tsr09497 - AD&D - Ra.. - Property Is Theft!

Raul stands face to face with you beside the roaring fire. Drawing forth one of his keen edged knives, he takes your left hand
and slices it open with a single deft slash of the blade. He then opens his own palm in the same manner and both of you
clasp bleeding hands.
Raul wraps a scarf around the members and says, "Hands bound, blood mingles. I cannot repay you for your act, but I will
call you brother (sister)."
While the rest of the Vistani gathers round and chants, you enter a dream state, in which you feel joined to Raul, linked by a
powerful and invisible bond. Indescribable images flash before your eyes before you regain consciousness. Perhaps only
minutes had passed. Perhaps it was hours. Still facing Raul, your hand and arm are covered with blood.
When at last the two hands separate, they are covered with blood, but the wounds are miraculously healed over. All that
remains is a wide purple scar which creases the palm, for ever identifying you as giogoto.
Any Vistana can readily identify the giogoto's affiliation with the Camii, simply by touching the scar and sensing its origins.
The hero (and his compatriots) can take shelter from any other tribe in the Kaldresh Tasque. In the future, the giogoto will
never be lied to or swindled by any Vistani; and should he consult them for assistance, he will be given a little more
information than he asked for.
The blood rite opens the door to many interesting adventures involving the Vistani, should the Dungeon Master care to run
an extended campaign in Ravenloft. The Dungeon Master should consult Van Richten's Guide to the Vistani for more
information about the blood rite.
Summoning the Mists
After the doroq, Marcella will perform readings for the heroes and answer their questions (as evasively and cryptically as
possible, of course). If the Dungeon Master wishes to extended their sojourn in Ravenloft, then Marcella may point them in
the direction of a new adventure. If the Dungeon Master wants to conclude the adventure in Ravenloft, read or paraphrase
the following.
Looking up from her cards, Marcella squints at you with her intense dark eyes.
"Your homeland and ours are separated by a veil of Mists, impenetrable to all save at certain times of the year. During the
second night of Lunaset, the veil is thinnest, and with the aid of a potion one can walk from one world to the other. At
midnight tonight, when the moon at its fullest, you must drink the potion I give you and walk into the Mists. I cannot promise
where they will take you, but if you are lucky, they will perhaps transport you home. "
As the moon rises over the mountains, and after all the heroes questions have been answered (although perhaps not to their
satisfaction), Marcella gives each of them another one of her foul-tasting potions. As the draught takes effect, the heroes nod
off to sleep. In their dreams, the heroes glimpse the Vistani dancing around the camp as a cool fog rolls up from the river,
blanketing everything in its clammy embrace.
Summoned by the Zarovan, the Mists of Ravenloft return the heroes to the town where they began the adventure, or any
other location in the original campaign world where the heroes need to be for their next adventure If the Dungeon Master
