	In Barovia they get the general gist of what's up - Barovia is a land always just on the verge of death with lots of spooky shit in it, almost all of which stem from the ruler of the area, the vampire Strahd von Zarovich. For some reason or other he's taken a very sudden interest in one woman in town and is just on the verge of taking her as one of his wives when the PCs show up. Over the course of the next 8 or so levels, the PCs will have to run around the region and deal with werewolves, hags, ghosts, angry little tree monsters, a mad wizard (lots of insane people actually), and lots more in an attempt to find a number of magical artifacts to help end Strahd, as well as any allies as they can hope to get. All of this leads up to either a TPK or the eventual admission/breaking into Castle Ravenloft, a massive castle with even more weird shit in it.

This opens the lands of Barovia to be explored by the party, helping out where they can and destroying lesser evils within the realm before they feel confident to go face the BBEG himself.

Needless to say this adventure is considered the best of all of 5e's adventures so far, the setting of Barovia being large enough to be interesting and filled with iconic NPCs, but still manageable enough a DM can let the party free-roam and be prepared to where they wind up on. though Strahd can be a little underwhelming unless the DM plays him intelligently (so most likely not). Still, it's pretty good, even with the rewrite and a near-perfect adventure with the right DMing and homebrew.
