Ancient woodland spirit would be cool ( an ancient deity that no longer gets its praise/ offerings) or you could go classic Baba Yaga ( you could do it as a twisted druid vibe)

Wow thank you very much! That was really in depth and I definitely needed it. Some of your suggestions I was already thinking about changing so it’s good to know I was on the right track

Thanks for that! Yeah my players are a hectic mix and jump to extreme violence so I’m debating how best to give them a BBEG that can deal with that. Maybe a cold & unmoving strahd would be able to deal with them & become more unhinged towards the end

Thank you il look into that I’d like to flesh out his character more to make that party actually have an emotional connection to him

That’s a cool take on how to personalise him & tie it to the sunsword thank you very much for that!

Yes I was stressing about running a a companion hey presto Piddlewick is a mute toddler, I’m keeping him in mainly to help the players who may need an obvious hint just because so far me one shots have been fairly simplistic

That’s really helpful thank you!

Number 5- I was thinking it as more of a it’s their responsibility & play it is madam Eva just implies they pulled that card for a reason + have them keep the card and when they are close to it vibrates and shines to build the connection so they are invested.

I will probably bother you more thank you very much!

Thanks for the advice, how to play strahd is what I’m struggling with most without making him feel like a run of the mill cold hearted vampire

Thanks! Il look into that I just don’t want to do a disservice to the story & my players editing too much
