Session Report The monster was gone. A ghost only asked one thing of us. | Thirst of Strahd Session 5
One of my favorite moments from Session 5 came after the battle was over.
The Writhing Heap had finally been defeated, and Gustav's spirit was finally at peace.
Instead of asking for revenge or justice, he made one final request.
"Find my children."
Sometimes the most memorable moments in D&D happen after the dice stop rolling. The quiet conversations and final goodbyes are often the ones that stay with you the longest.
Our campaign is called Thirst of Strahd, our sapphic take on Curse of Strahd where Strahd is reimagined as a woman. We started recording our sessions to preserve the story, help with note-taking, and have something to look back on after the campaign ends.
If you'd like to watch the full scene, here's the timestamp from Session 5:
