The Heroes travel to Yester Hill, where they must battle evil druids and savage berserkers. Having destroyed the dark cabal, they recover the "seed" they came looking for, a magical gem belonging to the Martikov family. As they take a breather, a figure on a nightmarish horse, clad in dark fineries, appears: Strahd has come once again to mock the Heroes!
With no regard for his life, Ulfgard attacks him, but the vampire lord sneers at him, summoning a pack of dire wolves; then he disappears. The Heroes slaughter the wolves, and complete the exploration of the druidic mound. Thancred finds a magical axe protected by vile blights. Ulfgard, left alone to mend his wounds, hears whispers in the wind, and is guided to a barrow holding the magical spear of an ancient barbarian lord.
Having rested for a night, the Heroes make their way to the ruins of Berez, where they hope to find a second gem. On their way, they first stop at the Martikov Winery to deliver the first gem, and a few days after they spot the ruins of an abandoned mansion, Argynvosthold.
In the mansion, they fight a few giant spiders, but when they enter a chapel dedicated to the Morning Lord, three undead revenants bar their passage. The Heroes try to communicate with them, but the undead monsters are out for blood. After a difficult battle, the Heroes emerge victorious.
