History:
- Information
-
- “I and my companions are called Lightbringers. We slay undead wherever we can find them. We’d heard Barovia was thick with the horrors.”
- “My companions include Thendrick, faithful servant of Pelor, and Mathilda, a fighter of great renown.”
- “It is also my quest to fi nd the legendary Sunsword. A mighty weapon against evil, especially undead, it is most potent against vampires. It fell out of histories long ago, but I’ve determined that it was last seen and used in these lands. The townspeople say someone named Madam Eva would know the sword’s whereabouts if anyone does.”
- “Thendrick and Mathilda wanted to check out the church to the northwest. The townsfolk believe that’s where the zombies arise. Everyone told them to talk to Madam Eva first — she’s some sort of wise woman who lives west of town, the same one who apparently knows about the Sun-sword. But they wouldn’t listen, the arrogant clods. They went to the church, confident they could handle whatever they found without needing advice. That was three days ago. I haven’t heard from them since, and haven’t been able to venture beyond this square.”
- “Had you not arrived when you did, I doubt I could have held this last wave back. The zombies never breached the barricades before.”
- “If you’re here to destroy zombies, our aims likely coincide.
Will you help me find my companions, escape town, and talk to Madam Eva?”
- If asked about Strahd, Ashlyn replies: “I’ve heard the
townspeople curse with that name. I thought it merely a local equivalent to the evil eye. Why—does it have some significance?”
