Instead, I edited the scene such that Tatyana’s spirit divested herself from Ireena and left with Sergei. So a scene where Ireena disappears with Sergei wouldn’t… make sense. In my campaign, Ireena is still Tatyana’s reincarnation but with a personality of her own, with a character arc that centered around her becoming her own person. And, it fits with what the party accomplished-Ireena made it all the way through the adventure, and they spent time getting to know her (and uh, she and the bard are girlfriends).Īlso, I was pulling away from the original adventure’s characterization (minimal as it is) of Ireena as just a vessel for Tatyana’s soul. I really like the optional ending scene with the spirit of Sergei von Zarovich and Tatyana reuniting. Something to remember for future campaigns! This wasn’t a major issue because we ended right after they destroyed Strahd, but I could have handled it better-maybe even set up the fight right at the end of the last session as a cliffhanger. So I missed that there was one final combat after killing Strahd (Rahadin, who the party had left alive thus far). I’ll touch on it later, but since the previous session had reached and defeated Strahd, I didn’t have much time to fully prep his fight and the aftermath. Read the “Strahd Dies” section of the ending chapter.This final recap was a short, broad summary of the party’s entire adventure up to killing Strahd.

One last recap! I think the most valuable piece of advice from this series is this-write up a little recap for your players. So, then I had to prepare for the final session! What I prepared: As foretold, they fought Strahd deep within the crypts, fought their way out to locate his tomb, and destroyed him once and for all. So together with their NPC allies, they once more entered into Castle Ravenloft. Sirya and Kara had collected all the prophesied elements to defeat Strahd. And, they defeated a longtime nemesis-Sir Alexander, a vampire spawn. They worked with the Keepers of the Feather to save the children kidnapped by the werewolves. The party successfully retrieved the sword of sunlight and dealt with its curse. This is the final post for that series, and a post about my first time ending a campaign! First, let’s fill in the gaps. Pre-injury, I was working on a series of posts that talked about my session prep for each session. We finished our Curse of Strahd session this weekend!
