## **Summary**

### **Poem**

*In mists and shadows of this broken home
where fractured spirits haunt and roam
Betrayal sears with an icy grip
marked by the twist of the Grin's tip
In towers high and ruins vast
the night looks on as the die is cast*

### **Recap**

"*Last time on Curse of Strahd... Our party have come to Argynvostholt, the mansion of a once proud order of knights and a silver dragon, who opposed Count Strahd von Zarovich. In search of a powerful weapon that could aid them in destroying the vampire lord, the party have entered Argynvostholt through its graveyard, and sought a long rest inside its mausoleum. However, Strahd seeking vengeance as well as his obsession Tatyana attacked them inside, causing the party to flee, sadly losing their ally Shadow Beyond the Veil, a tabaxi priestess. Fleeing inside the broken chapel of Argynvostholt, many things were revealed as Strahd flew away with Shadow's body. The party met a new ally, a mysterious and filthy survivor called Dogsbody, witha strange accent. But, more importantly, in a moment of epiphany, Ireena who the party had rescued from Strahd's clutches, came to the realisation that she is the reincarnated soul of Tatyanaand recalls much of her previous life, though this does come at a price, as Xiros is now being drawn to complete a part of his deal with Asmodeus, marking Tatyana for unknown purposes. Exploring the haunted mansion, the party are trapped and attacked by a number of ghostly warriors, and in this heated battle Xiros makes his move marking Ireena with the infernal greatsword He Who Grins...*"
