My Curse of Strahd party have finally met a certain Vallakian noble and very quickly came to like him! After a short meeting at Lake Zarovich, he and Rea especially warmed up to each other.

(I mean, you've got to find warmth somewhere. That lake is cold!)

Slightly (barely) smuttier version under the cut

The Noble House of Wachter

[costhursdays]

Returning inside from the town proper, the Blue Water Inn was once again packed to the gills with people, as Rictavio had brought along a crowd of folks who had come to hear his stories of wonder and mystery. However, before the group could get a proper sit down and rest after their long day of running around, the door opened behind them to show a tall, dark haired man with dark glasses, a poorly kept beard, and a dark cloak over his shoulders. He approached Cash and handed him a letter, beseeching the group that his employer, Lady Fiona Wachter, wished to speak to them and asked that they accompany him back to the manor for dinner with her. Nick inquired the dinner that had been prepared, and the man could only suppose probably a meat loaf or perhaps some turkey or the like. The group, excited for the possibility of free food, took him up on his offer and left the inn for a trip to the Wachterhaus.

Upon arriving to the sad, sagging building, one could only imagine how it looked in its heyday. The man leading the group here knocked on the door and a tall, attractive butler that Cash had met prior opened the door, allowing them all inside. The group were directed towards the dining room, which conjoined with the parlor, where Lady Wachter sat at the head of the table, expecting them.

The spread in front of her was lavish, the china fine, and the silverware sterling. Turkey, rabbit, pork, a meat loaf made from ground beef, and delicious vegetables and fruits all lined the table's many plates as she allowed them all to dig in. Chiaroscuro abstained from eating due to being full from cakes and tea earlier in the day.

As the group ate, Lady Wachter proffered them a job, which was the reasoning for her missive towards them. She asked their opinion on the Burgomaster, Vargas, lamenting on how horrid his treatment of the city, and even his wife was. She also made mention about how it had been rumored that two servants of Vargas' had gone missing recently, and that she was becoming frustrated with the onslaught of festivals and parties and gatherings that the Vallakovich family were putting on. She asked if anyone they knew shared her sentiment on those festivals, and it was known to the group that many people were finding it hard to handle wave after wave of forced happiness, not only that but the last festival left a rather large swath of children without parents to care for them.

In this, she asked the group if it would be possible for them to do away with Vallakovich all together, as his actions and subsequent reactions to certain folks showed his color all too well. His farcical "All will be well" chant was causing more and more people to fall into a dismal strife from their desires and the factual real world.

This request took the whole group by surprise, and they questioned Lady Wachter's plans after Vargas' death. She informed them that she'd take over leadership, as Victor was no Burgomaster, and the power vacuum would lead to chaos in the streets. Nick asked what qualifications she had when it came to leading a town, and she listed proudly her running a quite successful book club, the fact that she was one of the few noble houses in town, and the fact that she was, by all accounts, a practical and intelligent woman whose only better at this task would have been her husband had he not died a few years prior. She also informed them that a signing bonus of 500 gold pieces would be rewarded to the group if they decided to take the job, and another 2500 gold pieces upon killing Vargas and his bodyguard. The sound of the gold caused Cash to perk up in interest.

She asked that the group think on it, and Kenshi relayed that after the festival would be the best time for them to come and give her their answer. She looked disappointed, as she wished to have this done prior to the festival in two days, but if that was the case, she allowed them to leave. The butler lead the rest of them outside and they were left to think on the situation that lay before them.

Returning once more to the Blue Water Inn, Chiaroscuro excused himself to the rooms they were renting with a cup of tea offered by Danika. The inn was packed though, even more people had gathered at the sounds of Rictavio's stories, and he and Cash got into a match of fantastical stories. Rictavio told the crowd of a pair of conjoined goblin twins he had met prior, and Cash spoke of the terrifying tale of a group of tiefling sailors in Waterdeep where one of them was killed in a monster attack. Midway through the story, Kenshi left for a jog in the cool night air, and Nick and Alexir sat amazed at Cash after the story was finished. Nick attempted to see how true the story was, and Cash had a hard time hiding his emotions, asking for anything alcoholic before bed. Nick and Alexir came up to their rooms, checking on Chiaroscuro as Kenshi returned from his jog. Cash joined them outside their room, with a haunted stare as his eyes couldn't focus at all, with extra help from the liquor. Nick questioned whether or not killing the Burgomaster was even a good idea, and while Kenshi changed out of his clothes into his night wear, he had to stop midway through putting on his fundoshi, to consider their options. That night, the group slept, though how restful the sleep was yet to be seen.

The Lady Fiona Wachter 🥀

I have a huge backlog of art to post but I’m jumping the line with this one because I love her and because shit’s going down in the Strahdcast right now. Check out @criticalfayledm on YouTube or tiktok to see one of my favorite antagonist monologues to date. (Unless you’re one of my players, then stay away bc spoilers 🤨)

Playing a morally grey Stella Wachter is a lot of fun tbh. Did I accidentally kill a priest in session 1? Yes. Did I get away with it and has it now become a meme that my goal is to kill all priests in Barovia? Also yes.

One of my favorite moments from our Curse of Strahd campaign!

Valastra snatching an imp off of someones shoulder after it tried to sting her and with a nat20, proceeding to snap its neck in front of its owner. Then turning into her full succubus self.

I felt SO cool afterwards, even though Valastra got her ass kicked next round by 8 demons 🤣 through some clever placed spells, a dispell magic and lucky rolls, she ended up victorious!

Silas is incapable of having a normal interaction with any of the NPCs, including Lady Wachter.

"Here three elegant couches surround an oval table made of black glass. All are set in front of a blazing hearth, above which hangs the portrait of a smirking nobleman sporting a broken nose and a tangle of hair graying at the temples. Several smaller portraits hang on the north wall."

"An ornate dining table stretches the length of this room, a crystal chandelier hanging above it imperiously. The silverware is tarnished, the dishes chipped, yet all are still quite elegant. Eight chairs, their backs adorned with sculpted elk horns, surround the table. Arched windows made of a latticework of iron and glass look out onto the small, fog-swept estate."

Another location interior for DMs and players of Curse of Strahd - the areas of Wachterhaus where Lady Fiona Wachter would most likely receive guests.

“Lady Fiona Wachter, if you please.”

As our party enters Vallaki, the political situation becomes more fraught…

Curse of Strahd - sorting stuff out at Wachterhaus:

- Mortimer (with the help of Pazuzu, Milan, Osry, and Irina) successfully lifts the curse on Stella with skill and patience. 

- Milan channel’s Lady Fiona Wachter’s beloved decased husband for some very important questions she needs to answer for her own sanity.  We’ll see if this plays out well for her.

- Osry and Vol, who came as backup, pause from eating snacks to overhear a little of this event, the gravitas of which gives even the hungry Vol pause.

- Pazu realizes his pupkin headed dreams with a new (decorative) helm.

- Vol dreams of dancing beef wellingtons.

Suddenly Lady Fiona Wachter is my favorite NPC to play.
