==Summary== === Episode 23 - Van Richten's Wild Ride === ==== The Party ==== ([[Anna Prosser Robinson|Anna]]) [[Evelyn Marthain|Evelyn]] - Human Paladin of Lathander ([[Commander Holly|Holly]]) [[Strix]] - Tiefling Sorcerer ([[Mark Hulmes]]) [[Ezmerelda]] - Vistana ([[Nathan Sharp|Nathan]]) [[Paultin Seppa|Paultin]] - Human Bard ==== Paultin's Return ==== [[Paultin Seppa|Paultin]] went through a portal to [[the Amber Temple]]. He's down below where the vestiges are. He casts ''invisibility'' just as two (vampire spawn clamber down the wall to get him. Meanwhile, dead [[Strix]] is in mists of [[Barovia]]. In the fog, she sees dark grey forms. She meets a little kid named [[Jesper]] who died of an illness. She thinks that the longer they stay here, the less real they will become. They run into the crazy kid who tried to kill the group a while back. He has no feet. He is weird and creepy. Back in [[the Amber Temple]], [[Diath Woodrow|Diath]] is holding the corpse of [[Strix]]. [[Evelyn Marthain|Evelyn]] and [[Barmy]] the lich are nearby. [[Barmy]] tells the heroes that one of the vestiges can bring her back. Despite his invisibility, [[Paultin Seppa|Paultin]] actually gets dropped by the vampire spawns. [[Diath Woodrow|Diath]] and [[Evelyn Marthain|Evelyn]] hear the noise. [[Evelyn Marthain|Evelyn]] charges in. [[Paultin Seppa|Paultin]] is invisible still, so they don't know he's there. [[Evelyn Marthain|Evelyn]] trips over [[Paultin Seppa|Paultin]] and heals him. The group isn't sure if it's really [[Paultin Seppa|Paultin]] or another simulacrum. [[Paultin Seppa|Paultin]] becomes visible. They hear someone below yelling, "Back in the name of [[Lathander|the Morninglord]]!" ==== Van Richten ==== It is [[Rudolph van Richten|van Richten]]. He's come to help the heroes escape [[the Amber Temple]]. After some discussion and thought, [[Diath Woodrow|Diath]] quietly approaches one of the vestiges. [[Diath Woodrow|Diath]] tells the vestige it can do what it will with him as long as [[Strix]] is brought back to life. [[Zhudun the Corpse Star]] offers him the power to cast ''resurrection'' one time. [[Diath Woodrow|Diath]] agrees to the pact and he becomes an emaciated, ghoul-like thing. Blinding white light fills his eyes. He's been invested with ancient power. He can use the ''resurrection'' power once and then it is gone forever. [[Diath Woodrow|Diath]] will need the spell component to cast the spell. The spell component is a 1,000 gp diamond. Diath heads into the treasure area to look for such a diamond. [[Rudolph van Richten|Van Richten]] talks with [[Evelyn Marthain|Evelyn]]. He reveals that he was disguised as [[Rictavio]], the guy who interpreted [[Madame Eva|Madam Eva]]'s reading way back when. <ref>[[Episode 3]]</ref> [[Evelyn Marthain|Evelyn]] asks about [[Dee]]. [[Dee]]'s safe. ==== Strix's Resurrection ==== When the discussion turns to bringing [[Strix]] back to life, [[Rudolph van Richten|Van Richten]] reveals that he has a scroll of ''raise dead''. [[ProJared|Jared]] is hitting himself in the head with a book. [[Rudolph van Richten|Van Richten]] uses the scroll of ''raise dead'' on [[Strix]]. The group goes up to the entrance. It was blocked by rubble, but they see that something has since burrowed a tunnel. It was [[Rudolph van Richten|Van Richten]]. Apparently he used some kind of creature to create the tunnel, and then let it go. [[Rudolph van Richten|Van Richten]] tells [[Strix]] she has the key to defeat [[Count Strahd von Zarovich|Strahd]]. The group exits the temple and piles into Rictavio's Wagon. He drives like a maniac. They go through [[Tsolenka Pass]]. Here comes that winged creature that [[Strix]] heard but didn't see.<ref>[[Episode 17]]</ref> It's a roc, a massive, powerful bird. The roc scoops up the entire wagon. [[Strix]] uses ''hellish rebuke'' to damage it. The roc drops the wagon right on the edge of the bridge, and the wagon doors open. [[Strix]] falls out and plummets into the chasm. She thinks she can assume ''gaseous form'' to save herself. She does. [[Rudolph van Richten|Van Richten]] is prone on the ground near [[Paultin Seppa|Paultin]]. The carriage is teetering. The horse is tethered to it. [[Diath Woodrow|Diath]] tries does a sweet maneuver to get out of the wagon and succeeds. The roc is flying away. That's where they stop.{{Episode nav|state=expanded}} [[Category:Episodes]]
