** So I have just returned from an abortive attempt in barovia.
** I had a role where I have been sent to retrieve the staff
** of elemental power by the king of cragstone to be used in
** a ceremony to pacify the earth spirit. The staff was stolen
** by the enchanter and smuggled out. My char believed the
** mages knew where the enchanter was and hence hunted
** them. But the char did not know that the staff itself
** was magical and the king was using him for his own
** politics. It required immteraction for my char to
** know that the staff was magical!

Before a Fortified Hillock
  A large mound of earth has been pushed up here, forming a strategically
planned barrier to the village just beyond. Behind the earthen barricade
stand the gates -- heavy, massive, fortified iron gates that require much
muscle-power to move -- and beyond them you can see the faces of numerous
huts, most looking as rugged as the hills before you. In the distance,
people move about within the secluded village, and smoke drifts up from
various campfires and cookstoves. The gruff sound of barbaric voices drifts
to you on the wind, as does the occasional burst of laughter and clang of
metal.
