#DnD – Ravenloft Lacks Stat Blocks – Ivan and Ivana

Want some real horror for D&D? Check out Grimdark.

This pair aren’t described as being very scary at all. I’ve upped the implied CR (making them a deadly encounter all by themselves for a 1st level party) but the real challenge in taking them on would be the poison garden, or the house of automata.
