 The Illusion of Strahd in the room then disappears like normal.
-What do we do with Ireena?
+=== What do we do with Ireena? ===
 Now that Strahd has Ireena, what is he going to do with her? Well, I have him planning a wedding. He sends out invitations to the NPCs of Barovia, including the players. At the wedding it is implied that he will make Ireena into a vampire spawn unless the party can save her. This gives a time limit on them - which moves the story along nicely. But where is Ireena held until then? You can decide later. She might be with Strahd at the foretold location. She might be somewhere else in the castle - it is bad luck to see the bride before the wedding after all. Depending on the tone of game you want to run, she might already be a vampire spawn. It gives you a lot of options. I'm probably going to have her at the foretold location, charmed, but alive.
