Entry 1 - CoS: Death House pt 1


2.  Curse of Strahd

I.  Death House:  Part One  (DDLE4)
4/3/2016  Get Your Game On, Ann Arbor,  DM: Aaron 4511659554
Tale – tiefling warlock (John), Keira – human druid (Scott), Selvan – elven cleric (Chris)

Did you send me here Patron?

What would be the point of having a figment tell me a story I myself had authored?  What did you find on the other side of the mists?

Tale recounts the events beyond the mist finding himself in winter cloths in a strange land without knowledge of how he came to be here.  The two strangers Selvana and Keira he finds himself traveling with; and of meeting Rose and Thorn Durst outside their home and venturing in to find their brother Walter, parents and whatever monster the children believe resides within.  Being a fan of horror stories he enthusiastically describes the home and the odd things encountered within.  This includes fighting with a shovel and broom, suits of armor, a spectral nanny and discovering that the two children are some sort of apparitions.

He describes the items he gathered thus far within the house as well which include the following.  A hand crossbow and 10 bolts of sharpened wood, a page of blank sheet music, a decorative cover book without any writing inside, the Durst family seal, Durst documents including a deed, a will and a letter from Strahd, a blank book which glows of magic yet to be identified and an Orb of the Warmage +1 which offers +1 to hit on attack roll spells and allows the caster to ignore half cover or less on these attacks.

Excellent!  That was much more enjoyable than your previous stories.  I hope to hear more in this vein from you in the future.  As a reward I shall grant you further abilities.  You may change your appearance at will, the better to fulfill whatever role suits best the story at hand.  The more your stories please me, the more power I shall grant.  This should both help keep you from an ignoble end as a superfluous figment and make your stories more interesting. 

Until next time.
