Hopefully my party won't get past Vallaki before the last one comes out!!

    This video series is indispensable in my planning and running of CoS. I've read the book and written personal notes all through it, but to truly internalize the knowledge for games these videos are the best. Listening and re-listening to them as I go about my day makes it possible to know Barovia like the back of my hand in game. Great job!

  • @Dre2Dee2
    @Dre2Dee2 Před 3 lety +1

    In my campaign, I had Aragal be the one who took the PCs into his cart for a mission from his lord, and "accidentally" got them lost into the mists.
    He dropped them off at Vallaki village where his lord awaited them, telling the PCs to go to the dead house to meet him. As soon as they go inside, he bails.
    The players, finding out this is a wild goose chase, are now keen to find the vistani Aragal and hear of the nearby camp from villagers. They go to the small camp and ask for him, but he is not there. They are told they should go to the main vistani camp far in the west, where their leader resides, he would know where Aragal is.
    When the players many sessions later got there and saw that the vistani camp leader was Aragal himself, they almost flew out of their chairs. Of course he was well prepared with many vistani guards.
    He plays the victim card and says that it was Strahd who told him to bring the PCs to ravenloft, under threat of death to him and all vistani. He had no way to resist. Of course this is a lie, and when the PCs are assuaged and leave the camp, Aragal makes way to castle Ravenloft to inform his lord and plans to ambush them in the castle.

    Great stuff, though the pronunciation of Vallaki drives me a bit bonkers. Try Vuh-Lock-Ee, which is intended to be similar to Vuh-Lock-Ee-Uh (Wallachia) which is the Romanian territory that Vlad Tepes ruled (who was the inspiration for the stories of Dracula, and therefore Strahd). The V does have a bit of W in it, though (or the other way around if you prefer). Also, the z in "Krezk" is much softer, and somewhat between a z and an s.
