So what the title says we're doing CoS nd almost done we're level 4 out of 10 ish to fight him and we'll be moving on to Theros for more high level shenninagans. But how do we do that? I wanna use Piety and focus on a few grand adventures but I would like some advice on how to incorporate a move to Theros with it's heavy focus on worshipping gods.
I'd maybe start having the gods court the players with their gifts. The in-game lore could be something like this:
The deeds of the PCs have begun to get the attention of powerful beings, including one or more of the Gods of Theros (who think that the PCs may be the heros that they need for whatever purpose)
Perhaps one god targets a specific PC, and transports them all from Barovia to Theros (just when they thought they were going to get back home!)
The rest of the gods take notice as this group of heroes appear in their realm, and they offer them a supernatural gift, in return for their fealty.
These gifts could give the PCs the same shared goal, or perhaps different goal for the resolution of whatever the original conflict was.
Either way, that sounds like fun. I'll be curious how it works out!

These are pretty nice I was really struggling with how to get the party to worship gods cuz Piety is pretty nice though needs some expanding, rewards at 3, 10, and 25 is a bit... nuts
Yeah you could talk with one PC on the side that might have an obvious affiliation with a god/gift, and then surprise the rest of them in session. Maybe give them a smaller list to choose from that you curate. I mean, they could always choose to enter Theros without paying tribute to a god, but you could make it clear that it would be volunteering for a severe handicap.
