Picture shows our Strahd Mini I’m a PC not a DM but wanted to write about our first session of the final fight against Strahd after play this campaign for 3 years. Firstly our fighter (Johnathan)who has the sunsword managed to get a hit on him only to see it did nothing but those with high passive perception saw a red flash coming from the high tower where the heart was. Our sorcerer (Otti) dimensioned doored to it with our Rogue (Magpie). This caused Strahd to flee the rest of the party in the courtyard. Our wizard (Nova) grabbed the barbarian(Kat) and followed suit leaving the paladin (Pet), cleric (Hep), bard (Aleera), Johnathan and Ismark in the courtyard. (DONT SPLIT THE PARTY)
In the tower as group A start attacking the heart they notice Strahd climbing up the walls towards them. The Halberds that were chained to the walls suddenly spring into life and begin attacking them.
Gr oup B in the courtyard panic when they see a large explosion come from the tower (Otti cast Fireball) Aleera with the use of the Doss Lute casts fly on Johnathan to get him up there asap.
In the tower Strahd manages to pull Kats shadow from her and create his own creature that hits Kat and reduces her strength by 3 (not good for a barbarian). He proceeds to grapple and attack Otti.
Back in the courtyard Aleera casts Polymorph on Pet turning him into a giant eagle who grabs Hep and Aleera and Ismark jumps on the back off to fly up to the tower. They arrive just as Otti falls unconscious and is about to be thrown off the edge by Strahd. Pet back in human form manages to lay on hands to bring Otti up who then casts lightning bolt at the heart again (wild magic roll gives him max damage on all successful attacks)
Aleera brings up her Aura of Life preventing max HP from being reduced and giving resistance to necrotic damage. Nova, Kat, Magpie and Johnathan wail on the shadow and halberds as Otti focuses on the Heart. Hep heals as much as she can.
One last lighting Bolt from Otti destroys the heart and summons a unicorn!!! Strahd flees the tower but not before 4 vampire spawn appear.
All hostiles in the tower are despatched and now the group have to work out where in Castle Ravenloft Strahd is hiding.
This all took 4 hours of pure panic, frustration, jubilation, devastation and thrill.
