| Nightwyrm Spire |
The party returns to their clockwork fortress for a short time, before travelling to Sigil. There they hire a unit of guards to protect their fortress and themselves from possible retaliation. They also take the opportunity to do some shopping.
Broch uses his legend lore spell to know more about the Pool of Souls and its guardian, Urishtar the Shadow Dragon.
The PCs decide to cash in on the favor Strahd owes them, and travel to the vampire's dreams through the Dream Gate of Arvandor. When they meet the Lord of Barovia, he asks Tarlyn to give him the seven coins. He believes that he can harness the power of the coins, and become as powerful as Shadowthrone himself. The party takes the night to decide.
Tarlyn is almost about to let Fate take that decision for him, when the Spider Queen herself appears to him, and proposes a new deal. She will take the coins, in this way gaining a foothold in the Shadowfell. When the right time comes, she will assist the PCs in their battle against Shadowthrone, and she will use the Shard of Pure Evil against the god of death. The same Shard that Shadowthrone used against the Raven Queen to steal her power. In return, Lolth promises she will give Tarlyn and his companions a "piece of Limbo", the primordial chaos from which anything can be created. Even a new world. Tarlyn accepts the deal, and gives the coins to Lolth.
When the party regroups, opinions are divided about Tarlyn's decision, but it is too late to go back. Strahd keeps his promise, and accompanies the PCs to Nightwyrm Spire, the lair of Urishtar.
