This is a wonderfully dark and fun concept to add into any Curse of Strahd, Ravenloft, or any Gothic and/ or Horror setting, although with some tweaking you could have it fit into any setting.
I thoroughly enjoyed working this into my game and the players really got an unexpected kick and a rather emotional and reflective moment, which is a wonderful thing to have in the game.
This product gives you the story, as told by a Vistana, which is well written and enjoyable to read, as well as stat blocks for the characters, and the items and ingrdients (both literally and figuratively) to play the quest, which is great and gave me a lot of room to work it into my game. This worked really well for me, and I sure it would for many DMs out there who might pick this up, however I do think it could have been presented a little more coherently, as an actual questline to help less experienced DMs. This in no way lessened my enjoyment of the quest, but is the reason I am rating it 4/5, although the concept itself is certainly 5/5 and works with the Barovian lore wonderfully.
Thank you. Good hunting and happy gaming :)
