Vampire Spawn

The vampire spawn of Barovia all appear to be under Strahd's control. Aside from this uniting factor, they seem to have personalities as varied as any group of people, though our heroes have only gotten to know one of them in any depth.

## Encounters with Vampire Spawn

### Doru

The first encounter our heroes had with vampire spawn was when they found Doru in the basement of his father's church. It was through their interactions with Doru that they (and perhaps Doru) found out the terrible truth: vampire spawn seem to be incapable of resisting the commands of the vampire who created them. The party tried to treat Doru humanely, but when they were ambushed by Strahd, he was (possibly) forced to turn on them, and left with Strahd.

### The Feast of St. Andral's

While investigating the missing bones of St. Andral in Vallaki, our heroes were overwhelmed by Big Chin, Feral Spawn #1, Feral Spawn #2, The Goliath, Imithren, and the Scootcher as Strahd appeared for a surprise attack. In the ensuing chaos, Bodaway was knocked unconscious, Ireena left with Strahd, and both Sylvain and Grghshnq were killed. (Sylvain got better; Grghshnq did not.) Later that night, according to Rictavio, both the Goliath and Feral Spawn #2 were killed.

### The Turning of Dr. van Richten

After our heroes revived Dr. Rudolph van Richten and Arrigal killed Sylvain (with permission; he got better), our heroes found themselves suddenly dealing with various vampire spawn on the Ethereal Plane, and the three women — who may or may not also be spawn — on the Material Plane. Imithren and Dworic attacked Sylvain's spirit, while upstairs the elf, the halfling, the human, and Number Six helped Strahd drain van Richten of his newly restored life.

### Big Chin

Given his moniker by Sylvain, Big Chin was the one to initially abscond with the bones of St. Andral once they were taken from Sylvain. He was taken down by Ri-An, but later got up and was one of the spawn to ultimately escape with the bones after a chase with Sylvain.

### Doru

The only vampire spawn the party have had prolonged interactions with, Doru was in his late teens when Strahd von Zarovich turned him. He appeared to be unaware of the continued power Strahd had over him until he was ordered to attack and then kill Bodaway. He is currently believed to be in Castle Ravenloft.

### Dworic

A melee-focused dwarf fighter of some kind who fought Sylvain on the Ethereal Plane. A man of no words. Super rude. Hates the party for reasons unknown. Wouldn't let Sylvain pretend to burst out of his chest. Currently being tormented by Sylvain running around with the lantern and spooking him.

### The Elf

A male elf with scars across his face who seems to have assisted with the turning of Dr. van Richten.

### Feral Spawn #1

A young pale woman with dark hair who loved to bite and didn't talk much; one of the vampires at the Feast of St. Andral's. She was later seen terrorizing St. Andral's Church, before she seemed to come to herself and flee.

### Feral Spawn #2

A young pale woman with dark hair who loved to bite and didn't talk much; one of the vampires at the Feast of St. Andral's. She was later seen terrorizing St. Andral's Church, where she was eventually killed by Rictavio and the guards.

### The Goliath

A massive, armoured man, the goliath spawn knocked Bodaway out during the Feast of St. Andral's, then left. He was later seen terrorizing St. Andral's Church, where he was eventually killed by Rictavio.

### The Halfling

A male halfling who seems to have assisted with the turning of Dr. van Richten.

### The Human

A very pale blonde woman who was on the Ethereal Plane upstairs during the turning of Dr. van Richten. Turns out she was an Aasimar? Rip Osrin's stress levels as she was the one who killed her.

### Imithren

A woman who appears to be in her late 20s to early 30s, she has similar fighting tactics to Sylvain, using sneak attack on several occasions. She was the first to interact with Sylvain and Ireena after they found the bones of St. Andral, and offered them the chance to surrender the bones without violence. When Sylvain declined, she stabbed him on numerous occasions, killing him once and prompting his deal with the Kingmaker.

### Number Six

A red-headed half-elf woman who looked quite capable of tearing people apart with her bare hands; assisted in the turning of Dr. van Richten. Number Six has been removed from existence so we're back to a total of 5. Sylvain is okay with this since she nearly cleaved Ayduin in two.

### The Scootcher

A snooty-looking but beautiful blonde woman who ended up trapped in a Wall of Force with Ri-An, Ayduin, and Osrin during the Feast of St. Andral's. Was ordered to sit and not bite by Strahd at Ireena's request; proceeded to evade several attempted attacks from our three heroes despite sitting on a coffin the entire time. When Sylvain pointed out she could, technically, scootch to freedom, she promptly took his advice. She later fought with Rictavio, but escaped largely due to Big Chin and the Half-Elf coming to her aid.
