell,

bound to the duties of the land, even in death.

Brand, a welcome glinting bright smile in the abyssal darkness.

That could absolutely pincush in you with so many arrows before you could even finish blinking.

Jasper, a survivor of the woods, as quick as he is strong, one of the most imposing

frames to have ever set foot in Borovia.

And me, Ray Kool, a spineless lizard folk who couldn't help and always ran away from his

problems until, well, you know, but we'll get into that.

We could handle a headless axe-wielding horse-riding maniac.

We could even handle a tower that had the most questionable of booby traps,

but that still wasn't enough to sway us.

Even locking down a bridge from an army of werewolves still wasn't enough to make us bend.

But one seemingly harmless query, one short-sighted decision, one foolish mistake, was almost enough to nearly consume us all.

Let it be known.

Count Straud von Zerovich, vampire lord of Borovia, demonstrated his cold ruthlessness

and his tyrannical might over the undead in one fell swoop.

Such a foe is not to be faced head-on, and such a foe is not to be underestimated.

We lost two, Capnos and Waikata.

But that doesn't mean all hope is lost.
