As our party found themselves face to face with the man that helped end the resistance against Strahd before, they find themselves outnumbered by his undead cohorts. As things began to turn in their favor, Vlad made a quick escape out the window to set up another defense - a larger defense. Upon overcoming the dangers inside, the party come face to face with long dead remnants of the Silver Scales - now undead and turned against them. With some quick thinking by Aurora to focus their attention on the one controlling them, the team manage to slay Vlad and release the dragons to wherever they'll go. They manage to locate the second artifact - or what's left of it and some nifty trinkets.
