The Vistani are fortune-tellers and vagabonds who wander Barovia. They serve as Strahd's eyes and ears and they alone have the power to pass through the mists of Barovia into the Material Plane. They also have the power to curse people.
The waffle crew went to a vistani camp run by Luvash. They had rescued Luvash's daughter, Arabelle, and were rewarded with treasure. While there, Murderbot killed a vistani boy named Joseph and Diath killed Arabelle with the hag pin. The adventurers escaped the angry mob of vistani.[1]
When the group traveled to Barovia's past, it was the vistani who helped them and Sir Godfrey to travel back to Faerun.[2]
