Story Awards

The Demiplane of Dread. You have traversed the mists and now find yourself in the Demiplane of Dread and, until this story award is removed, you are unable to leave. So long as you are trapped, you cannot participate in any adventure or event that takes place outside of Barovia. Tread carefully during your time here, the Dark Powers are watching.

Escape from the Demiplane of Dread. You are free of the Demiplane of Dread and may remove the The Demiplane of Dread story award. If you later return to Barovia, you regain the story award again and must find a new way out.
If you have the Touched by the Mists story award, you fall into a magical coma upon returning and lose 10 downtime days for each dark gift you possess. You must pay life style for each of these days once you awake to eat, repair gear, etc., from while you were out. Upon waking (if you ever do...), you lose the Touched by the Mists story award.

The True Meaning of Love. You have defeated Esmae Amarantha and once again caged the Evening Glory. You are true warrior of fate and love and are marked as such. You gain advantage on Charisma checks made with followers of the goddess Sûne. You may cross this favor out to succeed on a saving throw against a charm effect that you have failed.
