The Infernal Six
The party is known as the Infernal Six. The name is established and recognized — they are known by it, even though the roster has changed since it was earned.
Members (as of session 26)
| Character | Player | Class | Status |
|---|---|---|---|
| Myra | Ash | Tiefling Wizard | Active. Werewolf — she knows. Kyra restored and beside her. Carries the inert Heartbound Key. Transformed session 26 — took the Pendant of Nyss off Kyra as the wolf and threw it clear rather than destroy it; the pendant left with Vess. Was inside her own showing at Olvenka and holds the new reading firsthand |
| Taara | Ailey | Zephyrian Ranger | Active. Remembers the happy half of her marriage to Strahd (session 24); lost her memory of the party being trustworthy. Told by Myra (s26) that she banished Logi — she has the fact without the memory and does not know it was taken. Partly rewritten at the s26 breakfast into Strahd's version of Vess's death |
| Khione | Vivian | Tabaxi Paladin | Active. Freed from a Memory Vault orb (session 14). Born blind; granted permanent ten-foot sight by Strahd (session 24). Carries one yellow butterfly of Taara's that will not leave (s26); used it to hunt and calls it luck |
| Yager Blut | Lorenzo | Human Blood Hunter | Active. Joined session 22 after holding Vallaki's north gate. Survivor of the previous party Strahd destroyed. Partly rewritten at the s26 breakfast |
| Mark | Dennis | Human Barbarian | Active. Butcher; joined session 23. Beheaded Vess without knowing what the stag was. Bonded to the Cleaver of the Last Cut (session 24) |
| Logi | Lars | Elf Druid (wildfire, literally) | Active, back in the castle and known since the s26 reunion. Killed the Ashenwood titan; level 5; fire in both hands and no water. Told by Strahd (s26) that the fire is the titan's own flame and that Strahd shares it; the candle at breakfast showed the whole table he cannot put his own fire out. Blood contract discharged on both sides; the forced confession still binds |
Departed & Inactive
| Character | Player | Class | Status |
|---|---|---|---|
| Vess | Solen | Velkrin Monk (she/they) | Left the party session 26. Woke as the stag with her ears cut off, walked out of Castle Ravenloft, reached the Pendant of Nyss outside and became a fox; the party let her go. Her memory thefts (Nyss, Myra's friendship) were never addressed. Was DM-run as an NPC from session 23 on — Solen absent |
| Corvin Draegor | Lorenzo | Human Fighter | Died session 21. Strahd returned his soul; whole for one moment, he chose to stop. The armor collapsed |
| Azhurielle Vaelstorm | Maaike | Elf Sorcerer | One-time guest this arc. Down since session 23; with Khione. Return open |
| Pipwick | — | Gnome Wizard | Inactive since session 7. No backstory |

Party Compositions
Three main lineups across the campaign. Short-lived characters (Pipwick, session 7 only; Azhurielle, guest in sessions 23–24) are not counted as compositions of their own.
| Era | Sessions | Lineup | Boundary events |
|---|---|---|---|
| The founding four | 1–10 | Myra, Corvin (human form), Vess; Logi from session 3 | Myra, Corvin, and Vess taken by the mists into Death House (s1); Logi found in the ring of ash (s3); Corvin falls at the windmill (s8); ends with his restoration as the armor in Berez (s10) |
| The Infernal Six | 11–21 | Myra, Corvin (armor form), Vess, Logi, Taara, Khione | Taara joins (s11); Khione freed from her orb (s14) — the six the party name comes from; ends with Corvin's death at the Blue Water Inn (s21) |
| The castle roster | 22–present | Myra, Logi, Taara, Khione, Yager, Mark | Yager joins at the north gate (s22); Mark joins at Ravenloft's gates (s23); Logi banished to Ashenwood (s24) and back in the castle by the end of the s25 epilogue, at level 5, known to the party again from the s26 reunion. Vess was present but player-absent — DM-run as an NPC this era, not counted in the lineup — and left the party in s26 |
The Three Anchors — Dissolved (session 21)
Corvin's restored form was anchored by three artifacts: Will in the Heartbound Key (Myra), Body in the Ring of Attraction (Logi), Soul in the Pendant of Nyss (taken by Strahd in session 14). In session 21 Strahd drew the soul from the pendant and returned it to the armor; Corvin used his one whole moment to stop. The key went cold, the ring went still, and the discarded pendant was picked up by Myra in session 22. All three items remain with their holders. None of them anchor anything anymore.
Update (as of session 26). The pendant no longer sits with Myra. The wolf took it off Kyra and threw it clear of the castle wall rather than destroy it; Logi's summoned eagle caught it; Vess reached it on her way out and left with it. The key and the ring are unchanged.
Current Location
Inside Castle Ravenloft (since session 23). Myra and Kyra arrived in session 24. Azhurielle is inside the castle.
Update (as of session 26). The full roster is in the castle and everyone knows Logi is back — the reunion happened when Myra's transformation woke the house. Taara, Mark, and Yager never physically left for Olvenka; they woke in the castle with the day's gifts real on them. Vess is gone — she walked out as a stag on the morning of session 26 and left as a fox. At the breakfast that ended the session, Strahd stated he wants to travel his lands with the party. No answer was given, and whether the party leaves the castle is undecided.
