One of the players in my #Darkon game I am getting up to speed with some text-based RP before they formally join us next week and I was very excited to be able to bring back #TheRavenQueen since they are playing a Shadar-Kai.
Now in the continuity of games I DM, #Strahd is officially dead for good. And something that The Raven Queen did when he finally died permanently was scoop his ass up and so now he has to serve her for eternity or however long it takes him to atone. Whichever comes first.
So there is a scene playing out right now where The Raven Queen is talking to this player character, and I am so tempted to have Strahd himself come in bearing tea, not say anything and just leave. And maybe only drop later who he actually was.
I have to admit this detail is almost entirely because the idea of Strahd being the bitch boy to The Raven Queen for eternity is amusing to me.
Yeah, I'm going to do it. And at some point maybe have this player character run into somebody who gives a description of Strahd that matches the person they saw and see if they put it together.
"From a side door, a human-looking man with long dark hair and severe, angular features approaches carrying a tray. He sets it down at the table, glances briefly at Omyn, and then leaves without a word."
Now I just have to remember to drop in a painting or a coin or something that has a depiction of Strahd on it later on so the player can put together who that actually was.
I actually hinted at it earlier in the same conversation where The Raven Queen is describing what happened when she was finally able to get to Barovia.
The "other arrangements" are not just Strahd but also Ireena's spirit guardians consisting of her dad, brothers and now Qadira who didn't want to pass on yet so they can keep protecting her.
