We last left our adventurers outside the church of Barovia.
The party decides to go to the local shop.
They are greeted by a odd man named Bildrath. Jakothia asks for cloves of garlic to wear and buys them for a price. Also Alehandro finds some banded armor and trades it for his necklace.
The party leaves the shop and heads off toward the castle. About a half way toward the fork in the road the party encounters 3 Large Wolfs/Wargs and fends them off without much issue.
They continue on into the night and as the morning comes they encounter the fork. Sir Jakothia say's left, Alehandro and the dwarf say right.
We go right. Halfway down the trail we find a camp of gypsies. They clap and cheer at us and tell us to come and dance. Madam Eva would like to see you!
Jakothia decides to go inside Evas cart. Alehandro stays right outside to listen.
Ellock and the two soldiers stay outside with the festivities.
A room draped with cloth in the middle a table. Madam Eva a old estranged krone laughs and cackles and tells Jakothia that fortune and destiny has lead him here.
I ask Jakothia to roll some dice.
Madam Eva starts to shuffle some cards.
She points to the Cards in order.
A 10 of Spades.
"This card is a symbol of great power. It tells of a powerful force for good and protection against the forces of darkness. This is in a place of dizzying heights that all loathe to travel. The road winds ever upwards and the rocks themselves live here. The spade is a dark shadow of evil cast over that place. You fight under it's influence here."
A king of Diamonds.
"This cards tells of history. Knowledge of the ancient may help you understand your foe. A kings throne is the place to find this. The Diamond blesses your skill here, but bodes poorly for your protection."
A 7 of Hearts.
This is the object of your search! Ah! I see darkness and evil behind this card! It is a powerful man whose enemy is the light, and whose powers are beyond mortality. You may find this amid the ruins of a place of supplication. There is a very good influence here, if you are there the powers of good will aid you."
The 5 of clubs.
"This card is good for you. It is a card of power and strength, the victors card. It tells of a weapon of light, a weapon with a vengeance. You should seek for a carefully hidden place of great worldly wealth. I see a blazing fire protecting the place. The club sustains your strength here, but holds you from your victory, taking more time then otherwise would."
Madam Eva goes on
"And here is the root card. Out of Darkness and Chaos, this card find the reason and foundation for darkness and chaos. This card shows the purpose of all things. It is the key to life and death else beyond.
A 3 of clubs.
Not yet, but soon, one who appears to be your friend will become your enemy.
Now go begone and may fortune be in your favor."
Alehandro listens and keeps note of what Eva said.
The party leaves the camp and heads towards a separate bridge across towards Castle Ravenloft.
They come across a intersection at it a large coach and two black horses. As they approach it's doors swing open.
Jakothia searches it and sits inside. Alehandro steps in with the two men-at-arms. Ellock tries to reign the horses to no avail. He goes up to one and looks at it. It stares at him and petrifies him.
Alehandro grabs him by the britches and tosses Ellock into the carriage and the horses head off toward CASTLE RAVENLOFT
