+>“Last time, you left the Village of Barovia behind and set out along the Old Svalich Road, following a clue about Mad Mary’s daughter and a toymaker’s village. It’s been a while for us; it’s been a while for them too.”

+>[!quote] Time Skip
+> For days, you walk the same road through the same gray forest beneath the same pale sky. The sun never truly shows itself — only a lighter patch in the clouds.
+> Once, you pass a farmhouse with its door hanging open. No bodies, no blood, just plates still set at the table and a cradle gently rocking in the draft.
+> Another day, you hear distant weeping in the fog. By the time you reach the sound, you find only a single shoe in the mud.
+> The mists are patient. The road is patient. [[Barovia]] does not seem surprised to see you.
+> “Before we zoom into the present scene, each of you: give me _one small moment_ from these days on the road. Something your character did, or a way we saw them handle the weight of this place.”
+> “We pick up on the **third morning** since you left the village of Barovia…”

+>The fog has been thick for hours, muffling even your own footsteps. When the wind shifts, a new smell rolls through it — hot iron and rot, fresh enough to sting.
+>A shape stumbles out of the mist ahead of you.
+>Or… what’s left of one.
+>Its flank is torn open, ribs glittering slick and white beneath shredded muscle. Its left eye hangs loose by a thread of sinew. Steam rises from its wounds in slow, choking billows.
+>The animal takes two trembling steps toward you, lifts its head as if asking for help,
