How to go on with your life:

"Where you said is the Death house? at the left? Thanks guys. Right it is then" :P

A couple of clarifications:
- No rolls to recognize castle Ravenloft or Barovia by name. You simply don't know them.

- You can ask whatever you want of Rose and Thorn during the hike or when they stop and show the house.

- The kids won't enter the house until the monster is killed.

- The map of the house: I'm unable to use the map provided by the adventure as is, cause it has all the secrets on it; it's the DM's map. As such, I'll use a crude sketch without the many nice furniture and details.
Is that OK for everyone? I could do the extra effort and recreate the map with tables, chairs, rugs, desks etc. But I don't think it's necessary.
If you find a secret door behind something, then I'll put that "something" on the map.

- There are encounters but many are avoidable. You don't get XP by killing things but by completing milestones.

You're going to a big house that has seen better days. You're not to set food (at least according to plan) to Barovia and you're not getting in Castle Ravenloft even if all of you decide you want to abandon the kids to the monsters and visit it for sight-seeing.

It's just something I assumed your characters would ask "where are we?!" and since villages aren't well known, a castle name would be more useful.
Your characters can assume that if you don't know castle Ravenloft, you are far away from places you know.

I had been consistently spelling it GNORRIC, IC, but I see that my earlier OOC mention left out the N. I will edit to reflect that.

In case I need a roll for Gorric searching the exterior:
