Welcome to the second episode of 'Warriors of Good Chaos: The Return of Strahd'! Our adventure continues inside a derelict mansion on the outskirts of Barovia called 'Durst Manor'. Finn, Gnus, and Tard - the three remaining original members of the Warriors of Good Chaos - have been joined by Crail and Cedric, and are all on the way to Barovia looking for lost friends and family (except for Cedric, who's just kinda there) xD. The team was lured into the mansion, and after a bit of exploration, they discovered that it holds an evil that they are not prepared to face - physically or mentally. As the house holds them captive, it begins to play tricks with their minds, instilling mistrust and enmity among the friends. The team has just discovered the skeletal remains of the two children that they had thought lured them into the mansion in the first place, and laid them to rest in coffins that had been prepared for them in the basement. The discovery of the skeletal remains hit the team hard, and instilled both a renewed sense of purpose and desire to fight, and also a renewed sense of fear, anxiety, doubt, and darkness. Today's story begins after the Warriors of Good Chaos faced a mimic disguised as a door, and several ghouls, and are just finishing up a short rest.

The Warriors of Good Chaos are a motley team of adventurers from across the forgotten realms, who have joined forces in friendship against evil. Join our quirky, wholesome,  mischief-loving adventurers as they take on the demiplane of Barovia, finding humor amid fear, light in times of darkness, and proving time and again the power of friendship over adversity.
