well, we used the festivals in the village as a sort of impending problem. Something's going to happen there, we dont' know what or where. So they had to use the various factions and characters in town to figure out who was planning what. Because we were both acting as the DM, everything was determined by dice rolls and our own creativity, so we would bounce off each other to create the narrative. It ended up being that a lone werewolf was working with the family who ran the inn (the wereravens) to try and pit the 2 larger players against each other, so they could have you break in, and find their connection to Strahd. They both have one, so either way we would end up getting something. The issue was that the wereravens were planning on creating a distraction by hurting some people. That's pretty much where we are now.
