# [[003_20260520 Session 3|Session 3]] ## Session Summary > [!tldr] [[003_20260520 Session 3|Session 3]] > Upon arriving in the village of Barovia, the PCs shopped at Bildrath's and met the patrons of the Blood of the Vine pub. ^summary --- ## Recap from Last Session ![[002_20260513 Session 2#^summary]] --- ## Log ### Scene 1: Caravan Ride ![[003_20260520 Session 3-1779760586701.webp|right|300]] The Granola Gang arrived in [[Barovia (Village)|the village of Barovia]] along the main thoroughfare, Old Svalich Road. As [[Stanimir]] dropped the Gang off, he gave a brief overview of the town. (See [[Barovia (Village)]].) ### Scene 2: Bildrath's Mercantile When the Gang arrived at Bildrath's, - They met the [[Bildrath Cantemir|proprietor]], a shrewd kender who caught Erno's eye. ![[Bildrath Cantemir-1779424350720.webp|351]] - After some haggling by [[Erno Van Iche|Erno]] and [[Zar]], the Gang received a first-time-buyers' 20% discount on his steep prices. (The prices in [[Barovia (the Land of)|Barovia]] are apparently inflated due to the difficulty of procuring merchandise from the Outside.) - Bildrath offered to deliver our goods to Sister Olivenka's home later that day. ### Scene 3: [[Barovia (Village)#The Blood of the Vine (E2)|The Blood of the Vine]] (Main Floor) ```zoommap imageBases: - path: CoS 2026/a-library/image assets/Blood of the Vine Main.png markers: CoS 2026/a-library/image assets/The Blood of the Vine-1779392480260.markers.json markerLayers: - Default minZoom: 0.25 maxZoom: 8 wrap: false responsive: false width: 100% height: 480px resizable: false resizeHandle: native render: dom id: map-mpgdotw2 view: zoom: 0.5273 centerX: 0.406505 centerY: 0.531771 ``` While Erno, Bram, and Andi drank, [[Zar]] approached a group of adventurer types at the center of the room. This sounded like a very important conversation, but Andi's familiar was too distracted spontaneously making up Andi's drinking habits to follow what happened. The Gang likely overheard Zar asking them about [[Gideon]] and something to do with a villager named [[Stoya]]. When Andi tried to order a glass of wine, the prices in [[Barovia (the Land of)|Barovia]] were again outrageous. But they were treated to a fine bottle of red by [[Ismark Kolyanovich]], who was sloshed. He invited the Gang to a party in honor of his sister's 20th birthday celebration, which is to be held on (need date!!). Andi offered to help him plan this party, which he may not remember; he was so drunk. He also mentioned the teachings of a [[Father Luther Petrovich]] in Vallahki, who preaches optimism, not despair. (((I have a note about wolf pelts and don't know what it means.))) ### Scene 4: [[Barovia (Village)#The Blood of the Vine (E2)|The Blood of the Vine]] (Upstairs) ```zoommap imageBases: - path: CoS 2026/a-library/image assets/Blood of the Vine Upstairs.png markers: CoS 2026/a-library/image assets/Blood of the Vine Upstairs.markers.json markerLayers: - Default minZoom: 0.25 maxZoom: 8 wrap: false responsive: false width: 100% height: 480px resizable: false resizeHandle: native render: dom id: map-mpgetwof view: zoom: 0.5646 centerX: 0.314019 centerY: 0.502595 ``` Upstairs, the Gang talked to two NPCs: - **Lazarus Harkov**, a fight organizer. He may prove useful as a source for intel. He expects [[Bram the Quiet|Bram]] and [[Zar]] to arrive the following day to participate in a match. [[Andi]] promised him they would put on a good show. - Manfred, who was weird.   # ## New Quests - [[Investigate the Wizard of Wines]] @{2026-05-20} #todo - [[Retrieve a stolen gem for Stafania Martikova]] @{2026-05-20} #todo #deadline - [[Fight in Lazarus's cage match]] #todo #deadline @{2026-05-20} - [[Help Ismark with Arina's Party]] #todo #deadline@{2026-05-20} ^o826yu
