The party wakes up after Kevdormu had nightmares. He realizes that Sierra Del Panadero gave him faulty pie, yet convinces him that it's just a flesh wound. It's gonna be fine. Meanwhile the others discover that the Vistani camp is empty. They don't see anyone and some of the caravans are gone. Grayson Black finds tracks of bare foot humanoids coming from the forest and suddenly disappearing.
Trying to figure out what happened, the party gets surprised when suddenly arms sprout from the ground. A bunch of undead crawl from under the ground and start attacking the party. With some intense fighting, they succeed in killing them. After they notice a raven on the cart near them as they hear a faint yet sourceless clapping sound. It flaps his wings and flies in the direction of the Castle. Sierra Del Panadero starts flapping her arms, trying to follow the raven until she realizes she can't turn into a bird. Big sad. Still the party is a bit spooked by the undead encounter and moves on to the road.
At the next crossroad, they find the ruin of a small chapel. Hoping this might be part of the prophecy, the party investigates. They find 2 stone altars, one depicting a Sunburst, the other a sickle and moon. Grayson Black believes that this must be altars to the Morninglord and Mother Night, although he only knows them by name and which symbols they use. The party decide to take a short rest at the ruined chapel.
Walking a few hours more, they see a windmill and the party approaches Old Bonegrinder. Kevdormu charges at the house, fueled by his addiction to dream pie. A woman, believed 30 years of age, opens up, but Kevdormu doesn't give a fuck. He charges inside, demanding pie!! Bella seems friendly though, quietly explaining that she lives here with her mother and sister Ophelia. At this point, Narmo notices a raven making a lot of noise, and Bella starts complaining about it. She offers to get rid of it, but secretly tries to speak with it. Grayson Black and Kokmadon casts some detection spells. Narmo can't speak with the raven as Bella throws a kitchen knife first. Kokmadon learns that the knife was actually a Magic Missile spell and Grayson Black finds out that Bella has a faint Fiend aura on her, at which point he draws his crossbow.
Bella explains that her mother had an awful deal with some forest witch and cursed her. That's why she has such an aura. Grayson Black is suspicious, but can't catch her in lying. At this point of time, grandmother Morgantha returns home. When asking what we are doing in this mill, Kokmadon gets an idea and takes the deed of the mill and asks what they are doing in THEIR mill. Morgantha surprises anyone when she takes out a deed of the mill, saying she is allowed by Strahd himself to do whatever she wants here. Sierra Del Panadero and Kokmadon start a legal battle with the ladies when Grayson Black spurts upstairs. The two sister suddenly stands before him, casts some sort of spell when everyone but Sierra Del Panadero turns into frogs. She uses some clever tactics yet the coven of hags is too strong for her. This gives Grayson Frog the opportunity to hop upstairs, finding the first level not so interesting.
The party wakes up near the road, all feeling something amiss with themselves. They recall that the hags took something from them, and keeps it in a vial in their kitchen. They also notice that Ireena Kolyana is gone. Fuck... Sierra Del Panadero uses a lizard form to scout the windmill and learns that Ophelia is literally grinding bones in the pies while Bella dances upstairs. She also sees small clothing, meaning there should be children somewhere. When returning, they make a plan. Sierra Del Panadero will try to sneak inside and get the vials while the others create a distraction. This distraction exists out of shooting an arrow in the window of the 3th floor with a love letter of Kevdormu for Bella. After that, he will serenade for her. I don't know how, but it works!! Sierra Del Panaderocan steal the vials and the party returns safely. They discuss whether they should destroy the windmill as well. It is a lame discussion, talking about the children inside and safety of their won etc. Eventually they agree to destroy the windmill with eldritch blasts. Somehow this works as well. But as they return to Grayson Black and Narmo, the hags appear behind them. And they are not happy...
