Donner wakes up the next morning at the break of dawn. While he drank the night before, it doesn't appear to affect him as much the next morning. It appears that such nightly events are common for him. In the morning he meditates and prays for the powers to grant him strength and protection while being able to slay his enemies. He then forages for food and meets up with the group when they are ready to depart.
Kyranvik heads down and sits cheerfully next to Esme. "Well, a better day for traveling today at least. I would like to have breakfast and leave as early as we can, if we are to go. Travel at night is unwise it would seem."
Ryan wakes up feeling refreshed. He washes his face, gets ready and heads downstairs.
"Good morning! I'm eager to get going, too" he says as he enters the tavern room. He orders boiled eggs for breakfast and washes it down with honey mead.
ooc: Did Ryan make any cash with his singing last night?
Sarryx will arise after a brief rest having spent much of the night keeping a silent watch out his window over his allies that required more rest then he. He also continued to write in his notebook about the attack on the highway and his continued development.
************************************************** *************
Heading downstairs, the draconic humanoid will join Ares where the evoker is sitting and wishes to talk. "Before we travel into an unknown land, let's try and determine exactly what we know." he whispers to the magic-user.
After their conference, and before they set out, Sarryx will gather everyone around him and incant a minor evocation to protect them all from his deadly breath and more mundane elements.
OOC
Sarryx has a minimum of +7 to all Know skills from his Draconic Knowledge Incantation, +13 in History/Planes, 15 Arcana. Not sure which would be most applicable
He'll also cast endure elements on everyone to protect them in case a battle arises and he needs his breath weapon.
Kay'el finally makes it downstairs, still holding his head - Too much sweetwine after such a long time from home. As he approached the table, he held up a hand as someone spoke to him, wincing in pain at the morning bustle - His acute elven hearing paired with the hangover was not making this a pleasant morning. "Breakfast."

Kyranvik smiles and gets up to fetch his elven friend some breakfast. He heads to the kitchen and intercepts a barmaid with a plate for another table. A few coins later and Kyranvik places the plate in front of Kay'el.
Kay'el nods his thanks to Kyr and begins eating. Several moments later, he seems to have regained enough cognizance to take in his surroundings. "Are we missing anybody else?"
ooc
Technically Kay'el, being an elf, only needs 4 hours of 'rest', but drunkness does strange things to people.
Ares stayed quite late and went to his room for a 4 hours sleep (thought with the ring e needs only two). He woke up quite early and read his magic book. Once done with that and the sanitary things, he went down for breakfast.
My knowledge of the land is streaked to the times of my childhood, thought, I do not know how much have changed since then ... and I have the feeling that changes are rare in Barovia, since the count still rules the land
Ares replies
Rhun
I ask for a knowledge check - religion for gods that I might remember that is worshipped in the land and knowledge arcane for the supernatural denizens that might lurk in the forests of Barovia.
Both knowledge will be from long past childhood days.

"Well, what can we know? We only have the letter to go on. I suppose we could ask around town about this Mayor and his town... does anyone think this is wise? Having read the letter I feel it's in earnest and someone needs our help, we should give it. And I m prepared to leave and find out for ourselves what the situation is."
"I trust my instincts and I have already stated my willingness to check into this matter. After breakfast we should set out." With that she sets to finishing her large and hearty breakfast. Ky always teased her about how much food she ate and the fact that it never seemed to show but she always made a point of eating well when she could. "I wonder what ails the young woman. If he would have mentioned what it was I might have been able to gather some herbs before arriving."
OOC: My apologies guys. I posted that I would be away for several days, and then it took me a couple extra to get caught up. I will get the game back on track ASAP.

With breakfasts finished, your bills paid, and your gear packed, you set out from the town of Dunhill. The morning is cold and crisp as you follow along the little used dirt road that leads toward the Balinoks, a local spur of the mighty Sentinel Peaks. Thick, cold mist spreads like a pallor over the land, and black pools of water stand like dark mirrors about the muddy road. You pass many farms as you travel, most of them appearing to be abandoned. As the land rises into the mountains, the farmlands and pastures slowly give way to heavily forested hills; giant tree trunks stand to both sides of the road, their branches clawing upward into the mist. The fog grows thicker as you travel, and the forest grows more and more oppressive.
