Description

Encountered in Groups. As discarded toys, Cursed Ireena Dolls survive and thrive because they work together. They are typically found in large groups guarding some of Castle Ravenloft's most valuable treasures in the hopes of impressing Strahd. No matter how they’re encountered, Cursed Ireena Dolls prefer to fight as an overwhelming force and flee when foes outnumber friends.

Mobile and Sneaky. Short little sadists, Cursed Ireena Dolls are adept at navigating the twisting halls and dungeons of Castle Ravenloft and climbing its many spires. They utilize their natural agility to hide from threats and flee when found often taking refuge in rafters and underneath furniture. These crafty skirmishers might run wild through battle, hacking at their enemies' calves.

Ireena Kolyana Dolls. Blinsky makes special dolls for the burgomaster’s henchman, Izek Strazni. Izek doesn’t pay for the dolls but instead threatens to burn down Blinsky’s shop unless the toymaker delivers a new doll every month. Every doll is modeled on a description given to Blinsky by Izek, and each doll has been closer to capturing Ireena’s likeness than the last. Blinsky doesn’t know that the doll is meant to be modeled after anyone in particular. If Ireena is with the party, however, Blinsky realizes that she is the inspiration for Izek’s dolls.

The Eye of the Count. From time to time, Strahd will visit Blinsky in the guise of Vasili von Holtz. When an Ireena doll bears a strong enough resemblance to an incarnation of Tatyana, he will pay handsomely for it and take it with him back to Castle Ravenloft.

One Ireena Too Many. The Ireena dolls know that they have no purpose as long as an incarnation of Tatyana remains in Castle Ravenloft. If Ireena is near, she is the dolls' preferred target.
