Barovia- Old Svalich Road- Approaching the Pass

[DM Stygian Witch]

A ghastly scene is witnessed by travelers near the approach of the Barovian Gates, a single vistani wagon ambushed, set a fire and its three occupants (a boy, his mother and father) slaughtered by what appears to be bandits. Numerous booted foot prints surround the massacre and if inspected the killing wounds seem to have been delivered by club and blade. No survivors or witness remain.

Joined lightning and magic crackle upon the crags by the mountain pass, shaking loose rock and frightening the native cats and mountain goats to hide away for the day. Whatever occurred in the night has assuredly left its mark upon the wildlife.

The downpour of rain upon the craggy mountains would muffle the foreign chants and prayers escaping from a nearby den, invoking a dread malice that coupled the pleading cries of a female that ceased soon after it started.

A curious sight sits alongside the road ascending the pass from the west. A lit candle nestles in the crook of the roots of a tree, largely sheltered from the ubiquitous Barovian rain. Two white lilies flank it, and a parchment is carefully secured alongside them. Letters scribed in a tidy hand fill the page with a short message:

A dear friend who brought me much joy and with whom I regret not spending more time.

A good fellow who I never had the joy of meeting, but who brought much joy to those I cherish.

Walk in the Light. May you both dwell in everlasting bliss.

more and more dwarves seem to gather upon a make shift camp

dwarven song rings trough the night, as the chopping of wood continues mixed with sounds of wetstones on metal.
