Slack and Slash

Replete with dread secrets, Death House seems to possess a deadly hunger, and the heroes are its next meal! Andrej fights face-to-knob with a killer door; Dragomir finds new uses for his spear; and Ralston foolishly reveals his deepest fear. Also… a letter from the Darklord himself?

NOTE: This episode incorporates material from "Fleshing Out Curse of Strahd: Death House," a 3rd-party expansion  by MandyMod (find it here: https://www.dmsguild.com/product/345700/Fleshing-Out-Curse-of-Strahd-Death-House)

Out of character but no less intense. David and Scott champion genre role-playing; Scott vows to mansplain Gothic horror at a later date; David distinguishes chocolate from fantasy (or something); both guys sound extra-white whilst raving about Lovecraft Country; and other ineffable, uncanny topics of discourse.

It's our title with the most numbers yet!!! The trail of their recently pilfered silver leads Ralston, Andrej,and Dragomir to an abandoned, indestructable, and very haunted house on the edge of town. Tempers flare and teeth are bared as the house begins its sinister work upon the heroes. 

The first of a three-part story arc, it's a great place to jump in.
