As the title says, I am DMing Strahd and the party lost Ireena. I figured Strahd would give the party a stern talking to. What kind of machinations, cool equipment, or monsters might an old, bored vampire unleash on a party to both sate his boredom and encourage the players to locate Ireena again?
I figure he has lots of cool stuff lying around, and he has been killing off adventurers from all over for centuries. Maybe lightening shooters, airships with cannons, weird monsters he has captured.....overall just looking for cool ideas that the party might have "fun" with. Think like a mix of caslevania and batman.....pardon the pun.
Something I considered was him poisoning the party and putting the antidote in one of a Hydra's heads.
Well, I can come up with mad scientist ways for him to screw with characters...Clone them and send their clones to kill them? Splice their genes and turn them into human/animal hybrids? Transplant evil limbs onto their bodies that force them to do evil things and punch them in the face when they try to stop? Shrink Ray? Make the healer radioactive so they can't get near the rest of the party without poisoning them?
But I'm not sure how that would help them find Ireena, nor why Strahd would want them to do so, rather than finding her himself.
