Strahd Von Zarovich

Encounter 1
Strahd distracted the characters with a heard of zombies before arriving in a carriage. The carriage was driven by an elf and Dorian sat bound and blindfolded in the passenger's seat. The elf was laid back and amused watching the scene playout in front of him.
 * Where: Outside of Death House

Strahd told the characters that he was the one who brought them to Borovia, stating that he had a plan, or didn't, and would be watching them for his own amusement. In this world, he was a god, and nobody could argue otherwise.

He charmed Numaria before leaving her, wanting, outside of his carriage.

He warned the characters to avoid the woman referred to as Ireena. To prove he was serious, he tore   Dorian   from the carriage and tore his throat out after telling him that   Dorian   had not outsmarted him, he just had no reason to punish him for what he was doing.

Encounter 2
The party was attacked by a group of dire wolves. During the battle, Strahd appeared, calling for Ireena but using the name Tatyana. Ismark held her back against her will, infuriating Strahd. Strahd told Ismark he'd have killed him already if he didn't believe his beloved would never forgive him for the act.
 * Where: Village of Borovia Cemetery
