Overview
The castle's chapel: broken pews in the dark, a window that lets in no morning, and an altar under a thick grey quilt of dust. One of the Tarokka's places, and a room where Strahd may wait for the end.
Pews in rows, some split, some fallen. A tall window of coloured glass, black now. A saint whose face has been cut away. An altar so deep in dust it looks soft.
Resting: Risky: a rest here can be interrupted.
