that's what my players heard at the beggining of a one-shot I did not long ago...

All players at lvl 20, there were 4 players and the roles were:
x2 Strikers
Controller
Leader

The fact that they didn't have a Defender made me pull SOME punches, and I capitalize SOME because...

At the end of the one-shot they were fighting against Count Strahd Von Zarovich.

Of course instead of using the suggested encounter found after his entry in Open Grave, I decided to just use him, 4 against one seemed fair right?

Well 3 hours into the fight they had bloodied him 5 times and then he killed the leader, then one of the strikers and the controller chose to jump out of Raveloft castle unto his imminent doom...

And it was supposed to be just a 4 hour one shot...

Well I don't like leaving my players empty handed so I was thinking on awarding them an Achievement, worth Bonus XP every time they play in one of my campaigns, I was thinking around 50? Just for kicks and I tough of calling it:

Achievement:
BLOODY MARY
Made Count Strahd Von Zarovich reach the bloodied status more then 5 times in a single encounter

P.S one of the strikers was dominated by Strahd for more than 10 rounds...
