The party has never been closer to death — or to Strahd’s victory.

After a catastrophic battle in the depths of Castle Ravenloft, the adventurers face the devastating aftermath of a near-total party kill. Drift, Morag, and Elric have fallen. Elric’s soul now lies trapped within Strahd’s vampiric blade, Lament, where he is reunited with Amisra, the woman whose memory drove him into this cursed land. Meanwhile, the survivors cling to life. Holmwood, bloodied and barely standing, drags the unconscious bodies of Matrim and Aniphi into a fragile refuge — a pocket dimension created by Rope Trick.

Now, with only Matrim, Holmwood, and the spectral presence of Amisra, the remaining heroes must:

Find a way to reclaim their fallen comrades

Recover Elric’s soul from the clutches of Lament

And ultimately strike back at Strahd von Zarovich and the lieutenants who destroyed them Hope is nearly gone. But vengeance burns brighter than ever.
