Session Title: The Winery Assault and the Twig Horde

PCs present:
Pulgar (Juan Casanova), Ceres (Paloma), Broseph (Juan Maldonado), Feyre (Rocío), Hulio (Emilio), Erdan (Marcos), Dietrich (Álex), Renoir (Nacho).

NPCs present:

• Twig Blights (plague-like creatures).
• Horses (from the group’s wagon).
• Druid 1 (The one on the upper floor with the staff).
• Druid 2 (The one on the stairs who transforms).
• Swarm of Ravens.
• Mysterious men in the woods (seen by Dietrich).
• Urwin Martinov (mentioned in the initiative order).
  (Note: Strahd, Madame Eva, the Durst Family, or Stalimir do not appear nor are they mentioned in this session).

Key developments:

• The group deliberately crashes their wagon into the entrance/garage of a huge winery in Barovia to avoid being surrounded outside.
• They are besieged by an incessant horde of “twig blights” (dozens and dozens of them) entering through every crack and door.
• A Druid casts an ice/hail storm from the upper floor that ends up destroying and killing the group’s horses.
• The ravens inside the winery seem to be on the players’ side, pecking and killing some of the twigs.
• Renoir and Erdan manage to decimate a large part of the horde using repeated Thunderwave spells.
• A second druid, after taking an axe blow from Hulio thanks to his barkskin, transforms into a giant blue spider and leaves Hulio unconscious (at 0 hit points) with a massive poisonous bite.
• Dietrich arrives at the winery area running from the woods to assist the group.

Loose ends:

• The Vampire’s Staff: The first druid shouted in broken Druidic that he possessed the “vampire’s staff.” What power exactly does this object have and why does he have it?
• The men in the woods: Dietrich saw a group of men armed with short swords running behind him in the woods, but they suddenly disappeared or lost interest. Were they illusions, ghosts of Ravenloft, or real enemies waiting?
• Hulio’s survival: The session ends in the middle of combat with Hulio on the ground dying from the giant spider’s poison, waiting for Ceres to heal him.

Session Joke:
Although the DM (Morgan) tried to force “quick session jokes” at the beginning (like the one about the blind man on the braille track), the best joke that emerged naturally due to the players’ creativity and reactions was “The Tank Bard.” Nacho (Renoir, the bard) dove down a chimney, threw himself into the middle of the horde of monsters, taking hits on purpose so that his Bardic Inspiration (“Vengeance”) would deal psychic damage to the enemies, and finished by blowing up entire groups with Thunderwave. The players ended up joking that the bard was the true “frontline” of the group.

Scene 1

Scene Title: Forced Landing in Barovia
PCs present: Erdan, Pulgar, Hulio, Renoir, Feyre, Broseph, Ceres.
NPCs present:

• Horses (Nervous, rearing, kicking. Archetype: Scared beasts).
• Twig Blights (Small, look like dry branches with claws, walk on twig legs. Archetype: Mooks/Swarm or Minions).
  Location(s): Winery entrance/garage, inner ramp.
  Loot obtained: None.
  Scene summary:
  The group is going at full speed in their wagon fleeing from the twigs. Instead of stopping, Ceres drives the horses to force entry into the winery, breaking the posts and wedging the wagon into the garage by force. Feyre immediately transforms into a Brown Bear as a free action and scares the horses even more, so she has to step aside. Erdan tries to spread oil to create a wall of fire, but upon realizing it will take him a long time, he chooses to cast a Firebolt. Pulgar gets off the wagon and blocks one of the broken doors to try to slow down the horde pursuing them from the fog. Renoir, seeing a chimney, decides to dive down it, crawling downward to enter the building.

Scene 2

Scene Title: The Vampire’s Staff and the Death of the Horses
PCs present: Feyre, Erdan, Ceres, Hulio, Pulgar, Broseph.
NPCs present:

• Druid 1 (Wild/hick-looking man, face dirty with mud, wears bear fur and pendants, speaks broken Druidic. Archetype: Megalomaniacal cult leader).
• Twig Blights.
• Horses (Dead).
  Location(s): Inside the winery (vat and wagon area), upper balcony where the crane is.
  Loot obtained: None.
  Scene summary:
  From the upper floor, next to a crane used to move barrels, a man sticks his head out. Feyre manages to understand his bad Druidic: the man proclaims that nature obeys his wishes and that the group has no chance because he possesses the “vampire’s staff.” Immediately after, he casts a spell (Ice Storm) on the wagon. The bear (Feyre) and the horses take massive cold and bludgeoning damage. The damage completely destroys the horses, killing them on the spot. The twigs start to enter from everywhere, climbing over the equine corpses, and Feyre loses her bear form after taking a beating from the twigs. Broseph fires magic missiles from the rear to clear the area.

Scene 3

Scene Title: The Blue Spider and the Atomic Bard
PCs present: Renoir, Hulio, Pulgar, Dietrich, Erdan, Broseph, Feyre, Ceres.
NPCs present:

• Druid 2 (Skin hard like bark, wields a staff with poisonous thorns, transforms into a blue Giant Spider. Archetype: Beastly shapeshifter / Sub-boss).
• Swarm of Ravens (Frantic, fluttering in the ceiling beams. Archetype: Unexpected beast allies).
• Mysterious men in the woods (Seen in the distance. Archetype: Phantom threat).
  Location(s): Inner stairs of the winery, hallways, fermentation room (double ceiling), winery exterior in the fog.
  Loot obtained: None.
  Scene summary:
  The combat becomes chaotic. Outside, Dietrich runs toward the house throwing javelins while noticing that some men are following him through the woods, although he later loses their trail. Inside, the horde of twigs breaks the defenses. Erdan and Renoir use their Thunderwave spells (a 15-foot cube), shattering wine barrels and blowing up dozens of twig blights, filling the floor with a viscous mixture of red wine and green sap.
  On the other hand, Hulio and Pulgar face a second druid in the stairs area. Hulio lands a brutal axe blow that the druid resists thanks to his Barkskin spell. Pulgar decides to climb and hide on the ceiling like Spiderman. The wounded druid suddenly transforms into a huge blue spider and bites Hulio. Hulio fails his Constitution saving throw, taking 23 points of poison damage that leave him unconscious on the floor. Ceres falls back to block a door with her shield and try to assist the group on the next turn. The session ends in maximum tension.
