"It's a domain of dread, a different world you could say," The devil begins. "It's a land similar to yours, only more undead and monsters. You'll have to travel there by unconventional means."
Before you can ask, mists begin to swirl around you and you're engulfed in it. As the Mists dissipates, you find yourself in the middle of a camp where people are dancing and sharing stories. As you take in your surroundings, you see Bral and Stanimir, who beckons you to him. "I see we have another one. Good."

I have an intelligence of six, I know what I'm doing.
Seeing Baudric lower his weapon, Mia rests her shield. Her hand however, stays near her weapon. "Ah, fellow soldier then. I know not of what land you come from, but the land I once called home is split in war between siblings. I served the rightful Maharani. Ramya was betrayed by her siblings and they have been fighting over the throne ever since. I fought for the Maharani until I left the capital. Out in the country I saw what our war was doing to the common people. Our entire land was torn in two by it and no one could trust their neighbors. For my doubts, I was cast out and fled to wherever we are now. Ramya Vasavadan is no ally to me, her war has cost me too much already." As she talks, Mia's eyes grow dark and sad. At the mention of the cost of serving Rammya, she touches a locket around her neck that is decorated with a purple flower behind a blood red sword. "What of you? Where are we?" She asks, looking at Rose.
Baudric nods, "I had similar experiences in my homeland. My companion here led me to this land of Barovia when I needed to flee my own homeland. Beyond that, I'm afraid I cannot say, we arrived just as you did. My companion said we should be near a Vistani encampment, seems like a good place to get our bearings. Shall we?"
Bral thinks for a moment, he had heard of the name Vistani and when Stanimir mentions it, he recalls being told about the Vistani being travellers. However, his thoughts are interrupted when Stanimir's attention is turned to another. Bral turns around to see who Stanimir is talking to.
"I think he means me," Bral says coldly in a deep baritone voice. Amelia sees before her a tall man with a dark complexion. His head is cleanly shaven, but he has a bit of a goatee. His ears stick out slightly, and he has a scar running down his right cheek.

Stanimir nods and points to Brawl. "Yes, like him, you too have been brought here by the Mists. Please feel free to eat some food and get something to drink."
Rose waits for Baudric to finish speaking as she turns around. "This is Barovia, my home land. It's dreary and gloomy, but it has it's charm I suppose. Please, follow me."
She begins walking west toward the Vistani camp.

Amelia's ear twitches. "I'm not really from anywhere these days, but I was in Neverwinter before I came here. And as for what I do, that'd be killing." She could be a little more gentle about her profession, but why bother?
Mia follows her new companions. Her hand slowly lets go of her blade as she realizes there is no immediate threat around her. As she walks, she hums a quiet tune from her home and watches the surrounding area, confused as to what this world is like.
You both follow Rose as she enters the Vistani camp. You see several folks out and about sharing stories and eating dinner. You also see two new folks, Bral and Amelia.
Stanimir smiles at Rose. "Good, you've brought two more, now we just need the other two."

After admiring the interior of the House of the Moon for some time Ubly begins to meander about. Seeing someone (Estelle) looking over papers Ubly cannot resist learning more. As they step forward they smile and ask, "What is it you are looking at?"
Ubly as you speak with Estelle, you see your friend Thorn Durst enter the temple. Before he says anything, you see thick Mists wrapping around you two. Selunite priests begin to panic but Thorn says "just stay calm and we'll be fine."
The mists dissipate and you're in the Vistani camp with everyone else.

Ubly takes a moment and a smile forms on their face. They look around them on either side and then turn, looking for Thorn while exclaiming, “Fascinating! How did you do that?”
Then turning and looking at the crowd of people, Ubly bows slightly and says, “I am Ublyudok Niktovna, you may call me Ubly. It is a pleasure to meet you all.” They wear a crooked smile that, despite their rather strange appearance, makes them appear quite charming and friendly. “Did you all arrive the same way I just did?” They gesture back towards the spot they were just standing, “That was something, was it not?” Looking at the faces of those around them their smile drops slightly, but they are still grinning widely. “Excuse me, please, I should like to know who you are as well, and I suppose what we are all doing here.”

“Very well.” Amelia stands. “I’ve never heard of Barovia. Where is it?”

Amelia looks around, bewildered, but approaches Stanimir, though she doesn’t let her guard down. “Hello. What do you mean, another one?”

Baudric moves to follow, glancing to Mia to see if she'll follow.
Amelia nods. "I ate earlier, but thank you. I take it this is Barovia?"
"I'm not very hungry right now," Bral says to Stanimir. He then turns his attention to Amelia, "So who might you be?"
“The secret we should never let the gamemasters know is that they don't need any rules.” ― Gary Gygax
Amelia turns to the man. "Right--of course. I'm Amelia. And you?"
Bral decides to ignore Amelia's question for now, "That is your name. But who are you, Amelia? Where do you come from? What do you do?"
“The secret we should never let the gamemasters know is that they don't need any rules.” ― Gary Gygax
Amelia's ear twitches. "I'm not really from anywhere these days, but I was in Neverwinter before I came here. And as for what I do, that'd be killing." She could be a little more gentle about her profession, but why bother?

Bral grunts at Amelia's blunt response. However, if Bral was pleased or displeased with her response, it is hard to tell.
"And just what exactly is it that you kill?"

Bral's attention is turned away from Amelia to the two new comers before turning to Stanimir.
"Why is it that you are expecting six people? Bral asks. Then he turns back to the new comers, "So who are you two?"
