Hi all, I need some advice on how to progress the story, which is nearing the end. My players have scavenged almost all of Barovia, collected 2 of the 3 items and allied with Van Richten. Ismark and Ireena, whom Strahd seeks, is fairly safe within a church in Vallaki. The church is protected by the spirit of Saint Markovia, undeads cannot enter.
They have seen all areas, except for Yester Hill and Ravenloft. My idea was to get the players distracted, have the druids animate the tree and after that, the tree will march on Vallaki. It acts on the will of Strahd, so I wanted it to attack the city, along with a few berserkers. They would capture Ireena and bring her to Ravenloft, thus forcing to group to finally confront Strahd.
But I am worried that this might be too much? My group is level 8 and they are smart, but a fight with the tree and Strahd afterwards is a lot.
I need advice on bringing my group to Ravenloft, for the final confrontation. They already hate Strahd, but it will be cool if they go there for plot-reasons
