Hello again! I've returned to bring you all chapter 5 of the series! This one covers our favorite over-powered encounter!

What's in Chapter 5?

In this fifth official installment, you'll find all the following information:

  • Travel & Encounters. Suggested encounters to use on the way to Old Bonegrinder that are story relevant!
  • Quick Reference Tables. Handy charts listing the names of NPCs and the questionable loot hidden within this terrible windmill.
  • Running Role-Play. How might you run this encounter as an RP opportunity? How do the hags behave without outright attacking the party?
  • Fight Advice. An in-depth analysis of one of the campaign's deadliest encounters! How can you make this fight fair and survivable without compromising immersion? How easy is it to destroy your party?

Find it on the DM's Guild!

Hello, is there any update to the Vallaki PDF? My party will be leaving Barovia next session. I love the pretty PDFs. I know Vallaki is probably taking awhile, but the last update we had was about 2 months ago. Thank you for all of your patience and dedication to improving our games!

Bought it!

Given how big Vallaki is in the Fleshing Out threads, will it be one big entry on the dmsguild, or do you plan to release it in volumes too?

Ooh! You are sneaky! I always expect a Friday release but I'll take Monday (or anytime) too! Thank you so much for these. They are so incredibly helpful and so stylish. I print out every single one.

Keep up the great work.

figured this is the best place to ask, is there an estimate on when the Vallaki publication might be posted?

Vallaki is most assuredly in progress, my friend! Unfortunately, as it’s a longer chapter, it’s taking me more time to finish. I’m hoping to finish it by next weekend. Thanks so much for your patience and I hope you’ve enjoyed the series thus far :D

Good luck to you! My party have 3 kiddies in toe and are dropping Irena off at the Church so I'm hoping they pick-up the Orphanage quest!

Thank you for the update! I'm prepping Vallaki now based on all your fleshing out material currently posted! - My next game is May 10th and currently they are stood at the Gates! So maybe enough time to implement any adjustments :D

Just purchased. Thank you! Hopefully by the time I start my campaign, the majority of these will be released!

Already snagged :) I expect the Vallaki chapter is going to be a pretty big one. The only thing I regret now in my game is I didn't change up the symbolism displayed on the megaliths to better represent the Seeker. I used the RAW version (showing the cities in different seasons). Although my players came to an interesting conclusion, that the megaliths must have come from a time before Strahd since Barovia doesn't really have seasons in the same way that the players are used to due to the constant cloudiness and rain. So that still works :)

I’m running chapter 5 Friday. Purchased!!! Great timing!!! Going in; my plan is to have the Hags try capture the group as knocked-out frogs, if that happens they will have to escape or sell parts of their body’s/souls to get out of cages. Or my group will take me in a whole different direction!

Almost missed it because it has not enough upvotes. D:

I already follow you, but somehow I don't get pinged when you post something. Time to check out my settings...

Thank you again for your work, Mandy. I´m running for a second time CoS and my players are actually at the Old Bonegrinder, so now I´m waiting for your next chapter, which I expect will be Vallaki!

Surprised you left out the Vasilli letter and orphanage hook! But this is amazing - running this in T-minus 2 hours!!

I'm planning on buying them all in one go. But the wait is killing me. Luckily I'm not running it right now (Sadly due to distance causing a separation of players). But I have always wanted this for when I can run it again. It is an amazing supplement.

Is there any update on the final epilogue with Vampyr? Players on their way to the Amber Temple and soon to be heading towards the final confrontation with Strahd! Ive been following your guide the last year and its been so helpful!
