A good option would also be a PC who took any or several dark gifts from the Amber Temple. It’s important to understand that only a PC that has demonstrated to be ruthless, cruel, strong, and classy (or high born) would be considered. If you, as the DM consider that a PC has proven himself worthy of being Strahd’s successor, you should follow this plotline. If they comply with Strahd, he will let them through the mists and the adventure is over. We’re again talking about a higher level party. This is under the threat of laying waste to the poor Barovians in the villages. The count senses the adventurers have grown too strong so he offers them a way out, unharmed. In this case, the group should accept the TPK and move on.Īnother alternative is Strahd’s Negotiation. If the party is defeated in the high range of levels 8-10 by Strahd or any other threat, it really makes no sense to create a new party of adventurers to continue an adventure that was almost over. This is the “sad” ending for the module, either Strahd wins in a final fight, or the fight never takes place. It only has two possible outcomes, either Strahd prevails or he is defeated. The final confrontation with Strahd should be a deadly affair, a difficult challenge impossible to circumvent. There are many ways in which this adventure may finish, however it does, you should be ready with an epilogue a recount of things that happen in the story and any known characters after the adventure ends. The goal of this part of the story is to bring closure to it. The module spans level 1-10 although it can also end sooner, or if the DM chooses it, expand it to higher levels.īy definition, en epilogue is the section of a book that explains whatever happened after the story concluded, it’s an afterthought.
