session 1 - Sep 7, 2022

Etienne doesn't feel safe during day. Has hired Aurora as a bodyguard (a paladin selling her services as body guard).

Etienne and Aurora encounter a bar fight gone wrong on their way to the pub. They witness Silas Deepwood give a gift to who they will discover later is Arcus.

Etienne paid swiftly for his beverage, the coins he provides have strange impressions, and draws attention from the barman.
We all meet at the pub.
Aurora
Etienne
Balin Parnak
Arcus

The barman tells us of Arrigul at the bar.

It seems that Balin Parnak and Arcus wish to go to some castle - mac citadel.

Aurora and Etienne meet and speak with Arrigul
we get a parchment with a unique seal, it is a request from Kolyan Indirovich Burgomaster for help.

Etienne notices this kind of people before (Arrigul) - notices the same clothes and accent ... he relates them to where he is from - they are called Vistani

We set out together to arrive at whatever castle Balin Parnak and Arcus wished to go to, however we got lost in the fog and ended up fighting a bunch of wolves and then some Dire Wolves and THEN some were-wolves showed up, and we high-tailed it outta there.

We then ended up magically appearing in Vallaki - the guards where pricks and wouldn't let us in and when Arcus applied some make-up they called their guard to arms. So, again, we high-tailed it outta there.

We passed some zombies, tried to avoid them, but ended up having Arcus blow them all away, they were very, unusually, weak.

We then came to a crossroads and saw a castle to the left and the path to Barovia on the right. We followed to the right, but then had another encounter with more wolves.

We barely survived, and headed to Barovia as quickly as we possibly could.
