Death House (Curse of Strahd)
1st Level Adventure
You can run Curse of Strahd for 1st-level characters with the help of this optional mini-adventure, which is designed to advance characters to 3rd level. Death House is the name given to an old row house in the village of Barovia. The house has been burned to the ground many times, only to rise from the ashes time and again—by its own will or that of Strahd. Locals give the building a wide berth for fear of antagonizing the evil spirits believed to haunt it. (Consider running this adventure at 2nd level, unless you’re out to kill the party. You do you.)

But this year it’s different. Bodies are turning up. Teenagers are running for their lives. There’s blood on the water.
