## Barovia

Red fell off the back of a Vistani cart in front of the Barovian Freedom Fighters.

Red took a funny curse/boon that gave him skeletal wings, but also a fatal biological flaw requiring him to eat dirt.

Before the final encounter with Strahd, Tokili engineered a quiver for storing holy-water-tipped arrows, giving one to Red for use with his longbow.

## Downtime

~~Red was arrested immediately after exiting Barovia on outstanding warrants.~~ Red was arrested 10 minutes after leaving Barovia for the jewel heist he organized 10 minutes after leaving Barovia.

Red joined the CLA, though he never advanced past Copper ranking.

During the part of his downtime not spent in prison, Red invented a recipe for Bone Bars That Keep Cursed People Alive.

### Red's Bone Bar Recipe

This is an incredibly versatile recipe! The base is simple, which you can then build on to make desserts or even entrees, or keep plain for a quick and easy snack on the go.

**The Base:**

The base for bone bars combines four simple ingredients:

* Bone meal: Some people are intimidated by the idea of obtaining bone meal, because more often then not, bones come from living creatures. Don't worry, you don't have to take up wolf hunting to get your calcium fix! Visit slaughterhouses, butcher shops, and dungeons to find bone-in cuts and neglected skeletons. That's no blood on your hands! The species whose bones you use *will* affect the flavor and texture of your final bone bar, but not so much that you can't cover it up with other ingredients. Feel free to mix and match!
* Grave dirt: Due to the limitations that the Dark Powers imposed, the dirt *has* to be from graves. It makes the dirt a bit trickier to get—people are not easily convinced that you're not a grave robber, you're just here for the dirt, *honest*. Still, this doesn't limit the flavor of the dirt you use! Dry, dusty dirts can give a crumbly, firm texture to your bars. Meanwhile, moist soils can give your bars a chewy texture and another dimension of flavor. If you've taken up killing to source your bone meal, you can even run a two-in-one operation where you harvest the bones from your corpses, deposit the fleshy remains underground, and mark the site somehow so the Dark Powers recognize it as a grave site. This gives you more control over the quality of dirt you're using. You can even use specific creature remains to flavor your dirts!
* Flour: Flour is the structure of your bars; they'd fall apart without it. As with all the other parts, which flour you use is up to you.
* Wet ingredient of choice: Obviously, the cheapest option here is good ol' water. Still, using a fat such as oil, butter, or lipids from corpses (that's right, killing can be a three-in-one operation!) prevents your bars from taking on the consistency of hardtack.

The exact ratio at which to combine these ingredients is entirely up to you!

*Budget Bars:* This is the simplest, cheapest iteration of the bars. You can whip this up in no time at all!

1. Combine 1/2 cup bone meal, 1/2 cup grave dirt, a pinch of salt, and 1 cup white flour in a large mixing bowl. Whisk until thoroughly mixed.
2. Add 1 cup water and 1/4 cup vegetable oil. Stir in until the dough takes on a dry, tacky consistency.
3. Roll dough into a sheet ~3/4 inches thick. Cut into bars of desired dimensions.
4. Preheat oven to 350 ℉.
5. Bake for 20 minutes.
6. Cool and enjoy!
