"All Will Be Well" was the fourteenth session of The Band of Fortune and the Curse of Strahd.

## Synopsis

After waking up in the tower, Ireena and Ez (and later Lucy and Ireena) trained a bit with footwork. Godfrey witnessed Reevis's "ritual," and the two of them joked around a bit. Soon after, everyone awoke and began to travel to Vallaki. After arriving, they find the town preparing for the Festival of the Blazing Sun, one of the frequent festivals meant to keep the town placated. Lucy secured two rooms for the party at the Blue Water Inn (the same two as last time), and got charged 15 silver for the damages Aldrich and Reevis caused. The bartender also mentioned that attendance to the festival is mandatory, and those found to have dour expressions during the festival would be put into the stocks. After this, Reevis wandered around the town a bit and met the Burgomaster, Vargas Vallokovich. For the festival, a massive effigy of the sun was going to be burned. The burgomaster also mentioned his recluse son, to which Reevis went stonefaced after the burgomaster complained that it was hard to spend time with him. Back at the inn, Lucy and Cordi talked about Allison, and Lucy told Cordi a bit about him, telling her that Nallia and Allison were in love. Cordi inquired about love, and Lucy told her about it using some very flowery metaphors. The conversation ended when Lucy said that Cordi was "the Green and so much more," and Cordi stormed off outside. While she was gone, the group discussed their next move - to go to the Vistani camp at Lucy's urging to find a man named Arrigal Rudrari, or to look for a wedding dress for the Abbot. Everyone voted for the Vistani camp, except for Godfrey who abstained.

The party made their way to the encampment after paying Szoldar and Yevgeny. After arriving, they are directed to Kasimir Velikov, the leader of the Dusk Elves, with Lucy leading the charge. They also find the Dusk Elf they left in the manor, who was slightly passive aggressive towards the party. Lucy and the party got several pieces of information from Kasimir, including a lead on where Strahd got his powers; the Amber Temple. Kasimir also mentioned that Strahd killed all the female Dusk Elves, and that the spirit of his sister lingers in the catacombs of Castle Ravenloft. He mentioned that there may be a way to save her in the Temple, and asks to join the party should they go there. More pressingly for Lucy, Kasimir gave her information on Arrigal Rudrari. Arrigal is one of two Vistani brothers leading the encampment, and is supposedly very kind to the Dusk Elves. Lucy left the house after learning this, and discussed how much she desired revenge on him with Ireena. Ireena asked Lucy if she's ready to be a murderer for killing Arrigal, to which Lucy broke down completely, and said she wasn't ready, but wants to know why Arrigal brought Ireena to Barovia. Ireena concurs, and the session ended with the two of them crying and embracing.
