To quote another fantastic comment i found: Through the crystal ball you see a figure at the organ. His fingers flutter over the keys with adept precision. As his face fades into view you recognize The Demon Strahd, however this is not the calm visage of the monster you have encountered before. He stares intently into nothingness as memories flash through his mind. His cheeks peel back into a grimace as a tear rolls down his face. His clenched fangs betray the beast he has become. The organs play more forcefully, an attempt to hide his howls of anguish. Louder and louder the organs screams as Strahd tears at the keys, body convulsing as he plays. The music crescendos as a name is screamed out in sorrow and hatred "Tatiana". Strahd's eyes glare at the heavens as rage-filled tears stream down his face. He hammers the keys with a ferocious intensity as he spits curses at every God you know, and more. Abruptly, he stands, hateful eyes fixated on you. He knows you're there. The organ continues it's cries spurring on its masters madness. "This world will burn. All will know my anguish. My hate will be an unknowable ocean and you shall all drown in my flame!" Strahd bellows in an animalistic fury. (make a Wisdom save or lose a sanity point) Slowly Strahd begins to reassemble himself. His shoulders cease shuttering. His eyes once again become like steel. His postures resumes a portrayal of his measured arrogance. The click of his heels echo as he strides out of the hall. The Demon of Barovia awaits you at his castle. Enter if you dare.
Make him a mythic monster that has a round two that’s has the necromancer/fighter combo, because all that mythic monsters are is just big monsters with a stage two to their stat sheet
been playing this before every session for an almost 4 year long (players went far off the rails, finally trying to end strahd now). played it last time mid session when they finally sat down for dinner with the count. when they heard the music there were audible groans, in a good way.
"Begone, monster! You're a blight on Barovia?" "A blight? Oh...foolish, foolish little hunter. A blight? Is that how you describe the sovereign Barovia? Fool. I AM Barovia. I carved its very name from the blood of thousands. It's great towers and walls from their bones. I am the land. I am no more a blight on Barovia than you are." "To hell with you, Devil! You're nothing but a thief. Everything you have, you took from others." "A thief? Do not anger me with such bad comedy. I took what was rightfully mine. If only my accursed brother had not taken her away from me. She was mine!" "Souls are not for anyone to own, Baron. You chose this nightmare. Not Sergei, not Tatyana. And now, I will end it." "I will grind you down to dust so fine, they will have nothing left to bury, fool." "Begone, monster! Trouble the spirits of my ancestors no more!" -A little dialogue I came up with between Strahd and a PC I'm planning on playing, a Bloodhunter from a family who escaped Barovia and have been trying to reclaim their home
I know strahd is a villain but honestly those lines seem strange from an immortal vampire. Someone of such power would surely see a mortal as lesser, like an animal and one does not swear revenge or hatred of a gnat for biting, that is what they do.
If you also wanted to you could use this for the Fetid Wedding (Out of the Abyss) maybe with some more distortion to represent the Demon Lords Corruption.
I made it in FL studio. I tried converting the MIDI file to a Sheet Music. It kind of worked. Kind of. You can find it in the description in this video here: th-cam.com/video/kgvuwVLeRek/w-d-xo.html
Hi Tom, love this and we have a wedding coming up in my game soon! Is this track available for purchase as a file to use in my digital home game (so that I can upload it to Roll20 for my players to hear)? Personal use only for a campaign I'm running with my friends. Thanks!
i move my organist into the ravenloft castle two paces to the right. in the room there are two chests, a baroque pipe organ, a suit of armour and a sword.
Ireena Kolyana; if Strahd is lucky enough to charm her, turn her into a vampire spawn, and then seal her in the catacombs of Castle Ravenloft for the rest of time

Damn that gave me shivers. I'm going to steal this.
@@the_average_canadian ya holy shit I got chills too
The Devil* Strahd
It's even the perfect length with the right timing for the music, too.
You got this from the castlevania one didn’t you but yes it is a damn good hook to add some pizazz to an already regal yet dark character
Gonna Mod my Strahd to be a Mad Maestro Necromancer/Fighter in his Undeath with Expertise in Performance. Next time I play another campaign of CoS.

This will be played on my Curse of Strahd sesion :D
It finally hapend this week. Awesome.

Amazing.
You're amazing!
sounds like circus carousel music; adds the characteristic deep basses of cathedral organs👍
Is there an extended version? i need this.
Same, it fits perfectly
According to the description, this *IS* the extension.
@@youtubeuniversity3638 thats unfortunate...
I may compose an extended extended version, in due time.
@@TYRiddler Please do!
Thats awesome, thank you!
This is really cool
I play this at the start of every session, it slaps

Pirate it.
Beautiful.
As I allowed to use your strahd music for my strahd campaign
Feel free to do so, I'm only happy to make others campaigns as fun of an experience as mine!
Awesome!

CHILLS
YESSSS
Where this image is from? i wanted it in full resolution, i love it!
It’s from the book. It’s the art illustrating him playing this at the organ in the dining room
Gonna need an extended remix with a beat behind it, chief.
Очень Красиво👍🎹.
Ooh, very nice!
2022 Saudades 🤍✝️
I want to run Curse of Strahd just to use this song.
Good.
Awesome stuff, where would I use this in the campaign however?
I used it at the dinner party! Had Strahd playing the organ as they entered.
Reminds me of the Lacmirosa scene in HxH.
I want to like it but I don’t want to mess up 444
Its okay now you can come back and help towards 777
Reminds me of the blood moon ball from star vs the forces of evil
🖤🖤🖤😄😄
Dare I inquire as to who the bride is?
Ireena Kolyana; if Strahd is lucky enough to charm her, turn her into a vampire spawn, and then seal her in the catacombs of Castle Ravenloft for the rest of time
@@bobertson_jr No! By Tyr, I will NOT allow this!
@Jean Pagette :(.....I don't have any players. All I can do is play by myself on these videos unless somebody else decides they want to join in.
@@menslady125eif2590 What do you mean 'play by myself' lol
