Ezmerelda's Return
Over at Castle Ravenloft, Paultin fell and took 17 damage.

The group stops Chris and demands to know why he lets the Acquisitions Inc group ride dragons while Evelyn can't even keep her horse alive. They think Chris loves the Acquisitions Inc group more than his "real kids."

Paultin tries to wake up Falkon, but he is dead. Ezmerelda is on a battlement 90 feet above him. Paultin gives her the finger.

Ezmerelda walks down the wall. Jared is wondering if we're about to have some PvP. Paultin casts suggestion on her, which actually breaks Strahd's control over her.

Attack of the Vampire Spawn
In the Amber Temple, the group rolls initiative. Every character rolls a natural one. Then Chris rolls for Barmy - natural 1!

The first vampire attacks. Natural 20. The group is amazed.

The vampires grab and bite the heroes. Strix uses misty step to teleport up to a ledge. Barmy uses a measly cantrip and the group is mildly outraged.

Strix is dropped to 0 hit points. The vampire who dropped her attacks again on unconscious Strix. The vampire drops her off of a ledge, sending her falling to a lower section of the room. Diath catches her.

Escape
Back at Castle Ravenloft, Paultin and Ezmerelda creep into the castle and make their way to the room with the colored stones that can teleport them far from the castle.

Paultin and Ezmerelda get to the teleportation room and they are trying to decipher the riddle to figure out the locations they can go to. Here comes Kasimir. Interestingly, Ezmerelda knows that the person that the waffle crew knows as "Kasimir" is actually Rahadin in disguise.

Paultin decides to go through a portal to the Amber Temple. Ezmerelda tries to hold Rahadin off so that Paultin can escape. Ezmerelda uses a red stone to open a portal to a different place.

Strix's Fate
The vampires run away. The heroes go to heal Strix. They can't. She's dead! That's where the session ends.
