@chaotic-miserables
Here is where you get the tea. A paladin, a monk, a detective, a top hat goblin and a wizard stubble through Barovia protecting a little gremlin lady along with their trusty cat.
Her tired brother and the wizard are rebuilding the Abbey.
I have been thrust into the role of dm and I am loving it so far.
I have lots of stories and art to share so feel free to follow for updates and campaign silliness.
-DM Willow
I love the Kolyanovich siblings so much. Their dynamic can bring a lot to the plot of COS.
IWEENIE AND ISMARK! Howw dare tumblr hide them from me for so long.
Beautiful. I love your versions of them so much.
Welcome to Barovia!
Four misfit sillies will be forced to face Barovia together whether they like it or not. Will they survive the mists or the torments of I, the DM Willow.
Tune in every second Tuesday to find out! (Game night is every second Monday)
Meet our party!
(Left to right)
Sigvat:
Sturdy, powerful and built like a brick house. This wolf of a paladin has a secret heart of gold and has earned his name as party dad. The voice of reason so far....but there is more behind those eyes than one would think.
Nettie Von Hitch:
Cunning and silly, this bard has mastered the art of deception and entertainment, often feigning stupidity and ignorance to get what she needs to survive. A little halfing dhampir who eats bad thoughts and vibes making Barovia a perfect hunting ground given the rank energy. This one....carries a most interesting secret.
Deianira Corde:
An elegant noble tiefling lady with a dark side and perhaps a few little secrets. Wizard, sorcerer and dark maiden of our hearts. Regal in her tastes in everything, behind her biting sarcasm and dry wit lies a lingering sadness the group has yet to discover.
Nikolai Yevkos:
Everyone's favourite professional shit disturber half elf half Vistani with a mighty blade and an even mighter heart. Though he and his dear uncle Arrigal were the two who brought the party to Barovia, Nik had more noble intentions than trapping them in this land to be play things for the beast of the land. Peace and freedom for his land and his people.
All art was drawn by Blue, Deianira's lovely player.

Session 0 | Session 1 | Session 2
Behold my MOnday group! Aren't they scrumptious? :3
Dracarys.
My group declared war on Strahd last session. They tried to kill Volenta in the middle of Vallaki. They finally convinced Rahadin to turn against Strahd breaking his blood oath. After sessions of work and bonding, Rahadin is now standing at their side ready to aid in the battle against Strahd. The skys darkened and lighting crackled across teh sky as Strahd appeared on the back of Bucephalus. He had heated words with the party and something finally snapped with an insult from our paladin. The moon turned red and war was declared. The blood moon rose.
Before they could react, Strahd set the Bluewater inn ablaze with a high level fireball before smirking and flying away. We ended session.
Now for the most recent session. The Martikovs, Ezmeralda, Izek, Lydia Petrovna, Gaston, Edward Skelehands and Carl the wizard were in the tavern at the time. The flames rose as the party and a mysterious newcommer tried to save who they could. Our paladin used his body to shield Lydia and almost died doing it. Danika died shielding Urwin from the fire, our monk who was like her son finally snapping out of his fallen status and becoming a scrourage aasimar.
The party barely made it out before Blinsky, Victor and a racoon ran up to them with Blinsky screaming about getting out of Vallaki in my best Mario voice (it took my party 20 minutes to recover from the sheer whiplash XD).
Lady Wachter showed up with her cultists and told the party to get out of town and that it was her town now. They almost refused before she said Strahd was coming back and they went to get out of dodge asap. As they left, dragons happened. Strahd aboard a large shadow dragon smirked at the party before yelling Dracarys and unleashing the shadow dragon's special breath weapon. A blast that turns anything it kills into shadows. A large portion of Vallakians were transformed into shadow versions of themselves as the party was forced to flee.
They actually left very quickly which surprised me because they are usually so sassy and fearless.
So now the party on the run. Ez told them to head to VanRichten's tower. There was a theater of the mind scene with shadow monsters and the Wendigo attacking the carriage. The paladin gave Ireena the Sunsword to use and our monk used the Symbol of Ravenkind to figth it off.
We got the tower and ended session with the group camping after they confirmed the stranger with them was a woman looking to kill Strahd for kidnapping her friend.
Everyone set up tents and had a long rest.
Our group count including refugees is the pcs (monk, paladin, wizard, bard and fighter), Ireena, Lorena, Urwin, the kids, Blinsky, Victor, Lydia, Izek, Yennefer (mysterious lady), a racoon that came out of an amulet (and is secretly a dragon), Picolo, Gaston, Edward Skelehands and Ez.
The party npcs were only added because my players refused to let me leave them anywhere (Rahadin and Ireena are my players' favs with Rahadin being designated grumpy dad/old man). They made it to Van Richten's tower and intend to set up camp.
Good luck to them because I am already plotting the next hell to put them through. -Willow
Vargas is out!
The TLDR is that Vargas was kicked out of Vallaki in one night.
Alright.XD Sooo our dear paladin went on his own little side adventure when the party got back to Vallaki and met Vargas wife Lydia. He gave Lydia a free cake he got from the old lady at the bakery (the old lady said he reminded her of her son).
While they chatted he noticed bruises on her neck and immediately offered her bread to chat with her more. He managed to get it out of her that Vargas was abusing her. He said he said he would chat with him.
(This was circulating in the chat lol)
He told Izek about the abuse and it came out that he had also been abusing Izek (the monk romancing him noticed his scars). Izek was vivid and tried to attack the paladin but the paladin used zone of truth to prove he wasn't lying. We flashed back to Lydia who was telling the others about her situation and being a kind mom figure already dotting on the party. Bonding ensued. This lead to the gang pulling up to the mansion. Izek being captain of the guard got the gang in easy so they had a little chat with the Burgomeister Vargas. The monk did try to take a swing at him but the paladin used hold person to restrain him to give him a "chance" to talk (I am guessing to see what exucses he had).
Vargas tried to use the old children need to be discplined and a wife needs to know her place which nearly lead to him getting merced on the spot. Fortunately or unfortunately for him, the group was feeling creative so they gave him the choice of exile or having his balls cut off. He chose exile. The rest of the group arrived and got a few kicks in as well. As for the burgomeister Izek thing, Izek has always been the ones my players have mainly interacted with in Vallaki (everytime they see him he was working, patrolling and generally stressing about the town's wellbeing). Throughout the story, they slowly kinda grew to respect him which surprised me (even our paladin who is usually very indifferent). Their logic was he was already doing most of the work anyway.
All in all a fruitfull session. We will see how things end up going come morning.
Return to Vallaki
Session prep Session prep.
I have lots of stuff to do for both of my Curse of Strahd gamesss.
The gang returned back to Vallaki last session and ended up finding the Vallakovich subplot.
Spoilers ahead!
Oh they got back after the Lysaga fight and are resting. Our paladin Felix accidentally found a subplot via meeting Vargas' wife Lydia at the local bakery at night.
As a random event I had Lydia (Vargas' wife) be there. She didn't say anything or do anything but Felix randomly gave her a cake he bought out of some kind of kindness I am guessing and was fairly friendly. He had a high enough passive perception that he noticed bruises on her neck. He immediately offered her some bread as an excuse to chat with her. She was very anxious about getting back to her husband but he managed to convince her to talk.
WARNING: Mentions of abuse and DV below
The situation I have with the Vallakovichs is that Vargas is physically, verbally and emotionally to his wife and Izek who take the abuse to protect Victor and because Vargas has this facade of being a good man and promises it is for their own good. He also was the one who was responsible for the disapearance of Father Petrovich. Lydia fears that if she doesn't take his abuse he will kill Victor or abuse Izek more.
In my game:
Izek is very attached to his whole family.
Victor is close to Izek but not his parents.
Lydia loves both of her sons and considers Izek her own.
Vargas has no genuine love for his family.
The pc basically gave Lydia an ultimadium of him taking care of Vargas or for her to find a way to defend herself. I am trying to figure out where to go from here because we ended with the pc going to Izek to tell him about what is going on in regards to Lydia. Izek doesn't know. He thinks he is the only one taking abuse.
Dusk Elf Cats
Catimir
Catrina
Catrina, Catadin and Catimir
These are very very rough 1 minute sketches so forgive the quality.
The Dusk elves as cats because it is now my canon that all Dusk elves have a cat form or take a level in druid. XD
Here is where you get the tea. A paladin, a monk, a detective, a top hat goblin, Gaston and a wizard stubble through Barovia protecting a little gremlin lady along with their trusty cat.
Her tired brother and the wizard are rebuilding the Abbey.

Our latest foe, the infamous scarecrows (1 minute sketch)
Updated! >:3
female rage
Ireena Kolyana
My inspiration is linked below just cuz. TW the video does have implied SA, DV and violence so tread very carefully if you do watch it.
Catadinnnnn!
His elf form for reference
Catadin doodles
For context, in the Curse of Strahd game I am running Rahadin is has a few levels in druid so he can wildshape. When he is in cognito while travelling with the group (as per Strahd's orders to him and the due to the group's wishes lol), he assumes a cat form I lovingly call Catadin. He has a rather negative reputation in Barovia which the party may find out...eventually.
The party loves to tease him and he often sits on the shoulders of our tiefling cowboy fighter who is his favourite person at the moment.
All hail Catadin!
Masquerade Curse of Strahd One shot
Masquerade ball one shot happened: The premise was that the party escourts Ireena and Ismark to the a ball filled with Barovia's nobles and free some Anti Strahd rebels from the dungeon. Most of the npcs had masks that made them unrecognizable.
Ismark
Ireena
Rahadin
We have gnome cleric, wizard aasimar, human warlock and one of my players playing Anastrasya (We decided to experiment). Our gnome cleric grew very close and had a cute little romance with Stella Watcher after Lady Watcher approved of her (She managed to impress the discerning old woman). They were holding hands the whole ball and Stella comforted her when the vampires especially Volenta were creeping her out.
Volenta was a chaos gremlin, climbing walls, talking about bones, smelling people, trying to make people promise their bones to her and falling from the ceiling only to get up and gremling crawl everywhere much to Ana's dismay.
Our wizard was the smart stealthy one, figuring out who Van Richten was and getting the plan in motion for the big prisoner heist. He got to interact with the creepy Abbott again.
Vargas was there and I only had to do his voice for the players to recognize him and avoid him like the plague.XD
Our human warlock was a noble lady who quickly made friends with Ireena and danced with her throughout the night. Our warlock has a brother similiar to Strahd so the two bonded and had some definite chemistry. It probably helped that the player playing Ana made sure she got between them and forced Ireena to dance with Strahd. Lovely tension especially given the death glares the warlock was getting from Strahd all night. Ismark almost burst between Strahd and Ireena but Lady Watcher reading the situation smoothly pulled him into a dance and made sure they danced near Strahd (she wanted the tea).
I am very happy I took a chance and allowed one of my players to play Anastrasya. He player her perfectly and was so much fun to watch. Constantly trying to be the center of attention, asking people uncomfortable questions, being very extra and being catty friends with Escher. She was very flirty with Ismark and teased him constantly and annoyed Rahadin by complimenting his deathly choir (she raved about how much she loved the screams of the dammed).
Rahadin was guarding the ball so our gnome cleric decided to ask him about where not to go in the castle (sort of trying to get the potential location of the dungeon without asking). They rolled well and managed to convince him to tell them where not to go. I rolled secretly and he was able to tell what their general intentions were so I get to have fun with that. After that for some reason they were very insistent he go relax and sleep saying he looks tired. He was so confused by their concern. I have no idea why my players keep being concerned about this man but I think it may have to do with him being forced to endure the shennigans of the brides and Strahd. They were very outraged that Strahd occasionally asks Rahadin to carry him.XD We ended on that note and will finish next week.
Ireena just had to tease Pax. Is there a spot of food on her face? Hmm.....well it's gone now thanks to Ireena.;3
