Objective
Escort Ireena Kolyana safely from the Village of Barovia to St. Andral’s Church in Vallaki, where she can find sanctuary from Strahd.
What the Party knows
- Ismark Kolyanovich asked the party to escort his sister Ireena to the fortified town of Vallaki, where she might find safety from Strahd von Zarovich.
- Strahd has “claimed” Ireena and marked her as his own. She bears two bite marks on her neck from previous encounters with the vampire lord.
- Ireena is a capable fighter and refuses to be seen as merely a victim. She insists that her journey is “diplomatic and humanitarian” and that the party serves as her escorts and bodyguards.
- Ismark believes St. Andral’s Church in Vallaki may offer Ireena hallowed protection from Strahd’s reach.
- The party encountered Strahd himself at the River Ivlis Crossroads, where he acknowledged his interest in Ireena but agreed to let her depart—for the moment.
Leads
- St. Andral’s Church is located in Vallaki and is said to offer protection from the undead.
- The Blue Water Inn can provide lodging while the party arranges Ireena’s sanctuary.
- The roads between Barovia and Vallaki are dangerous, with wolves, werewolves, and other threats stalking travelers.
