Expedition to Castle Ravenloft
You receive a note from a village called Barovia:
Hail to thee of might and valor:
I, a lowly servant of the township of Barovia, send honor to thee. We plead for thy so desperately needed
assistance within our community. Our village is nestled in the Svalich Woods, an ancient forest that has long lay quiet with the weight of ages on its shoulders. But recent nights have brought the howls of wolves to our ears, and the night of the
last full moon brought far worse out of the forest. Enormous wolves attacked with unnatural savagery,
killing many of us and leaving many more wounded. The love of my life, Ireena Kolyana, was one of
those wounded, and I fear for her. Her injury refuses our healing remedies, and she languishes abed.
There is much wealth in this community. I offer all that might be had to thee and thy fellows if thou shalt but answer my desperate plea. Come quickly, for I dread the rising of the next full moon! All that I have shall be thine!
Kolyan Indirovich,
Burgomaster of Barovia
This letter drives you on to help the village. Though your life may be short your experiences have left you the skills to stop the wolf attacks. Or at least that's what you hope. Together with others who have the same letter you set off towards whatever fate awaits you and the village.
