This again keeps the player's reliance on him to a minimum, while still allowing him to be useful when he's needed. He can be off doing other things while they are doing their quests, and therefor available only when you want him to be. I'd suggest not having him join the party, unless they need the extra healing he can provide. Otherwise he'll just turn into the campaign 'Wiki' for the players, which you don't want. Also, he knows a lot, but not everything - he should be a bit of an unreliable narrator. Rictavio can give them information, guide them and make suggestions, but shouldn't just tell them what to do. The PC's still need the autonomy to make their own decisions. He is the Sage, the Yoda-character, and very powerful - but you have to be careful not to let him take over your plot.

The trick with Rictavio is not using him as a Mary-Sue. Find the Sunsword in a dead village, drowned by a river and ruled by one who has. Find the Holy Symbol of Ravenkind in the west, at a pool blessed by sunlight. Find the Tome of Strahd in a place of bones (possibly inside Castle Ravenloft). On the wedding night, Ismark and Rudolph/Rictavio busted in, Ismark mercy killed Ireena (a request sheРІР‚в„ўd made before should she be taken) and Rictavio was taken prisoner. They've since retrieved the sword, and know where the holy symbol is but need to find a way to get it from it's keeper. Bound by FateUnder aging storm clouds, the vampire Count Strahd von Zarovich stands silhouetted against the ancient walls of Castle Ravenloft. Find Count Strahd von Zarovich and destroy him, so you can leave Ravenloft and return to Westgate. In the epilogue narration, Ireena gave herself up to Strahd to stop his nation-wide cruelty, and agreed to marry him. This episode helped direct them, focus their attention, and will drive the story to its conclusion. Welcome to Season 2 of RealmSmithРІР‚в„ўs РІР‚ВInto the MistРІР‚в„ў this episode features special guest Noura Ibrahim as Ezmerelda and Matthew Lillard as Rictavio Into the Mist is an interactive live-play Curse of Strahd campaign. Until that point, the players had just been moving from quest to quest around the valley. Gather the other two artifacts, meet me back here, and we will finish this together.' With you here now, fate has brought the pieces into place. I have been studying Strahd for many years, and felt the time has been drawing close to confront him. After they discovered the children the werewolves had kidnapped, and Hadrick and Monty had been turned into werewolves themselves, Rictavio arrived. Rictavio would appear again during the Curse of Strahd Partys raid on the werewolf den in Barovia. Rictavio is a disguise I use, my name is actually (spoiler). As the Curse of Strahd Party secured their own escape from Vallaki, Rictavio left alone. I'll tell you more then.' After they went and retrieved it from the Abbey and met him there, he invited them into the Tower, and basically told them (in lots more words): 'You've shown me trust by bringing this item here, I'll return that trust now. he DID tell them some lore about the valley, and interpreted some of their other card results, using the guise of a 'travelling collector of stories, this is stuff I've picked up along the way and by exploring Barovia myself.' later, when the group got into some shenanigans and had to make a quick exit from town, he assisted them, and told them 'Find the Tome of Strahd (he'd previously interpreted the clue as to where it was for them) and meet me in two days at the old tower on Lake Balinok. I had the players meet him in Vallaki, but he kept his disguise. And you are invited.He was our ally as well. The master of Castle Ravenloft is having guests for dinner.

Only the howling of the wind fills the midnight air. A lightning flash rips through the darkness, but Strahd is gone. He knew they were coming, and he knows why they came - all according to his plan. Strahd's face forms the barest hint of a smile as his dark plan unfolds. Far below, yet not beyond his keen eyesight, a party of adventurers has just entered his domain. The wind's howling increases as he turns his gaze down toward the village of Barovia.

Rumbling thunder pounds the castle spires. Under raging storm clouds, the vampire Count Strahd von Zarovich stands silhouetted against the ancient walls of Castle Ravenloft.
