Barovian Legends #3: Fortunes of Ravenloft

ID:4yJtMbja No.5299975 View ViewReplyOriginalReport
Your quest to rescue your sister, so far, has not been pleasant. You are currently squeezing your eyes shut and covering your ears to block out the sound of baleful screams and horrible, inhuman laughter echoing through the courtyard walls. You are fixated on one thought: <span class="mu-i">Joannus.</span> You've lost count of how much time you've spent here, rocking in the fetal position on the cold hard ground, but this thought gives you just enough resolve to wait just one more minute.

You are here because of the various and turns in your decade-long search for your elder sister. This search has lead you here, to the the Abbey of Saint Markovia. A place that was once a monetary, but is so cursed that not even the villagers from Krezk have visited it in centuries. How your sister could've ended up here is beyond you, but Strahd von Zarovich, the immortal lord who rules the valley of Barovia, is confident that she is, and he's not a man who likes to be wrong.

An animalistic screech from the shed nearly tears you away from your thoughts.

Upon arriving in the cursed Abbey, you were greeted not by ghosts or spirits, not by empty halls, but instead by beastly creatures - mongrelfolk, insane amalgamations only vaguely resemble humans. They seem to have lost their minds, and many of them seem to exist in a constant state of pain, yet somehow they function just enough to maintain the abbey grounds. One of them, apparently feeling threatened by you, nearly killed you, and your injuries from that scuffle are still grave.

But, armed with your trusty longsword, you turned the tables on them in battle, assaulting them with flames cast down by your fire deity. You negotiated with the creature who nearly killed you - Zygrek Belview - and now she has taken you into the courtyard to await an audience with the apparent leader of the abandoned monetary: if your assumptions are correct, he is the same individual who the villagers from Krezk had referred to only as "The Abbot".

This is where you sit now, assaulted by horrible sounds, driven forward only by the fleeting possibility you didn't come here for no reason.

...
