"Before I Go" from the Youtube Audio Library
Beginning and Ending Song from Youtube Audio Library:
"Everything where it needs to be" by Nat Keefe & Hot Buttered Rum
Dick Tracy- Private Investigators
Jane - Pilot
Walters- Engineer
Some random stings and sounds are my own composition, the ones which aren't are:
opening song: "The Black Cat" by Aaron Kenny.
Closing song, and during the monologue: "Spirit Of The Dead" by Aakash Gandhi
Also, I accidentally left the face tracker on my camera on, so there are white bars on my screen. Nothing I can do about it in post-production, so we're just going to have to live with it.

CORRECTION: The Shield Block reaction does not split the damage. Instead, both the target and the shield take equal damage. Thank you to the audience for pointing that out!
Also thank you Blaine Simple for editing the audio for me. Thanks!: youtube.com/channel/UC7Je57UJURMIx6lrXr3zO4g

CLARIFICATION: I also want to bring up. It was revealed to us that if we say his name "outloud" Strahd can hear. Whenever our characters are thinking, I as the writer, will say Strahd's name to avoid confusion. Verbally, in character, we know not to say his name. Also, when I have to tell the audience something as a narrator. That's not in character either. I will tell you guys if we ever say his name in character. When Esmerelda is talking about Strahd, I'm telling you she's talking about Strahd, but she doesn't use his name.
