Ireena has been bitten twice by Strahd Von Zarovich. The villagers are afraid of her and avoid her. Although she appears mild, she has a strong will, and she aids the party as best she can in saving herself. She doesn’t remember her early past. She doesn’t know how she came to Barovia or where she came from. Moreover, her encounters with Strahd are fuzzy memories, thanks to his vampiric charm. She tells the characters that wolves and other terrible creatures attacked the house night after night for weeks. The burgomaster’s heart couldn’t stand the constant assault, and he died three days ago. Strangely, since his death, the house has not come under attack. She says that no one from the village has been brave enough to help Ismark the Lesser take Kolyan Indirovich to the cemetery for proper burial. Ireena asks the characters if they would be so kind as to help Ismark deliver her father’s body safely to Father Donavich, the local priest. After accompishing his burial, both she and Ismark “the Lesser” Kolyanovich accompany the characters in their travels. Strahd had been paying nightly visits to lreena Kolyana, the adopted daughter of the village burgomaster...
