Ravenloft

Expedtion to Castle Ravenloft


Solo Session #2 (Dilok)


Reading the contract he finds that a merchant here in the Village of Barovia is the mark. He lights the candle and finds that it makes him faster, able to climb walls, jump, and see in the dark. So moving from roof to roof he makes his way to the edge of town and the walled small, delapidated estate. He finds two guards at the gate and two more on the interior on the walls. He climbs the wall between the walled guard and the gatemen and just stands there on top of the wall. The wall guard yells for his comrades as the halfling launches off the 10 foot drop and lands 20 feet out. The guards are busy opening the door and the other has to come down the stairs so the halfling gets around the building and climbs the wall into a open window on the second floor. It was recently occupied as a pipe still smolders and laterns are lit. He sneaks into a closet just off this room and discovers another door out only to find a sleeping woman in a bed. He then hears a splash of water and a door open with footsteps heading back toward the 'study', but a yell from downstairs takes the footsteps downstairs and muffled talking. Same footsteps coming up the stairs and down the hall, the window closes and the sound of someone sitting in a creaky chair.
Peering around the corner he sees a pudgy man counting stacks of silver. With one swift stroke of the dagger the man dies and the halfling scoops up the silver.
Then a voice speaks from behind him.
"Curious...you found the contract and decided to fulfill it yourself?"
"Yes," says the halfling.
The cloaked man explains that if he wants to know more he can accompany him or leave now with no ill effects. The halfling agrees and uses a one time use teleport ring. Finding himself with in a underground stone structure he is taken
"If you would like to be just a killer thats fine," the cloaked man said, "but would you like to be more than a killer. It all depends on how you would like to serve."
"I like the second option" the halfling replies.
In an instant the cloaked man is rushing at the halfling, grapples and drains him nearly to the point of death and then the vampire asks,
"Would you still like to serve?"
"Yes" weakly mutters the halfling.
Opening a vein on himself the vampire creates another.

"You are now a Ba'al Verzi.
"The order you have just offered your life to ."
He gives a short history of them and says about 350 years ago they had a contract for him, Nicu Montenescu but he was already a nosferatu and quickly infiltrated and took over.
"You are now part of the inner circle outlander. For now go back and rejoin your friends and await orders."
The halfling receives his two halfling sized daggers and a ring. And gets teleported.
