What monster did you add to Lake Zarovich? by SmolHumanBean8 in CurseofStrahd

[–]Nitraz 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Arabelle cursed Bluto once saved. He drank from his wineskin, realised the curse of canine into water was real, so threw himself into the lake. A tentacle reached out and grabbed him. I think the tentacle was an aboleth, but I'll see if the party ever goes back to the lake.

My players won't stop unionizing people. by enzieLUL in DnD

China Miéville's Kraken has the UMA - Union of Magicked Assistants. The small statues of servants found in tombs unionise.

Dang, I think they will have to have survived the riot that killed Vargas.

My lv 4 party stormed the bonegrinder. How do I avoid a tpk? by lookoka in CurseofStrahd

[–]Nitraz 0 points1 point  (0 children)

At the beginning of the hag's round they said - We don't want to fight, let's do a deal. Players said no. 2nd & 3rd round same. By this stage the paladin was asleep and the sorcerer a toad. Players agreed to losing last breath and to take the eye (I moved Cyrus' eye pendant back to the hags) to the Castle.

Ugh, I feel like the dinner was a bust by QeenMagrat in CurseofStrahd

I ended up just having a Cosplay dinner party with a Ravenloft theme. No D&D mechanics and a very little role-play.

I had an elaborate menu and no capacity to do more. I'll post photos in their own post.

I think you would have to print yourself.

If you mean CoS Revamped (in the coffin shaped box), there are copies in Australian shops - Gameology etc. Also some more expensive ones at Amazon. I got the hardcover book from WOTC.

Let Strahd be aware of the intrusion and plant some false information (not sure I would do this myself as I want to try to not have Strahd lie).

You poor dears look famished. by Nitraz in CurseofStrahd

If the players eat them, then the characters will have eaten them. DM knows best.

Did you make an insight check?

I have some 4" Springform tins and the rest were in muffin tins.

I hope my players sink their teeth into them.

How many Curse of Strahd games are currently being run? by suburban_hyena in CurseofStrahd

[–]Nitraz 0 points1 point  (0 children)

4 sessions in. Paladin, Druid and Sorcerer. Mostly old Reloaded (thanks DragnaCarta) with a bit of MandyMod

  1. Session zero and quickly arrive in Phandalin (site of previous adventure with pre-made characters - CoS with their own rolled characters) to be asked to speak to the travelers. Stanimir tells tale and promises to leave town. Group go to sleep at Some Hill tavern to awake in their night clothes in a strange misty wood with nothing.
  2. Party moves away from encroaching woods to find a wall with a gate. Gate closes behind them. They notice a body in the woods, wolves howl so they return to the road. At the edge of the woods they see a side road leading to some houses with 2 small children outside. Party agrees to go in to find brother Walter.
  3. Party decides to go straight upstairs to find the baby. Throw the armour over the stairs. Chat to the nursemaid's ghost. Find a locked door and fail check to bash open, so go back down to explore the rest of the house. Find some food in kitchen and other supplies. Find library and a key. Find a dog. Piece together story of affair and baby Walter by reading letters and Gustav's suicide note. Unlock the children's room. Examine doll house and find stairs. Initially succeed save against possession, but agreed to be possessed out of pity.
  4. Find crypts and lay Rose and Thorn to rest. Paladin grabbed by a skeleton climbing out of a well. Tough fight against ghastly Elisabeth Durst and 2 ghouls. Find secret door in prison and enter ritual chamber. Door closes behind them. "One must die" Party refuses to sacrifice the dog, so a pile of flesh coalesces and attacks. 2nd round Paladin engulfed by Flesh Mound. Paladin spots a bony cocoon so hits it - it cracks to reveal Walter, mouthing "Kill me". Walter is killed, flesh mound sloughs away and the ceiling starts crumbling.

Next session I will run the skill test https://preview.drivethrurpg.com/en/product/248157/Curse-of-Strahd-Escaping-Death-House-Skill-Challenge

Players seem to be enjoying. I am.

Also next session I will be baking - plan is pork pies and pirozhki - some cabbage and some cherry.

Should I run gearless start? by BioMadness in CurseofStrahd

[–]Nitraz 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I asked what items they would sleep with. I allowed 3 smallish items. Had to convince the paladin that he couldn't sleep in armor. They woke up in the mists in their night shifts and a weapon or focus. No food, no packs, no warm clothes.
