As a guest within the tenebrous confines of Castle Ravenloft, you found yourself in the unsettling presence of Strahd von Zarovich. Rumors whispered that you were his potential bastard child, and he had summoned you to ascertain the truth.

The initial encounter proceeded with an eerie civility. You conversed with Strahd, sharing fragments of your life while observing his enigmatic brides and his devoted servant, Rahadin. However, one of the brides, Volenta, was conspicuously absent.

Without dwelling on her whereabouts, you retired to the chamber assigned to you for the duration of your stay. Suddenly, the silence was shattered by a piercing female voice.

"Ah, so that's what this worthless bastard they told me about!"

Your gaze lifted to the ceiling, where you beheld a figure draped in shadows. A mask concealed her features, but her eyes burned with a mixture of disdain and... something else. A challenge, perhaps?
