Endur's Expedition to Castle Ravenloft

[Endur]

The constant wailing of the women and children, the total lack of food and water, and the lack of any space to sleep, means that the party can wait out the night in the Inn, but they are unlikely to get any rest.

 

[Le Noir Faineant]

Rick says in an obvious sarcastic manner.

"Well, Barkeep, I could go to the next town and bring water back from that well if you like, its more than likely not teeming with rotting zombie flesh. Or you can go destroy a few dozen zombies, in the dark, in the fog, for a drink."

Rick doesn't even wait for a response before leaving the bar and heads over to the group.

Dareios had earnestly considered to punish the barkeeper for what in a first moment he considered impertinence.

After checking the overall situation, however, he comes to another conclusion.

"My friends, would it be possible to help the poor people a bit? Maybe we can indeed fight our way through to the village well and get some water - at least enough for the children. Otherwise, I think we should head to Ireena's place. The letter said explicitely that she was in danger, didn't it?"

"Maybe they are sparse enough for an archer to cover you from the door. If you take Skorl with you to help clear the way it may not be so bad. I'll do what I can to help."

There are alot of children...

"I'll lend my sword... for the children. But the barkeep better watch his tongue!"

Rick unslings his crossbow and bolts from his back.

"Maybe they could use more weapons and ammo on the roof."

Rick looks back at the barkeep and holds up his crossbow and quiver.

"Were getting water for the children. Is there anyone who can use this with any precesion and can they spare room on the roof for? I won't be needing it outside."

If the barkeep says yes he lets him take it if not Rick puts it back on.

"We should climb down from the roof, we shouldn't risk moving the barricade."

Rick takes his 50ft rope out of his pack.

 

[Endur]

The party manages to recover water from the village well and deliver it to the grateful villagers.

There are pieces of zombie lying near the well from where Ashlyn fought several zombies.

Due to the darkness, it was impossible to see whether zombie pieces actually fell inside the well.

The villagers boiled the water just in case the well had been fouled by zombie flesh.

 

[Le Noir Faineant]

Seeing the people drink the boiled water, Dareios relaxes a bit.

"My friends, whenever I can help people, I feel comfortable." He grins, and cleans his clothes and weaponry, while waiting for the others to decide their next step.

Dareios will vote for Ireena's house and against the graveyard, if he should be asked.

"These things that feast on the undead, without being attacked themselves, what can they be?" Willow tries to remember if she's ever heard of sucha being.

"And a party at midnight? In the cemetary? I do not think that anything good can come of a midnight party in a cemetary. At least nothing good by the common definition." She says this as she looks at Skorl and hefty blade. "I'm sure you'd get a grand fight out of it. One that I'd rather not partake of if at all possible. At least not yet."

 

[Endur]

Willow has heard tales of cannibals, accursed men, evil races, and supernatural creatures that eat dead humans. Willow does not know which category those Skorl encountered belong to.


Ashlyn speaks up, "I told Mathilda and Thendrick that I would protect the inn while they went to get Danovich from the village church. As much as I would like to help you save others in this village, I can not leave my post until Mathilda and Thendrick return.

"The village church is on the way to the cemetary, so if you decide to go to the cemetary, you could stop at the church and see what is taking Mathilda and Thendrick so long."

 

[Dirk]

Rick looks around the crowded room.

"We aren't getting any rest here, we should move out to the church and see if they need help. There maybe some space to sleep and regain our strength for the fight to the castle in the morning. Thats just my opinion though."

Rick starts to eat on a trail ration and giving bits of it to Boo.

 

[Goddess FallenAngel]

"I agree - trying to discover what happened to Mathilda and Thendrick, and retrieving Danovich, might best be our first task. Perhaps the church is well enough fortified that we may rest there, as well." Alessandra says.
