Welcome to the orphanage. This module was designed to be inserted into the main Curse of Strahd campaign, in the centralized town of Vallaki. This chapter provides Vallaki with some additional pacing before the events of St. Andral's Feast and the Festival of the Blazing Sun. By moving Milivoj, the gravedigger, to a separate location, players have more time and incentive to explore and interact with Vallaki's various plot hooks and NPCs.
In this adventure, players search for Milivoj at the orphanage, only to discover he is incapacitated by an unexplained illness. As players look for a cause and a cure, they will also find the shrewd headmistress, Ms. Belasco, and evidence of abuse among the orphans. However, as they investigate, players will soon find that things are not what they seem and that the orphanage's true evil lies with a possessed child named Felix.
It is entirely possible to run St. Andral's Orphanage as a stand alone adventure or incorporate it into another campaign. NPC names can easily be changed to better fit another setting. As a one shot adventure, St. Andral's Orphange is designed for players of levels To provide an immediate hook for players, Milivoj is now a suspect in Cedrik's murder.
When players find Milivoj too sick to answer their inquiries, they'll have to search elsewhere in the orphanage for answers. I would personally like to thank both my editors and the entirety of my followers on the subreddit for your ongoing support and feedback. I love you guys from the bottom of my heart.
