## **Summary**

### **Poem**

*In mists and shadow hope has passed
with darkest shadows two are tasked
Loyalty binds and breaks and bends
and the dead must now reap to make amends
As sin now revels in Vallaki's night
can the broken restore the light?*

### **Recap**

"*Last time on Curse of Strahd... After Xiiki's death in the search for the Tome of Strahd, Xiros carried her body to the desecrated church in Vallaki, and sought a deal with Asmodeus. Unknown to him, Xiiki was forging her own pact with the Dark Powers of Barovia, and both made sacrifices. On returning to the Blue Water Inn, the hallowed bones of Saint Andral, animated and possessing of some holy spirit, attacked Xiiki, and Xiros leapt to her defence, destroying the bones, and the effect upon them. The rest of the party returned from the Burgomaster's mansion, just in time to aid Xiros and Xiiki against the enraged Father Lucian, and a desperate escape from Vallaki ensued. Now the party rush towards a Vistani campsite near the town in hopes of finding allies and shelter...*"
### **Plot**
