Forget-Me-Nots: Ravenloft – The Horrors Within

Blood of the Vine Tavern descended from merely suspicious to aggressively, catastrophically haunted as the Forget-Me-Nots uncovered a conspiracy of hunger, corruption, and ancient curses buried beneath Vallaki.

• What started as a routine tavern inspection quickly escalated into the party fighting murderous innkeepers, undead servants, and a basement ritual that somehow made “don’t go into the cellar” sound like excellent life advice.
• The heroes braved shattered halls, unsettling journals, and a circle of ancient raven-carved stones to uncover the terrible fate of the three Martikov sisters, whose treasure hunt ended with eldritch hunger and a very bad real estate decision.
• Deep beneath the tavern, the party confronted Sorvina’s unspeakable horror and a horned skeletal monstrosity awakened from an ancient curse, proving once again that archaeological excavations in Barovia never improve property values.
• Through courage, questionable decision-making, and an alarming willingness to touch cursed objects, the Forget-Me-Nots shattered a centuries-old evil and earned the gratitude of Urwin and the forces of Ravenkind.
• Thanks to another masterclass in gothic misery from DM Louis, the party learned that in Ravenloft even ordering a drink can end in necromancy, ancient spirits, and a fight to the death.
