#if all goes according to plan i have CONFIDENCE that our bard will have zero moral qualms selling people out to the enemy in exchange for

awright so ive got leo dilisnya as a supporting character in my game (partially bc he's interesting and partially because my players need a vampire they can bone since strahd is strictly off limits), right. rather than dying from starvation he's basically been comatose in his crypt under wachterhaus for centuries. players are trying to revive him bc he'd be a good ally and a source of hot gossip on strahdy-poo.

what i really want so BAAAD is for strahd to find out that leo is kickin it again (i keep forgetting about scrying now) and eventually like, ambush the players in person on the road (perhaps with leo in tow) and tell them the full story from his perspective about how leo killed a bunch of innocents and attempted a coup (rich coming from strahd) (yes leo fucking lied to them and said strahd attempted to overthrow him not the other way around), and basically offer them a whole crazy amount of gold in exchange for leo. i just KNOW my players are gonna fight over it

even better if it's AFTER rictavios true identity is erroneously revealed, strahd captures him, and then appears to personally thank the players for their help by giving them tons of cash. i love manipulating fictional characters
