Ravenloft - Heroes' Feast Flavors of the Multiverse

Ravenloft. CRASH LANDING! Without a proper pilot, our heroes crash land the SPELLJAMMER in foreboding BAROVIA! Grieving their lost friends, they seek to finish their mission and deliver the poisoned wine, Veneno '18, to a mysterious patron who lives in ominous CASTLE RAVENLOFT! Disaster! The spelljammer, CRASHÈD near unknown woods! Dint's last squeaking command was that we abscond with the Veneno '18 and deliver it to the Castle Ravenloft! We scream into the night and slink through misty shadows, wailing with every guiltmuddèd stride. In my quavering fingers, I hold chippèd RUBY, coughèd up there by dying Dint! You see, we killed him! Only now do I understand. As the Veneno '18 poisoned sweet Bri'An, we too poisoned doughty Dint by pretending that Ruby, sweet Ruby, was the "Jewel of Javanium." (T'ever that 'tis!) As we devour beefs, so too did Dint consume gems for nourishment! He died, poisoned, believing we were some honest band of adventurers known as the Quaternate Tetrad. Even as he thrashed in pained throes, he urged us forward to present ourselves to the Ravenloft patron and earn FIVE ASTRAL DIAMONDS. My heart bleats in my ears as I lead my false Tetrad in flight: We scream unto the night! After like an hour of screaming through the woods, I gained enough sense to pull myself together and slap Squirladax to non-screaming. I'm now pouring the local "Blood Meal" into his nose, which the manual suggests is the quickest way to restore warm blood directly to his brain. Composure regained, I find Dint's murder...somewhat less fascinating now. I find this place, however, more appetizing. We are in a tavern called Blood on the Vine that is buried in the mist-shrouded village of "Barovia." Barovia-a place of soulless eyes that both haunt and compel me. At the tavern, I hunt Barovian Garlic Bread. I slay Fig Cakes with sharpened daggers o' the mouth. Sasha crunches Tavern Crickets. Oh, the leaps she'll make with cricket digestions greasing her leg hinges, so sayeth...
