Ludmilla Vilisevic, 2nd Phase (Patreon)

In proper Dark Souls fashion, most of the major villains in CoS:Reloaded have a second combat phase to keep things varied and interesting. Just when you think Ludmilla's down for the count, the music swells, her attacks change, and her facade drops to reveal her preferred strategy, her real face; in this case, a fiend that creates voids of darkness against any sources of light and peppers her victims with crystalline deposits of her misty form like needles. Can your players outthink her, the most arcane of the Brides of Strahd?
