What do you know about vampires? Me, very little, or at least, until yesterday morning, nothing at all. Today, just a little bit more. OK, we had dealt with the vampire in the basement of the temple in Barovia, but other than that, vampires existed in stories and children’s tales as they tried to scare…
On our way back from the Death House, we bumped into the old lady with a hand cart that we had spoken with the previous day. Apart from Ismark and Ireena she was the only one in this grubby little town that we knew. She had been selling pies. Gorek had bought two. “Hullo Mother.”…
I want to tell you about Gorek and the Pie, but before I do, I have just had the most incredible conversation with Karak that I need to write down so that I don’t forget it. We had travelled to Vallaki and made our way to the Bluewater Inn, right in the center of this…
It’s not often you witness a miracle, two if you count our escape from the Durst House, or the Death House as the locals call it. That sort of information would have been useful to know this morning. I am safely back at the Burgermeister’s house along with Karak and Lunae as the holy men…

No-one would ever have called me as a pious man, I have no leanings one way or the other, but I do respect the beliefs of others. So, when Gorek had finished his dawn ablutions and joined us again at the breakfast table. (Without Breakfast!) We agreed that we would take a short stop at…
We’re staying at the ‘Blood of the Vine’ in the town of Barovia. It’s late, but I can’t sleep. I think others have gone to their rooms for the night, but I find it peaceful to write this and try to make sense of what has gone on. And there is so much that has…
I am so thrilled. Lunae has been writing a book on what has happened to us since we came here. She says it’s because she wants to keep an accurate record of those things that have happened to us. And what’s even better, is that she has let me read it. Her words are so…
There is so much that has happened over the last day that I’m going to have to tackle this in parts. We are taking a break at the moment from the scariest encounter with a walking suit of armour. I’m still in a bit of shock because we thought there was someone inside it, but…
