At the moment my players are running with the bones making a bee-line to the church. I used u/MandyMod's suggestion that they trigger the glyph of warding with a clairvoyance spell attached along the staircase of the coffin maker's place. As soon as the PCs saw the black horse in the sky and the spawn crawling out of the second-floor window... they knew they made a mistake and started booking it with two spawn on their tails trying to take back the bones.
Now 2 of the party have successfully convinced guards to let them ride behind them on horses towards the church while another 2 are catching their breath hiding in an alley and 1 is searching for Irena near Watcherhaus.
So really I have two questions about how to progress.
- I've seen suggestions made both ways- that either Strahd or the bride Anastrasya greets the party once they reach the church. I know Strahd's entrance would be dramatic but is that too much for just a couple party members to deal with alone?
- ...Maybe this is written somewhere and I just keep skipping it, how are the spawn appearing all over Vallaki?! Aren't they originating from the coffin maker's hut? If my party is making a bee-line to the church with a couple spawn on their tails, are they missing out on the feast's carnage?
My thought at the moment is to just forget the chaos of the spawn behind them and focus on Strahd appearing in the church with Father Lucian's throat gripped in his hand... or try to stall the party and let the chaos catch up to them with the appearance (and subsequent fight with?) the Bride Anastrasya.
Please send Ravens.
Just looking for any St Louis area hair and makeup suggestions! I have naturally curly hair that I want to wear curly. As of right now, I think it would just be for myself (no bridal party), but possibly some other friends and relatives might want H&MU too.
I’ve looked around at the Knot vendor recs and nothing spoke to me, so I don’t know how else to find this kind of thing!
Also I don’t live in St Louis, it’s basically a destination wedding, although we have ties to the area and some family around and I can visit for trials and such.
I guess this could work, but I dont know how much meta would be because both of mine are A0. Even better if A5 VB.

I have my deposit down on my day at St Patricks, which I couldn't be more thrilled about. With everything going on, we are delaying what the priest called our "first meeting" prior to Pre Cana until it's safer to meet in person.
I have crazy social anxiety--especially with authority figures and asking for things--and would just love to know what this first meeting consists of and what to expect if anyone's gone through this process!
Thank you thank you and happy New Year!
Yes, we're searching the web too, but this is what communities are for, right?
I’ve been considering Walter Knoll because I’ve heard surprisingly good things about their wedding services, but my reception venue also recommends Roses and Mint and An Affair to Remember.
Any luck with any of these companies or someone else?
EDIT: Stems also comes recommended by the reception venue

-
Over 90% of our students reside in student dormitories for the school terms, as such staff are required to do a nightly sweep of the halls at 11pm, and a rota for this has been enclosed in your welcome pack.
-
The students are under the belief that the East Wing of Corrigan Hall is closed for renovations, if asked, please stick to this. Do not attempt to enter the East Wing.
-
Our student library is open until 8pm each school day. If a student ever complains of a book’s text appearing upside-down, ask to inspect it, casually remark that it must be a printing error, and immediately take the book to Reverend Foster who will ensure its destruction.
-
The nursery rhyme ‘Mary had a Little Lamb’ is never to be sung in any classrooms in Astoria Hall. If you notice a student singing this song, quiet them immediately, you may use your discretion as to how you do this.
-
We have no student named ‘Freddie Calthorpe’. If you encounter a middle-aged woman who asks to see her son by this name do exactly as follows; avert your eyes to the ground instantly, walk slowly to the nearest classroom and lock the door, when the knocking stops it will be safe for you to exit.
-
All sprinkler systems are blessed with Holy Water, if they ever activate, and a child begins to writhe on the ground, abandon it. Do not attempt to assist it.
-
Students may complain of dark red water coming out of the showers on the second floor of the gymnasium. Blame it on rusty pipes.

Dismiss any rumours of ‘The White Witch’. If a child claims to have seen her, send them to the Headmaster’s Office immediately.
-
Room 18 in the Year 10 boy’s dormitory is triple locked and never to be opened. If you see this door open, evacuate the entire dormitory citing a fire drill. If a child is unaccounted for, do not enter to find them. It will look like an accident.
