Ezmerelda d’Avenir

You round a corner to find a cloaked woman cleaning a silvered rapier by torchlight, her eyes sharp and measuring.

3

Rahadin

Footsteps echo in the corridor before a tall elf in dark finery appears, a chorus of phantom screams following in his wake.

4

1 black cat

A black cat slips from beneath an archway, tail curling as it vanishes into a shadowy stairwell.

5

1 broom of animated attack

A broom sweeps an empty hall — then turns sharply, bristles lowering like a soldier leveling a spear.

6

Roll 1d4+1 animated flying swords

Rusted blades drift from a weapon rack, rising into the air and aligning themselves to strike.

7

Blinsky toy

A wind-up monkey clangs its cymbals from atop a dusty banister before slowly turning its painted grin toward you.

8

Unseen servant

A candelabrum floats down the hallway, its candles still dripping wax though no hand holds it.

9

Roll 1d4 Barovian commoners

Servants hurry past, eyes downcast, clutching trays of covered dishes that smell faintly of iron.

10

Roll 2d6 crawling claws

From beneath a tapestry, severed hands skitter into the hall, nails scratching across the flagstones.

11

Roll 1d6 shadows

The torchlight flickers — and from the walls themselves, your own shadows peel away to stand against you.

12

Roll 1d6 swarms of bats

From the rafters above, a torrent of screeching bats dives, wings whipping the stale castle air.

13

1 crawling Strahd zombie

A decayed torso drags itself across the marble floor, leaving a wet smear in its wake.

14

Roll 1d4+1 Vistani thugs

The creak of a door reveals Vistani leaning on the railing of a gallery, knives catching the torchlight.

15

Roll 1d4 wights

Armored figures stand at attention in a dark hall — until their heads turn in perfect unison toward you.

16

Trinket

On a cracked windowsill rests a small silver locket, still warm to the touch despite the cold air.

17

Giant spider cocoon

A man-sized bundle of silk hangs from a high beam, faint tremors running along the strands.

18

1 Barovian witch

In a firelit chamber, a hunched woman stirs a black cauldron, muttering curses into the rising steam.

19

Roll 1d4+1 vampire spawn

The balcony doors burst open, and pale, snarling figures vault over the railing to land before you.

20

Strahd von Zarovich

At the far end of the grand hall, a tall, pale man stands by the window, wineglass in hand, smiling as if at a private joke.
