The Nefarious Do-Gooders
Doing good, nefariously.
Doing good, nefariously.
Madam Eva offers tangled clues to the companions’ troubles, and the road to Vallaki brings wolf-like trackers and a strange cloud that draws Elora out of shelter.
A midnight procession draws Elora, Thorn, and Maledurk into a graveyard mystery, but their promise to escort Ireena sends them toward Vallaki with unsettling questions unanswered.
Returning to a strangely familiar Barovia, the adventurers agree to escort Ireena to safety and restore a priest’s vampiric son, uncovering hints that a mysterious wizard enchanted villagers into attacking Strahd.
Elora uses the crown to secure the party’s past victory at Strixhaven, prompting them to reconsider their role in their own history before returning to Barovia to help a woman they once left behind.
After Elora’s crown experiment changes history again, the party returns to Strixhaven eight centuries after their victory, where the crown reawakens above a sunken fortress and sends her unconscious into the water.
Thorn’s experiment with the crown reveals that its visions can alter the past itself, rewriting the lich’s history and proving the artifact’s influence over reality is far greater than anyone feared.
The adventurers enlist the eccentric planar scholar Veyr to unravel their reality-hopping journey, only to discover that Knogbrüth’s crown holds dangerous memories and its dead owner may have lived two lives at once.
The party escapes a Dao’s poisoned pagoda, solves a shifting hedge maze through gems and vector logic, and finally reaches Veyr’s tower, where an ogre butler ushers them inside to await the mysterious wizard.
The party unraveled the maze’s strange logic through living keys, hostile garden trials, and shifting sundial paths, only to find themselves seated for poisoned tea with a disguised dao at the heart of the enchantment.
The party follows clues to a memory-shrouded wizard’s tower near Greenest, only to become trapped in an enchanted hedge maze where time, space, sight, and even victory against its re-forming stone guardians refuse to behave.
