Chasing the string of rumours about strange happenings in the area, your party is on its way to the village of Barovia. The village is nestled deep in the heart of a valley, consisting of densely forested rough terrain, with sheer cliffs and outcroppings. Few areas are easily traversable, and it is always dangerous to stay off the road here. Winters were usually long and bitter. The sky of Barovia is permanently overcast with storm clouds, and even during the brightest hours of the day, light is unnaturally muted and dimmed...

Dravos is a High Elf paladin of Pholtus, the god of light and order. He was the second son of a minor noble, raised in his father's court. While his elder brother was taught how to rule, Dravos was taught the way of the blade. Upon coming of age, he lusted for adventure and to make a name for himself. He joined up with the church of Pholtus, becoming a paladin taking an oath of devotion. He wanders the continent, looking to drive evil back from the Mortal plane and to fix injustices.
Relicta was born from a human mother, daughter of a nobleman. Upon the midwife seeing her, she told her she and her child would be put to death because of this. Panicking, the mother insisted the midwife take her somewhere safe and told family it was stillborn. The family held a funeral for the child, filling the coffin with rocks. The midwife took the baby to a isolated monastery and left it at the door where donations were placed. The monks named her relicta, Latin for abandoned, and raised her. She was taught how to curb her rage and control it to work for her. Upon becoming an adult, the monks encouraged her to go out into the world. https://ddb.ac/characters/27362421/b8ImlR I have played d and d for less than a year, but not new to RPG. I am playing in one other pbp. Central standard time
Jacob Solom is an air genasi ranger. He was raised in a motley crew of nomads who saw to his training in hunting and survival skills. His family was destroyed upon entering a town that had been overrun by the undead. He holds out hope that he wasn't the only survivor, but he has yet to encounter any members of his old band. He moved to a city after that, and began acting somewhat undead himself. He threw himself into studying everything he could about undead creatures, never wanting to be caught off guard again.
Sounds like fun! Tried to do this before but couldn’t get through it. Would love to finish it.

Name: Gram Firaith
Race: Firbolg
Class: Cleric
Gram was noble-born, but as soon as he was old enough to know what belief was, he believed in the power of the gods. Especially the goddess Lliira. She made him believe that to give was better than to take. So he healed everyone he could. When he heard of the strange occurrences in Barovia, of course he went. He couldn’t stop himself from going to a place that might need his aid! Hopefully he makes it in time to put a stop to anything off before it can hurt anyone.

Name: Orland Fink
Race Tabaxi (Human)
Class: Sorcerer (wild magic, would change if to chaotic for the group)
Background: Student (used Sage)
Orlad Fink is a student of the arcane arts and is training to become a wizard. When studying and practicing the magic missile spell, his pet cat interferes with the incantation and causes a surge of chaotic energy, transforming, or as Orland would call it, defaces him into a Human/Feline-Hybrid, while his cat is now absolutly hariless. Its terrible! Classes are about to start again and there is no way Orland can show himself in this way to his colleagues. He is desperate for help and in his despair he seeks for the help of the powerfull, yet mysterious and bewildering alchemists of Barovia.

Name: Cyst
Race: Human variant, male
Class: Fighter
background: in his youth he had some petty trouble with autorities so his criminal record is not empty. Finally he decided to get by in the army and be paid for something he likes: fighting and menacing. After one year of military levy (where he acquired some training with long weapons) he is now searching for adventures and especially rewards.
