Ryan looks around for stones that could be used to create a small cairn over the dead man, but if there are none nearby he won't spend too much time looking.
"We must continue on our way and not lose time. There's nothing else we can do.
Oh, and check for magic. A man brave enough to walk these woods might have a few magic items, as we do."
Delkat watches the others search the body, when they are finished, he kneels nearby the man and says a small prayer to his goddess to grant him speed into the next plane of existance.
"What do you think is taking them so long?" Sarryx asks Ares.
Ares looks into the line of trees. The land tries to seduce people into it with plenty of tricks. Cries for help are found to be wind howls, innocent girl tend to be a sinister man-eating corpse, and wounded animals are fearsome werethings. The land trust the pure hearted to fall into her web.
He then turns to Sarryx and grins evilly. Be skeptic and trust no one but ... me.

Unfortunately, there are not enough stones in the area to build a cairn for the dead man. So Drelkat says his prayers, and you return to the road, leaving the body where you found it.
A cold breeze springs up from the mountains to the west, carrying with it the smell of rain.

Back on the road, Kyranvik lets the others know what they found. "Dead man, with a letter saying seal the area off, it's too late. Which of course means we must press forward." adds Kyranvik with a wry smile.
"Let's press on and find out what is going on. This is all so ominous and I would just like to find out what the truth of the matter is so we can deal with it. If it is undead of some sort, do we have a way of dealing with that?"
Esmerelda hops on her broom, waiting for the others to carry on.
"Perhaps the locals will know more of this 'vampyr'. But I know how I plan to deal with it." Ryan pats the hilt of his greatsword as he resumes the journey.
"That sounds like a plan, I have no desire to sit out here any longer in the mists." Sarryx agrees, then gestures for the more martial members of their group to take the lead.
You continue down the road and through the thick mists, generally traveling in a westerly direction. To the north, off to the right of the road, the mountains loom darkly beyond the treetops, only visible as towering silhouettes through the fog.
The descends a bit, and the overgrown tangle of woods begins to draw away from the track, and you soon find yourselves in a sheltered dell. Soon enough, the buildings of what must be Barovia Town begin to take shape in the distance ahead.
