What happens when a creature that gains significant power from contact with the dark powers(fiends, vampires, Villains, PCs, etc.) leaves ravenloft? Do they keep the powers they gained in ravenloft but stop advancing, loose their new abilities, or take a piece of ravenloft with them and keep growing like a cancer in the material plane? Can things that get caught in ravenloft end up in other settings?
Ravenloft as a setting is funny in that unlike other settings, it overlaps every d&d world. It can appear at any time to suck adventurers and convicts in for an adventure before spitting them back out into their own setting. So crashed star-jammers ships, mad red wizards, and an imprisoned dragon overlord can all appear in the setting, and it's even included in the metaplot of editions with the rise of vecna.
The stuff that manages to escape tend to be world changers themselves(vecna, lord soth, the PCs), so it seems like a breeding ground for arch-villains and strange encounters
