Overview
This mansion has walls of plastered stone that display many scars where the plaster has fallen away from age and neglect. Drapes cover every window, including a large, arched opening above the mansion’s double entrance doors.
People come and go from the mansion at all hours during the day. Guards bring criminals cited for “malicious unhappiness.”
What the party knows
- Haunted, of late, according to Baron Vallakovich (see The Haunting at Vallakovich Manor)
- Men and women arrive carrying bundles of twigs, which are piled about the mansion’s grand foyer until the construction of the wicker sun for the Festival of the Blazing Sun gets under way.
Visits
- Session 12
- Session 13 - The Lost and The Found (Neyavr 4, Morning) - The party raided the Baron’s library, discovering genealogical records including the death of “Ireena Strazni” eighteen years ago. They also learned about the mansion’s haunting and obtained various intelligence about Vallaki’s history and the Baron’s affairs.
- Session 15 - Killing Izek (Neyavr 5, Midday) - The mansion’s kitchen became the site of the poisoned wine planting operation. Victor Vallakovich cast Greater Invisibility on Fig Fleetfoot, who infiltrated the kitchen while Varnish Gothorn (disguised as Amal, the former head butler) distracted the cook Tereska with a fabricated errand. Fig successfully planted the poisoned Purple Grapemash No. 3 among Izek Strazni’s lunch provisions. The cook unknowingly included the bottle in Izek’s meal delivery, which he consumed that evening at Lake Zarovich, leading to his assassination.
