Morely and Ireena share a moment on the eve of the march to Ravenloft, and the morning of the 10th day of training is spent meeting with others and celebrating with a Heroes' Feast.

Some of the Revenants arrive, rats attack the defences as the gate, and an alliance seems to form with Zuleika as Miraqen divines her husband's presence within the walls of Ranveloft.

The training within the walls of Vallaki continues. The wereravens start returning from delivering their messages across Barovia, some with good news, and some with news of an evacuating Winery.

The training of the armies begins. With the Vallaki gates closing a small group of guards check Lake Zarovich for any villagers.

The Dusk Elves are reassured and agree to fight alongside the crew, only for Strahd to appear and remind everyone who rules this land.

Plans for releasing the Dusk Elves from the Vistani Camp crash to a halt when the crew realise that they're not sure if they can all be trusted. Maybe it's best to focus on Luvash first...

With Rictavio's back to the wall and hat on the floor, his true identity is revealed. How can Rictavio help the adventurers, and what does this mean for the battle ahead with Strahd?

A quick change of plans means training for Ireena starts today! An excited Esmerelda directs the crew to a suspicious carnival wagon parked at the Vallaki stockyard.

The news is broken to Ireena and the anguish of what to do with Ismark's body sets in when there seems to be no obvious way forward.

With the Abbot on their side and with plans for building an army going smoothly, it was only a matter of time before Barovia (and Strahd) pushed back. Grab your tissues, this is a rough one.
