- After retiring from the fight, our heroes began to rest up. Thanks to Bophir, the curse on Zeltron was removed and Zeltron went to bed to get a long rest.
- Fake also left the Vistani camp, and upon arriving at Vallaki was asked by the guards to go speak with Lady Fiona and escorted him to their house. There, Strahd wearing commoners clothing with his regular clothes cut up and soaked in blood had a talk with Fake. Fake agreed to go with Strahd to Castle Ravenloft.
- Zeltron and Bophir saw Fake leaving with Strahd and rather than go speak with him instead had a group meeting. They discussed what they saw, unsure of whether Fake could be trusted anymore. They then decided to go look for the mad mage.
- As they approached the lake they encountered a clockwork creature who designated himself as Glass and who’s purpose was to heal. Our heroes invited him to travel with them.
- They traveled by boat to the base of Mount Baratok. As they were walking around they encountered an elk that turned into a man and immediately started attacking our party, calling them servants of the dark lords. After a bit of a fight he suddenly disappeared.
- Our heroes traveled up the mountain, and thanks to a well thought of use of Detect Magic were able to find some invisible thing, they believed the spell to be the Mordekainen’s Magnificent Mansion spell. They managed to dispel the spell, hoping the man would come out but he didn’t.
- Bophir then flew up and saw the man looking at them from afar, but he then transformed into a bird. Asking what to do Zeltron told him to fireball him, so Bophir happily did.
- Zeltron then rushed over to the man and used the scroll of revivify on him after having tied him up.
- Our heroes managed to speak with him, but he kept insulting them, telling them that he wouldn’t let their dark masters corrupt him. After some investigating they determined that a spell of Greater Restoration would work, and although Glass had the spell prepared he was out of 5th level spell slots, so they rested the night in a nearby cavern.
- The next morning Glass cast the spell but he felt it was resisted. Upon doing some investigation they discovered the man was under the effects of a Mind Blank spell. He tried to escape but was counterspelled. The group decided to wait one more night.
- The next morning Glass cast greater restoration, restoring the man to his sanity. He introduced himself as Mordenkainen, and thanked our heroes, giving them each a charm of heroism. He told them about his fight with Strahd, that although he lost the battle, it was something other than Strahd himself that caused him to go crazy. The black mists tried to swallow his mind but he cast mind blank on himself. After teaching Bophir a few spells he left our heroes.
- Our heroes investigated a light that Zeltron had seen the past couple of nights, they encountered a ruined tower. Entering, Zeltron used detect magic and found something invisible, which was then dispelled by Glass. Our heroes saw a Will-o-wisp. It seemed non hostile. Zeltron also saw a wooden chest, which he proceeded to open causing a large group of zombies to crawl out from the ground. Glass used his destroy undead ability, destroying most of them, as the heroes finished the remaining few.
