An Invitation, to the Blue Water Inn.

[TheConnoisseur]

Scattered around Vallaki, and written in a flowing, graceful script upon clean, rather expensively produced paper, the following flyers are seen.

To Those Of A Discerning Taste
And Impeccable, Incisive Intellect
And Of Course, the Noblest of Bearings

You are cordially invited to a rare and inspiring display of artwork.

These works, of unique and magnificent value, designed to capture the true essence and spirit of Barovia, are a tribute to those that dwell in this land.

Demonstrating the unique colours, landscapes and emotive displays of this magnificent country, all are welcome to come.

Those of an artistic and emotive leaning shall perhaps be entreated by the artist themselves, who for the sake of integrity, shall remain anonymous.

The festivities shall take place in the evening.  Wine and fine dining provided.

To take place upon the evening, in the Blue Water Inn.

(A date is scribbled at the bottom.)

More of these notices appear, as the date of the event draws ever closer...

[Periwinkle]

A letter is left at the Blue Water with strict instructions to be delivered to the host of the event post-haste.

[Nemesis 24]

The truth revealed.  The creator of the artworks was none other than the dreadful vampire, Du Valle.  What was supposed to be an art show was instead a bloody massacre, with murderous vroloks coming out of the woodworks to leave garda dead and many others bloodied and badly hurt, with other deaths besides.  But whispers tell of the destruction of Du Valle, cut to pieces and reduced to dust by the blades of the garda, who cut him apart in their fury at his deeds.
