When the Abbot heard that the party was scheduled to dine with Strahd that night, he encouraged them to head toward Strahd's castle, Ravenloft, immediately.Ĭarric recieved a message that suggested he not attend the dinner with Strahd, so he and Crinaria stayed behind in Krezk while rest took the waiting carriage to Ravenloft. In return, the Abbot asked if the party would fetch a proper wedding gown, perhaps frmo the town of Vallaki. The Abbot revealed that Anaris had actually freed himself from the curse by drinking from the fountain at the Shrine earlier that morning. After Xiao Wen donated the loot to the Abbey, he was cured of his curse. The Abbot said a heavy burdon lay on their souls for stealing offerings from the Night Lord's shrine in the werewolves' lair.

The Abbot appeared to be inexpertly sewing a dress for woman. Hearing music, they went into one wing of the Abbey, where the found the Abbot and a young woman.
This one, a female with bat-like wings, shied away from the party when they approached her. He seemed somewhat dim but friendly, and escored them to a courtyard, where they found another animal/human mix chained to a post.
They found at the Abbey gate a sleeping guard, who initially appeared to be a dwarf, but upon standing showed that he had some animal-like features, including the pointed ear of a wolf, along with other strange afflictions. One of the Krezk villagers described the Abbey of Saint Markovia as a holy place, although there was now little interaction between the Abbot and the villagers. While Carric busied himself with a ritual to remove his curse of lycanthropy, the remaining trio explored a small Shrine of the Morning Lord on the north edge of the village.Īfter that, the group headed up the slopes to seek the Abbot. The carriage waited outside the town's guarded walls, while Noelle reunited with Xiao Wen, Carric, and Anaris. However, it departed Vallaki and headed west instead, arriving in mid-morning at Krezk. Assuming it would take her to Strahd's castle, Noelle boarded. The two strudy, dark horses pulling the transport appeared to have no driver.
