If you wish to host a truncated version of the adventure that takes about five to eight sessions to play through. In this idea, the PCs start in the Village of Barovia as normal but already have Strahd's Invitation and start at Level 5.

Land of Barovia

The only locations that you need to worry about are: A. Old Svalich Road through K. Castle Ravenloft. Add M. Mad Mage of Mount Baratok north of the Village of Barovia somewhere in the Svalich Woods.

Village of Barovia

While it's up to you to add the Death House or not, the remainder of the Village of Barovia will have some major changes. The Blood of the Vine tavern is changed to feature most of the content of the Blue Water Inn in N. Town of Vallaki (minus the Wachter Brothers) and Wereravens from the W. The Wizard of Wines Winery. Instead of delivering wine for the Fortune of Ravenloft if it is in tavern, the wereravens simply challenge them to find where it's hidden within the inn.

Ismark pleads with the party to kill Strahd rather than asking them to take Ireena to Vallaki. Donavich still gives the PC information of Ireena's origins but simply suggests Ireena stay in the church for the time being.

Rictavio and his wagon should be included in the Village of Barovia. Rictavio's purpose is the same, to research Strahd and eventually get his revenge on the Vistani. Rictavio still retains his pet monkey, Piccolo.

You can keep Morgantha as is. Instead of the O. Old Bonegrinder, her and her daughters reside in Castle Ravenloft's Cauldron Room (K56) replacing the Barovian Witch coven there.

If you do Death House, remove any references to the Old Bonegrinder.

Tser Pool Encampment

The only real change would be Madam Eva's fortune reading. When deciding where the Fortunes of Ravenloft are located and Enemies of Strahd, remove any cards that lead the party outside of A-K. But include the cards related to the Blue Water Inn and Rictavio.

Kasimir Velikov lives amongst the Vistani here within his hovel, his goal is ultimately the same, to revive his sister. Instead of the Amber Temple, Kasimir somehow has his hands on a Scroll of True Resurrection.

Arrigal in this case is the story teller who speaks of the mage who fell from Castle Ravenloft. He is still a servant of Strahd and will ambush the party outside of the encampment if they come across any of the Fortunes of Ravenloft.

Castle Ravenloft

Ezmeralda should be a fixed encounter in one of the emptier rooms of Castle Ravenloft.

The K56. Cauldron Room's witch coven is replaced with the Night Hag coven from the Old Bonegrinder. K55. Element Room should contain the cooking supplies and grinder the night hags use for their pastries.

K75. Emil turns on the party unless the Fortunes of Ravenloft designated the Beast as Strahd's Enemy. The card originally refers to Zuleika, Emil's mate. Instead of Zeleika, Emil will ally with the party against Strahd.

K78. Brazier Room contains only the colors: Red, Orange, and Yellow as the rest of the flames are to locations we removed.

If Ireena gets to K85. Sergei's Tomb, you could potentially do Something Blue special event from the S. Village of Krezk. Rather than a pool, Sergei's pure spirit appears and whisks away Ireena/Tatyana.

Milestones

• Players start at level 5.
• Level up when they find the Tome of Strahd, Holy Symbol of Ravenkind, or the Sunsword
• Level up when they forge an alliance with Strahd's Enemy (if there is no ally just level up if their fortune was read or if they defeat another boss in Castle Ravenloft).
• Level up when they destroy the Heart of Sorrow, Cure Doru of his Vampirism, Reunite Tatyanna and Sergei, or revive Kasimir's Sister
• Level up when they defeat Rahadin, the Night Hag Coven in K56 or Strahd's 3 Vampire Spawn Brides in K86.
• Level up when they get to Strahd's Location (prior to the fight).

Fortunes of Ravenloft

Remove the cards that reference locations and characters you do not meet in the truncated version of this adventure. Master of Coins originally is the attic of the Blue Water Inn, now moved to Blood of the Vine. Beast originally referred to Zuleika should now refer to Emil instead.

Remove the following from Treasure Locations:

• 1 of Swords
• 3 of Swords
• 5 of Swords
• 7 of Swords
• 9 of Swords
• 3 of Stars
• 4 of Stars
• 5 of Stars
• 9 of Stars
• Master of Stars
• 2 of Coins
• 3 of Coins
• 8 of Coins
• 1 of Glyphs
• 2 of Glyphs
• 3 of Glyphs
• 5 of Glyphs
• 7 of Glyphs

• 9 of Glyphs

Remove the following from Strahd's Enemy:

• Donjon
• A. Ghost
• A. Horseman
• B. Marionette
• A. Tempter
• B. Tempter

Add the removed cards from Strahd's Enemy back before doing Strahd's Location.

The Secrets mechanic is something I stole from Rime of the Frostmaiden: Icewind Dale. Its a set of secrets that the players can get at random or choose from, and most of the secrets have some kind of effect on the story or is related to the story in some way.

I've ran OotA twice, and I've always felt like there were too many NPCs. I killed them off overtime. The main issue was my players let me know they didn't feel important to the story because it was happening around them and they didn't feel integrated since they were from the surface.

1d12	Secret	Description	Character Replaced
1	Avatar of Murder	You are possessed (or maybe cursed?) by the spirit of Buppido, a talkative keen minded killer who believes they're the living incarnation of the god Diinkarazan - an avatar of murder offering bloody sacrificed to create a path of carnage for his people to follow to glory. During certain moments in the adventure Buppido will take control of your body. Buppido is convinced he (thus you) cannot be killed and has become fearless.	Buppido
2	Polymorphed Royalty	You are actually elven royalty from the kingdom of Nelrindenvane in the High Forest. Your crown was usurped by the evil wizard Terrestor, who trapped you in your current form. In realty, you're simply mad, touched by delusions created by an otherworldly entity. When anything were to challenge this delusion you act irrationally and violently.	Prince Derendill
3	Ambassador of Gauntlgyrm	You aren't just a scout, you are a scout that works directly under the dwarven king of Gauntlgrym. If your identity were to be discovered, a bounty on your head would ensure even street beggars from the Underdark would attempt to kill you and claim your head.	Eldeth Feldrun
4	Hidden God	You always seem to be lucky. You always have the exact amount of coin needed, you never seem to lose a bet, you have keen insight on where to go. It's unnatural, that's simply because you are actually the good-aligned god (maybe even another character's patron) accidentally summoned by the spell that Gromph Baenre cast. If the time came to it, you can sacrifice yourself to bring all your party members back to life with 1 HP, and reward them all a heroic inspiration. But once you do this, your physical body ceases and you return to the realm of gods.	Jimjar
5	Punished by God	You did something that your patron disliked. Now your constantly living with the worst luck. The worst thing now is you were captured by drow. If someone fails a check around you, somehow it's your fault (narratively), an example would be: sneaking, your flat foot trips the person in front of you making a loud noise. Bad things that occur may happen in closer proximity to you or after you say something that leaves an ill omen.	Ront
6	Fungal Corruption	You were not supposed to be caught by the drow. You were captured and accused of murder that you don't recall. Your fate is sealed, you maybe trapped in the slave pen right now, but ultimately they'll sacrifice you to Lolth to make an example of you once they get you to Menzoberranzan. Your character doesn't realize they're infected with spores that are causing you to become mad. During certain moments in the adventure, you may combust into a spore servant killing you on the spot.	Sarith Kzekarit
7	Enlightenment	You realize there is no good in killing anything, even in self protection. People wanting to hurt you is merely it is what it is. What path can killing something eventually lead to? Your character chooses to never kill anything. Not for hunting or self defense. Of course you can eat something someone else killed, but your hands are never bloodied. You might be built different or just suffer from some form of insanity.	Shuushar the Awakened
8	Telepathic Communicator	You were born from a psonic experiment created by mind flayers in the city of Cyrog. You have the ability to communicate with plants, animals, and people through your telepathic sense. If your identity gets out, everyone wants your ability for themselves, and if word truly gets out mind flayers may return to recapture their experiment.	Stool
9	Moonlit Menace	You are infected with the curse of lycanthropy, specifically you are a wererat. You struggle with your innate instinct and urges. Its only a matter of time until the unseen moon cycle transforms you once again. Lycanthropes for the most part are hunted and killed even if they're not inherently evil. At some point in the adventure your body will unwilling transform into a wererat. While transformed you gain the statblock and abilities of a wererat.	Topsy
10	Moonlit Menace	You are infected with the curse of lycanthropy, specifically you are a wererat. You struggle with your innate instinct and urges. Its only a matter of time until the unseen moon cycle transforms you once again. Lycanthropes for the most part are hunted and killed even if they're not inherently evil. At some point in the adventure your body will unwilling transform into a wererat. While transformed you gain the statblock and abilities of a wererat.	Turvy
11	Zoological Society	You are part of a Zoological Society ran between Moritsta Malkin and Saladis Vadir. You are tasked with collecting three monsters for a zoo: Rust Monster, Winged Kobold and a Fire Snake. You can capture them traditionally or through their hearts. But they must be alive.	Amarith
12	Eye of the Beholder	You serve Xazax the Eyemonger, you were tasked with one job: collect the eyestalks of rival beholders so that Xazax can medically attach them to himself. Xazax has a lair in an old mineshaft abandoned in the Underdark. He is paranoid and not very friendly to outsiders.	Peebles

*Enlightenment does not mean Pacifist. It just means you don't kill things. If a monster that has 10 HP left and you down it, you do not go for a killing blow instead a knock-out. Even if the monster regenerates hit points to the party's dismay you don't kill it.

I'm saying rule of cool, he has Yythrn smash through the glacier and rise up into the air as a flying city once more.

This isn't a full compilation of locations just from what I've read from Misty Fortunes and Absent Hearts, Fair Barovia, Ravenloft Gazetter, Ravenloft Forebidden Lore and Expedition to Ravenloft. I looked at House of Strahd to see if there is a lot of differences but it turned out Curse of Strahd is closer to House of Strahd then Expedition to Ravenloft.

Ch. 4: Castle Ravenloft

Same layout but a lot of rooms were changed thematically, I'll list some of the bigger differences.

• K25 some story telling was removed. Originally two thrones were here, then one was removed leading to one throne looking off-center. The missing throne belonged to Strahd's mother which he destroyed when he became a vampire.^((Expedition to Ravenloft))
• K32. This area had 7 preserved maid corpses that crumbled away if touched.^((Expedition to Ravenloft))
• K35. Statues possessed by spirits instead of a pile of rats shaped like a statue.^((Expedition to Ravenloft))
• K42. Gertruda is given more characterization.^((Expedition to Ravenloft))
• K45. The Hall of Heroes features Lady Vey Rallen, a ghost of a knight of the raven who was slain by Strahd but willing to help them against evil.^((Expedition to Ravenloft))
• K47. There is a hidden safe behind the portrait with antique women's jewelry.^((Expedition to Ravenloft))
• K50. Journal found between the mattresses by someone named Harp who was baited to come to Barovia by Strahd who was "looking to purchase a piece of land." The journal talks about a woman named Khyristrix who snuck into the locked chamber and offered to help Harp escape. Harp's hidden belongings are a three spell scrolls: wall of force, wall of fire, and Wind Wall.^((Expedition to Ravenloft))
• K54. The three cats are emaciated with glowing green eyes, but in actuality they're imps. There is also a redcap kept as a pet, occasionally fighting the imps for food.^((Expedition to Ravenloft))
• K55. The barovian witches are found in this room instead of K56. Three of the Barovian witches are named Trina, Afina Lucescu and Cristofor. The Cauldron is a Cauldron-shaped Gelatinous Cube. Inside it is half a silver key which allows anyone to use the portal in the Brazier Room. There is a podium for a book called the Codex Advocare which is a spellbook written in infernal and about Ricardus Bakari, the First Warlock. Trina flees to K57 to tell Khyristrix about intruders.^((Expedition to Ravenloft))
• K56. Is a bed chamber where the coven sleeps. Hidden under a bed is Afina's journal which talked about Khyristrix who is a devil that tends the Dayheart and gives the coven its power. ^((Expedition to Ravenloft))
• K57. Features a garden full of slugs and fleshy plants. Referred to the devil's garden. The players are ambushed by Khyristrix, a barbed devil. Khyristrix exclusively cares about her garden which she'll put above all else. Which is made of people transformed into shrubbery. Khyristrix holds the Hellheart Locket which she uses to maintain the Heart of Sorrow ^((Expedition to Ravenloft))
• K60B was removed in COS, but it was a spare room where Rafail (a vampire) and the 4 vampire spawn rested in coffins prior to the PCs attacking the Heart of Sorrow (K20).^((Expedition to Ravenloft))
• K61. Features Nicoramus who was a hero and living weapon (spirit troll) but became a slave to Lucian who holds his oathstone. Nicoramus is immedately hostile but can be persuaded in Auran to just talk.^((Expedition to Ravenloft))
• K63. Most of the wine is spoiled but several more brands are mentioned like Pinot Noir, Cabernet Franc, Petit Verdot, Clos de Dromir, Chardonnay, Merlot, Vintage Merlot, Barovia Red Mountain. ^((Expedition to Ravenloft))
• K65. Wight is hidden in the shelf, and Cyrus tries to get the undead to obey him but ignore him entirely. The Wight attempts an attack but if it takes any damage it'll flee in fear. ^((Expedition to Ravenloft))
• K67. A group of adventurers were killed here and their remains were taken to K84 (crypt 10) and Cyrus regrets not being able to get a trophy out of it. ^((Expedition to Ravenloft))
• K69. Features giant spiders, ettercap, and a golem made of web instead of skeletons. Once the web is destroyed they can investigate the room to find the other half of the silver key. ^((Expedition to Ravenloft))
• K71. Originally this location has a couple of nesting Barlgura, babau and rutterkin. All of the monsters here would summon more monsters similar to itself.^((Expedition to Ravenloft))
• K72. The Shadow Demon's name is Lucian, originally he is possessing the corpse of an aasimar. The aasimar is Fandromar, a paladin of good. When Lucian possesses Frandromar he tries to get as much information out of him as possible. To break the possession the party needs to destroy or remove the necklace on Fandromar's neck. Lucian will fight inside Frandromar's body, once he is defeated, he'll fight in his shadow demon form or stalk the players. Players will find notes that implicate Bildrath as a spy for Strahd. The oathstone is locked away that can free Nicoramus from his servitude. ^((Expedition to Ravenloft))
• K74. One of the cells was once a necromancer's lab, hidden in the black water is a potion, or an alchemist fire, or a wand. ^((Expedition to Ravenloft))
• K75. More insight into Emil who was originally a hunter but got lycanthrophy later. Emil was supposed to kill the necromancer downstairs but got captured and chained to the wall instead. ^((Expedition to Ravenloft))
• K76. The necromancer uses this place to test her new forms of undead. Most of the Strahd zombies are actually made by the necromancer here. There is a spectre here named Stefania that obeys the Necromancer's command. ^((Expedition to Ravenloft))
• K78. The Brazier Room is also the Necromancer's sanctum. The necromancer is named Thredra Aranax who long served Strahd but thinks Strahd doesn't appreciate her, so she plans to betray him (which Strahd knows). Thredra is willing to bargain for her life. She'll give them a ring that blocks Strahd's life draining ability and leads them to Saint Markovia's Thighbone. But in exchange she needs the tongue of a barovian person. ^((Expedition to Ravenloft))
• K84. Majority of the crypts have different names and gimmicks. ^((Expedition to Ravenloft))
• Crypt 20: Sash's journal talks about how despite being Strahd's wife, his heart belongs to another. That her passion for him blossomed to hate. She hates that Strahd has power over her and commands her to love him. She talks about the sunsword being Strahd's bane. ^((Expedition to Ravenloft))
• K88. It's revealed that when Strahd first became a vampire he killed his own parents and regretted it since. The regret drives Strahd back to this tomb where he flies into a fit of despairing rage. ^((Expedition to Ravenloft))
• K89. Removed in COS, it's a primordial temple built to an ancient deity worshiped by proto-humans. It's only accessible off K61 or by breaking the wall in Crypt 24. This cave is overrun by giant ants. Nobody knows about the location of this megalith. The god is only known as the "Blood God" if the characters can read the caveman-like pictograms. May have been the one to give Strahd his pact of undeath. Anyone who is killed on the slab comes back to life with no injuries, and as if they woke up from a long rest. They also can regenerate HP at 5 HP per round for the next 24 hours. The slab only works once per person and 3 times total. ^((Expedition to Ravenloft))

• The large field area under N4. Watcherhaus is a Public Stable owned by the Wachters. ^((Fair Barovia))

• The Vistani encampment is specifically the Velikovna family. ^((Fair Barovia))
• Haunted House or the Markov House in the Thanni neighborhood is actually filled with Abberations causing madness and hallucinations. ^((Fair Barovia))
