These are the characters in my current Ravenloft campaign. Who will survive and what will be left of them?
Human Horizon Walker ranger
Lady Hursthall is a famed explorer in the Land of the Mists. She is has status, wealth, and fame...but not all is well in the House of Hursthall. Lady Hursthall's teenage son has gone missing, and has possibly has been abducted by fell agents. Lady Hursthall has gathered the rest of the party to help find her son.
Margot's Dark Secret: Stolen Valor. Margot Hursthall passes herself off as a heroic explorer, but the true history of her expeditions is one of brutality and exploitation.
Human Battle Smith artificer
Strangely, Viktorina looks exactly like Viktra Mordenheim did in her early twenties. Something odd is afoot there; surely, this can't be a coincidental resemblance. Viktorina is accompanied by her "manservant" Romulus, who is actually a construct she created and endowed with life.
Viktorina's Dark Secret: Grave Robbery. In the past, Victorina violated the sanctity of the grave to aid her hellish research.
Dhampir Undead pactron warlock
Lucian Frost was raised in a cult devoted to Azalin Rex. He serves as Lady Hursthall's occult specialist; their relationship is an odd one--he appears bound to Margot Hursthall in some way, enough so that others refer to Lucian as her "pet warlock." The only person Lucian seems to truly care for is Essie Tenfang, though the nature of their relationship is yet undefined.
Lucian's Dark Secret: Cold. An attack by an undead creature has left Lucian with muted emotions and an inability to experience pleasure.
Shifter Battle Master fighter
Essie is a sharpshooter who keeps her past shrouded in secrecy. When asked about her history, she invents wild tales. Anyone who is in her company long enough is sure to realize that her tall tales are mutually incompatible. Essie's best friend is Lucian Frost, though how and when they met is unknown.
Essie's Dark Secret: Divine Punishment. Essie was struck by lightning—evidence that she has earned a god’s personal disfavor.
