"I could use a medic, though you can wait with my wounds until you have cured the others."

Coming back to his normal temper again, Dareios keeps searching the area. Does the cave look like an anabandoned grave or like a natural complex?
 

Willow looks to her friend as he makes his offer, still too tired and weak to think about standing at the moment, or speaking, for that matter. This was close--really close, she thinks to herself. She is overcome with emotion, but tries to wipe away any tears before they fall.

"My friend," she manages to whisper, still looking at Jack. Resting her arm on her raised knee, and holding her empy potion vial, she continues: "Is this where it ends? All of it... for this?"
 

"Let's leave this cursed place as soon as possible. If noone has a spell to cure this land's disiease, I say we set a fire a to clean this grave at least. Maybe so the ghosts of the damned will find a rest."
 

"What if there are more of these hidden lairs?" Ismark speculates as others search. "My poor people of Barovia. What has happened to us?"
 

"If you ask me, I'd burn the whole cursed village down anyway and return with an army to clean the place for good. But. by the gods, if I find the necromancer that is responsible for this, I#ll teach him what real horror means.- I doubt that we are of any help while in the village. We should either go search the count or check that darn witch. Whoever is behind this, I doubt that he is a peasant."
 

Ismark bristles as Dareios advocates burning the village. But he can see where such a rash statement comes from, and he resumes leaning against the wall and watches any responses without saying anything about it.

With the conversation dead on that subject, Ismark the Lesser raises another prospect. "Perhaps we should search the rest of the graveyard for sign of more of the same?"

Willow, obviously shaken and badly injured, drops her jaw at the question. "You want to find more? Death came near to more than one of us just now, and while I can't speak for the others, I will not be outright searching for these... monstrosities anywhere, especially on this night. It must be getting dark soon; we should return to somewhere with locking doors."

"It is my people being savaged," Ismark growls. "I will do what I can to remove the burden. I have been idle too long."

Willow tries to get up, using the wall for support, hoping Jack makes it to her with that wand of his. It was her people from whom he got it, afterall. "Very well," she says to Ismark. "Be a hero tomorrow, or be a corpse tonight. That choice is yours to make, but I have already made mine."
