Ravenloft game thread

Mary thanks you quietly, and seems to be in agreement. Her sobbing seems to have ceased entirely.

Remember that your perception checks will be at disadvantage due to the thick mist, which lightly obscures anything at 10ft, and heavily obscures anything at 20ft. However, all you find are more boarded up building as you walk south down this straight road.

One building is a larger plan like a guest house, and is not fortified like the others. You pass this on your left immediately after leaving Mary's.

After pressing about 70ft further through the mist, you approach the estate. A weary-looking mansion squats behind a rusting iron fence. The iron gates are twisted and torn. The right gate lies cast aside while the left swings crazily in the wind. The stuttering squeal and clang of the gate repeats with mindless precision. Weeds choke the grounds and press with menace upon the house itself. Yet, against the walls, the growth has been trodden under to form a path all about the domain. Heavy claw markings have stripped the once-beautiful finish of the walls. Great black blottings tell of the fires that have assailed the walls. Not a pane nor shard of glass stands in any window. All the windows are barred with heavy planking, each plank marked with stains of evil omen.

You estimate the mansion to be approximately 120 feet long east to west and 50 feet wide north to south. The door ahead of you is nestled firmly shut.

It is a short time before you get a response. You hear a muffled female voice from behind the door. "Who visits me at this hour? Ismark, is that you?"

Grizel noticed an evil presence in the unboarded house as you passed

You do not see anyone nearby, but it is certain that the voice comes from the door.

It opens: "please come in. My name is Ireena Kolyana and I think I could use your help."
