Endur's Expedition to Castle Ravenloft

[Voadam]

Jack moves over to Willow and puts an arm around her to draw her in close. He whispers elven words he hopes will be of some comfort. Even to his own ears though, the words are merely grim, lacking in much hope.

"We yet live. We yet live."

 

[Voadam]

Jack turns practical again.

"Someone needs to read the journal now, it may hold knowledge of everything that is going on. We need more keys if we are to unlock the mystery of this curse and more will fall the longer we take. I will gather up what arrows I can now and take the magic sword if none other claims it."

 

[hafrogman]

Cedric stands stunned over the body of the fallen creature for a moment. It seemed like one moment it was ready to rend Dareios in half, and then one small cut later, whatever forces were driving it suddenly left. Foul magic indeed.

Still in a daze, he reaches down to clean his blade on a piece of cloth at his feet, only as to realize that it is someone's clothing. He resheathes his sword and looks around at the decimation of the small church. Dead and dismembered bodies lie everywhere. Friends, strangers, enemies. Darious franticaly sawing at the heads of his own allies, begging for Skorl's help.

"By the gods. . ."

Skorl's question shakes him from his shock.

"If the girl yet lives . . . then she I pray she can survive another night. Because I do no think we are in a state to seek her. Nor would I wish to remain here any longer."

Willow hands the journal over to Jack; she just doesn't have the energy for it now.

To Cedric, and the others, for that matter, she says "And you would rather go back to the inn? We are all weakened and saddened and not eqipped for another fight. For all we know, the streets are still littered with zombies. But if you want to check the door..."

 

[Rhun]

Skorl shrugs as his friends discuss their next step. "I go, or stay. Protect friends. Kill foul undead."

 

[Voadam]

"Yes. Someone watch the entries, we probably attracted attention." Jack begins to flip through the journal, skimming for whatever might be relevant if possible.

 

[Rhun]

Skorl keeps his eyes on the main entry to the church while Jack browses the mad priest's diary. Although feeling tired from the days exertion, the half-orc is determined not to be caught off guard by any more surprises.

 

[industrygothica]

Are there any other entry points? Windows? Rooftop access?

 

[hafrogman]

Cedric can only shrug at Willow's question. She's right, the streets are not safe to travel either, but part of him still yearns for the relative comfort of the human throng at the inn.

 

[Endur]

Are there any other entry points? Windows? Rooftop access?

There is a bell tower with a small bell on the third floor of the tower and a small storage room on the second floor. Windows on the second floor and the bell tower is open. Windows on the first floor are boarded up.

No obvious entry points besides the front door.

The smell of the bodies is relatively bad. This does not look like a good place to spend the night.
