GM Niles' Curse of Strahd (Inactive)

Game Master nilesr

I don't know his motives, neither did i see the man in the tower, but it could be. We'll never know if we don't check. That's all i'm saying. Perhaps i'm not too keen on certain death in the Amber Temple though. That place is even more crawling with evil, i'm sure. So if you think all we found here is ghosts and trouble, you definately won't like it there!

"We came for a missing sword and found more confusion than answers it appears, Why would we find almost certain death within the Amber Temple?"

GM, could Malthorn tell if the man in the tower was Rictavio, had originally figured that the silver haired individual was a manifestation of the dragon

It most certainly wasn't Rictavio. From the information you gleaned from various sources in the manse you'd guess that it was some phantasm of Argynvost. RE:Sunsword You missed a couple clues in the manse, but for the sake of moving along I'll fill you in. The Sunsword was taken from Argynvost by minions of Strahd after Strahd slew Argyn. There isn't much pointing to "where" outside of what's been told to you.

OK shall we head for Vallaki?

"Vallaki is.... as good a place as any. Certain death in the Amber Temple as Kassimir described it doesn't strike me as the route to follow quite yet. Perhaps the brother and sister can provide answers they did not yet know they had when we last met them."

glancing at the cemetery once more and then the mansion, Malthorn turns toward the road giving the spiders once again a wide berth. "Something called a Sunsword aught to put any darkness within the cript back right once more."

"Indeed, such a weapon sounds like a power tool against the darkness. Let us be off to Vallaki and see if we can discover more."

"OK to Vallaki, I guess we'd better start walking, it's a fair way" nodded Gail. She then started heading down the mountain. It stated to rain softly and she muttered, "I wounder if we shall have to walk the whole way or if we might find Esmeralda again..."
