Endur's Expedition to Castle Ravenloft

[Endur]

Dareios thinks the furniture looks old, but shows little wear and tear.

Thredra responds to Ismark, "Lief is almost certainly in his office on the second floor of the castle. He is rather obsessed with his work and never leaves his office, even sleeping on a cot in the corner behind his desk."

 

[Legildur]

"Well then, I think I would speak with him," Ismark reluctantly agrees.

"The wolves?" he suggests to the others as a way forward.

 

[Rhun]

Skorl stands, prepared to accompany Ismark. His belly full of warm food, the half-orc feels the need to burn some energy and work off the dinner.

 

[Endur]

Thredra looks at her empty plate and wine glass, and gets up from the table.

"It is time for me to retire for the night. I believe that Cyrus will have the coach at the front of the castle, ready for your return trip to the village of Barovia."

She says another word (that sounded like 'Venire') and you hear the sounds of all of the doors and gates and drawbridges opening in the distance.

 

[Legildur]

As the doors open, Ismark mutters "Not in control my left foot!"

Seeing as an audience with the Count (or Lief) is out of the question for tonight, Ismark stands and politely waits for the cue to depart with the others.

"So, where do we stay tonight?" he asks as the group makes its way back to the coach.

 

[Endur]

Thredra goes down the hallway in the opposite direction from the dining room and passes out of your sight into the darkness as she ascends a stairwell.

Does the party exit Castle Ravenloft?

(OOC: I need to know if anyone did not eat or drink the delicious food and wine).

Ismark's stomach growls as he walks down the corridors and through the halls to the waiting coach. Whilst hungry, he was not prepared to eat the offered meal (or drink the wine) under the uncertain circumstances - things around Barovia were just too ... odd.

 

[Rhun]

Skorl pats his full stomach as the group prepares to make their next move. "Ah, grub good. Go to village now?"

 

[Endur]

Ismark has gained one point of depravity (taint) and suffers a -2 on charisma-based ability checks due to his neglect of hygiene and cultural mores.

Skorl has gained one point of depravity (taint) and has become highly opinionated. So talkative that he is automatically flatfooted on the first round of every combat.

Jack Morrow gained another point of depravity (taint).

Cedric gained a point of depravity (taint) and is now highly sycophantic, flattering friends and enemies in great detail. Cedric talks so much that he takes a -2 on listen and spot checks and enemies get a +2 on listen checks against him.

Lia Nailo has gained one point of depravity (taint) and suffers a -2 on charisma-based ability checks due to her neglect of hygiene and cultural mores.

Ashlyn has gained one point of depravity (taint) and has taken on a ferocious wild demeanor. She gains a +2 circumstance bonus on Handle Animal, Ride, and wild empathy checks. She takes a -1 penalty on other charisma based ability checks and skill checks.

Quiet and withdrawn through the ordeal at the dining table, Willow gets up and follows the others, her arms folded tightly across her chest, her long, skeletal fingers stroking Slithergleam's head as it is draped over her shoulder.

[sblock=Endur]I did not state whether Willow did or did not eat or drink anything previously, and feel a little uncomfortable stating so now that we know what will happen if she had, so I'll let you make that call and go from there, if that's ok.[/sblock]
