St. Andril's Church

This church, currently under the care of Father Lucian Petrovich, is a church for the Morninglord. The grounds here are sanctified thanks to the bones of a saint, St. Andril, but these remains have been removed recently, causing the previously sanctified land to no longer be protected.

Vampire Attack¶

On their way out of Vallaki, the party stoped by here, at the behest of Irena and Lucia. Despite the recent Vampire Spawn attack, every candle inside the church was lit. Since the citizens of Vallaki were mostly unaware of the fact that the church grounds were no longer sanctified, many of them had gathered here, probably to seek shelter from the attack.

Upon entering the church, the group saw Father Lucian giving what appeared to be an impassioned sermon to a packed house. Thorn and Thistle approached slowly, trying to figure out what was going on, only to realize that the carpet was drenched in blood, seemingly coming from the pews. The people in the back row all appeared to be dead with their hands held together in mock prayer by daggers.

As Thorn attempted to usher Thistle quietly back toward the door, Father Lucian preached frantically about how the people of Vallaki had previously faithfully served the Morninglord but are now lost, at which point a woman, started laughing and stood up. She looked over toward the party and asked why they were trying to leave.

This woman was woman, one of Strahd von Zarovich’s wives, and she admitted to having St. Andril’s bones stolen from the church so that she and the Vampire Spawn could put together this little “party.” She again invited the party to stay, and when they continued leaving, she told Irena that as long as she defied Strahd’s wishes for her to join him, things like this will continue to happen.
