Fortunes of Ravenloft

I am running I6 Ravenloft in OSE soon, I wanted to use the Tarokka deck but the original adventure doesn't actually use it at all so I have transplanted some of the Tarokka deck onto the playing cards so I can still use them as a handout in the game rather than just using playing cards. Fortunes of Ravenloft Location of the Holy Symbol - Draw one card from Places and Modifiers This card is a symbol of great power. It tells of a powerful force for good and protection against the forces of darkness. Location of the Tome of Strahd - Draw one card from Places and Modifiers This card tells of history. Knowledge of the ancient may help you understand a foe. Location of the Strahd von Zarovich - Draw one card from Places and Modifiers This is the object of your search! I see darkness and evil behind this card! It is a powerful man whose enemy is light, and whose powers are beyond mortality! Location of the Sunsword hilt - Draw one card from Places and Modifiers This card is good for you.

Blind someone with it. Fill it with something heavy and swing it. Fill it with snakes and gift it to an enemy. Crowbar: Feed it to a Rust Monster. Remove rocks in mines. Hit someone with it. Throw it at something. Garlic: Cold remedy Reduce blood pressure Stink up your breath Boost flavour  Grappling hook: Hook someone to something. Use it to set off traps. Grab something underwater or far away. Pull down a chandelier Hammer: Knock imposingly upon a door Remove nails Fix a bent blade Break through ice Holy Symbol: Intentionally cause offence Start arguments Open particular doors Repel the dead... maybe? Holy Water: Baptise someone Cleanse evil from an object Consecrate the ground Quench thirst in an emergency Iron Spikes: Pin something or someone stuck  Stab a vampire Carve a
