¿Aquí qué ha pasado?

Tras cerrar la puerta hacemos un descanso corto porque Um-Raqq se había llevado un par de golpes buenos.

Mientras tanto, Elanor, Barek y Vladimir examinan un despacho y encuentran 100 monedas de oro de Strahd además de el diario de la Filatov.

“The time has come to break things off with Dmitri. He has been an enjoyable plaything, but he grows increasingly insistent that we should marry. He believes himself irresistible, that I am in love and therefore stupid. But I play the game far better than he realizes. To think that I would give over not just my fortune, but dominion over my lands, over my very life, to a man? The idea sickens me.

The servants tell me that he has been roaming the manor at night, looking in the library for clues to where the vault might be hidden. Such foolishness. My father was no fool, and neither is his daughter. There is no vault because my ancestors stand eternal guard over our treasure in our crypt. Only the twin crests of the greatest scion of our family, Valetian Fidatov, can open the way and disable the wards. Well, the second-greatest scion of our family, after me, of course. Two crests for two fountains in a terrible labyrinth… such a wonderful trick.

Dmitri was never going to get what he wanted, but he is still going to be upset when I end our dalliance. I shall tell him tonight and send him on his way quietly. I don’t want him to make a scene at my party next week. And besides, perhaps there will be a new suitor or two to consider…”

Bajamos al sótano y examinamos la bodega sin encontrar nada. Sin embargo en la habitación oeste encontramos unos cuantos necrófagos que son fácilmente aniquilados.

Seguimos examinando toda la casa. Subimos a la segunda planta. En la habitación escondida tras el espejo encontramos a Daltos, el mayordomo, junto a una nota de suicidio.

“Lady Marilena is dead.

She is gone. Gone, along with everyone else. I swore to her father that I would serve this household as long as I lived in exchange for my life… the life of a simple thief at that… and serve I have. I have been by my Lady’s side since she was a young girl and watched her grow with pride.

And yet, now it has all ended and I am at a loss..

There was something in the food. In the wine, perhaps? Perhaps both? I know not. But without warning, Lady Marilena fell ill and died, followed by the majority of the guests. The few who were left fell into a panic and turned murderous against one another. I hid like a coward and then like a fool thought I could somehow make things better by cleaning up what was left behind.

I see now that there is no point. No point to taking care of this house when the Fidatovs no longer live. I wish to join them. I wish to join my Lady.”

También hay algunos libros de magia que hace que Urieth se emocione como una colegiala. A efectos de mecánicas, Urieth puede elegir cualquier hechizo de su nivel.

Decidimos hacer turnos de guardia y dormimos para descansar. Nos despertamos en la misma mañana.
