Expedition To Castle Ravenloft Published


Mist smothered the the streets. The marooned buildings formed an archipelago of crumbling masonry in a gray, hopeless sea.

Structures at the village edge were abandoned, burnt out hulks. The choking charcoal odor couldn’t overpower the underlying sickly-sweet smell of carrion. Claw marks raked some of the vacant homes, ominous not merely because they were visible, but because of the five-fingered, hand-like shape they suggested.

Further inward, most buildings survived. Doors were barricaded with tables, broken carts, and smashed furnishings. Windows were shuttered and planked. But was anyone saved? Silence was thick in the fog-bound streets, like cotton stuffed into every ear. Nothing living stirred, nothing breathing walked the streets.

But where the living were absent, the newly dead shambled.

And hunger, too, raw and unstoppable, stalked the village, multiplying with each new corpse that kicked and shuttered its way back toward animation.

A hunger that could never be slaked.

An infection that could never be stemmed.
