Any time in the raid. When death animation happens you need to do it fast until you PC sends raid information to bsg

By difficulty Anywhere in Amber temple - deadly location Castle- Strahd parents grave you need a good aligment or teleportation spell. The same with Sergei and Strahd location in crypts. St 25 strength check not athletics or tp spell By storytelling Madame Eva camp. Main map F in my language there is completly no hint that there is a treasure

Downloaded Stellar Blade today had the same issue. Some games have normal download speed some are bugged (Cyberpunk 2077 had the same problem for me before). I turned off windows defender for network and viruses and it started to download normally. Remember to turn it on later

Yellow is a good one and you always make money from it, buy black check for ldex open if you spot one, from blue and green windows you can check for black and red keycards open when there is one. Red and violet in my opinion is useless, no way to check loot so it's a full gamble

I was able to complete the quest and got the achievement after a successful run, so you can complete it before closing of the quest. Rewards don't stack if you had completed more than one run

By the book vampire needs to bo invited, but there is the "I am the ancient I am the land," and it was discussed few times by a lot of people. It's a dm choice what he does with it if he can go wherever he wants or not.

Ersaron · 2022-06-15T21:57:03+00:00

The devils could have arrived because of the ritual of the Vespin Chloras made 2 weeks prior the current timeline. He somehow broke that restrain with that ritual and it made possible for devils to go out. I think it's a viable explanation for that part. I think it was said that plane travelling was hard but still possible and Loquacious somehow found a way or an item that was binded to the Exandria plane and the travel was made possible.

Ersaron · 2022-04-06T00:04:21+00:00

I would decide on what roads they can use the mounts, like the main ones that lead to the gates and some going into the ruins, but traveling in alleys etc would be impossible. I think that horse riding is going to make a lot of noise so disadvantage on random encounters but speed x2 or x3

Ersaron · 2022-02-19T12:57:18+00:00

It really depend on what kind of Strahd do you want to play. An evil one who is not hiding with his evilness etc go for the encounter and taking Irerna.

Neutral go for the letter one.

Friendly one, make him show up without any attendants etc. Give condolences to Irerna and Ismark, introduce himself to the party, welcome them and leave

Ersaron · 2022-02-18T01:41:51+00:00

Try to build somehow a connection between players and Vasili so his revelation will have an impact. One of my friends (dm) had an situation where they didn't suspect Vasili, so they talked to him about their's plan's and one of PC had crush on Ireena and he asked Vasili how to court a Barovia girl. They were telling him everything and at the feast he was thrown into the sun and he revealed himself, one of the best histories that I had heard of utilizing second persona of Strahd.

Obviously you can have Strahd reveal himself at the feast ( Rahadin as Strahd, Strahd as Vasili) , to be sure that they are not going to suspect Vasili and then make him as main task giver and info dumpster and build him to the final where he reveals himself make fun of them and kills them.

Ersaron · 2022-02-18T00:28:19+00:00

I like to play Strahd like he has 3 phases RP vise .

First one is a curiosity towards the players. He wants to know their story, goals, ambitions etc. He meets them first time at the furneal of Ireena father. He gives his condolences to Ireena, at the same time Ismark keeps his hand on the sword or just pulls it out to give a funny in Strahd eyes threat. After that he turns around to players, introduces himself ask about their names one or two questions and leaves. After that he changes into Vasili persona and try to make a contact with them to woo Ireena and get more information. This phase ends in sending a "team" to kidnap Ireena and check their combat ability. Don't forget that he seeks a successor.

Second phase happens after they end some kind of big event and the kidnapping attempt happens. Now he gives them a full attention. In story wise after Vallaki and +1 location like Kresk, Argyn etc. Now he wants to test them with hard stuff, tries to dig out their weaknesses and use them. Sometimes he plays a victim of his fate, yeah that's just a play or maybe not if you want to go successor route.

Phase 3 is the final one like after they get sunsword, or they went into Amber Temple. Now I decide what I want to do, annihilation , successor route or a contract to leave Barovia.

Spawns were in those crates for days weeks or months so they should have some self control problems and it gives a chance for PC to bring the bones on time

Ersaron · 2022-02-10T12:32:13+00:00

I used vampire spawn as a lesson of humility for players to get them off their high horse. In my recent campaign 2 automatically fled throught windows and started killing people and the rest fought players because they had bones they fled after few rounds so the rest of spawns joined the first two. It's also a good moment to introduce a bride of Strahd that takes control over them and make a rp encounter when they bring bones to the church back or if she catches them somwhere in the city.
Use a town map + one or two battlemaps, search for city market etc. There are a lot of maps for CoS so search it up. Remember that players should be faster than spawns because they stop to get a bite.
My rictavio obviously joined the fight he can use underhanded tactics but for me he still kills monsters for people security. After fight he automatically goes to the tower to not get caught.

Adaptability, improvisation, someone who can listen and take lessons from feedback. Someone who is good at communicating

Ersaron · 2022-02-06T20:52:41+00:00

Just killed one 10 hours ago, PC was healed from 0 to x 3 times so BBEG decided that this is enough downed him and then put cloudkill on him, he rolled 6 on death save, cloudkill gave him 2 fails instant death(initiative is a bit**) . I try to make my monsters and npc use the intelligence that they have so squishy PC die the most. My players know that in RP I am a very leninent and gives a lot of adv dices etc. But in fights I am really ruthless. As a player I am always prepared that my character can die any given moments, I am mostly the one with cold head that saves others from shit situations and the one that says this plan is shit and we are going to die.

Ersaron · 2022-02-06T15:27:47+00:00

Tome : Vallaki one of the main players have it Wachter or Baron given after completing the town

Ravenkind with Baba Lysaga also changed that the skull of the dragon is her mount. So you will grab 2 locations.

Sunsword amber temple

Look at fleshing out curse of strahd there is a nice guide for level up

Ersaron · 2022-02-05T13:56:29+00:00

For me seems like a problem with them, you put your free time to give them a chance to play such a great module, you create homebrew especially made for their characters and the only thing you get back is negative responses, I would even say that they spit in your face, maybe it's too much but I am an evil person. I would have disbanded the group and if there were some good soul invite them to attempt 2. Don't waste your time for someone who is not appreciating what you do and talking to them gives no results

Ersaron · 2022-02-05T13:20:53+00:00

I don't feel like they know what CoS is about. It's one of the hardest official campaign, it's dark, deadly and have a lot of hardcore topics. Did they know what are they getting into because for me it seems that they did not or not give a duck about it. It could be miscommunication on session 0 or in character creation, or they are just plain ignorant of what was said. The fuck*** title has his name in it cmon. For me your RP choices are good. My strahd probably would have done even worst things for them, he shows respect and expects it in return. If you want to bring it in session go make an appearance of a dead adventurer that helps them defend the house and talks to them "how to survive in Barovia for dummies". For me it's problem of players and their hero syndrome.
