About the adventure

"Whatever hunts in these woods, itā€™s not just an animal... itā€™s driven by something deeper, something primal." In "The Beast", youā€™re thrust into the dark and mysterious heart of Barovia, where a curse from the past still haunts the present. The villagers of Orașnou whisper of something monstrous lurking in the Quivering Forest, a creature that could threaten the lives of everyone in the valley. The storm is closing in, and the village needs your help to recover lost furs and a missing hunterā€”but what you find in the forest will be far more dangerous than anyone could imagine. šŸŗ Face a terrifying creature: Uncover the truth behind the legendary beast that stalks the cursed woods. šŸŒ² Navigate a haunted forest: Brave the dense, dark Quivering Forest where danger lurks around every corner. ā¤ļø Unravel a tragic love story: Piece together the heartbreaking past of a family torn apart by a deadly curse. šŸ§­ Investigate eerie mysteries: Follow chilling clues to track down a missing hunter and uncover the dark secrets of the Vaduva clan. āš”ļø Engage in thrilling combat: Test your mettle in intense encounters against creatures that are more than meets the eye. šŸ•µļøā€ā™€ļø Decipher deadly secrets: Use your wits to solve puzzles and untangle the twisted history of the curse. ā›ˆļø Race against a deadly storm: Time is running out as a vicious storm approachesā€”will you make it out alive? As you track the hunter, Laszlo, through the wilds, youā€™ll uncover a story of love, betrayal, and a dark curse that has stalked a family for generations. The deeper you go into the forest, the more unsettling things become and what starts as a simple rescue mission becomes a deadly hunt! In "The Beast," nothing is quite what it seems. The cursed woods are full of deadly secrets, and itā€™s up to you to uncover the truth before itā€™s too late. Can you survive the hunt and save Orașnou from the horrors that lurk in the shadows, or will you become just another victim of the forestā€™s terrible curse? Get ready for a pulse-pounding adventure where every step brings you closer to The Beastā€”and the truth.
