Endur's Expedition to Castle Ravenloft

[industrygothica]

"Whatever we do," Willow looks at each of the others in turn, noticing their subtle changes in behavior, "we should do it after we leave this wretched castle. Something is certainly not right about this place, and I am ready to leave."

She turns then to Dareios, unsmiling. "I do not think you mean that. An honorable man such as yourself would surely not give that a serious thought. At least not without a better reason then that the place gives you the creeps." Willow looks around the dark and dismal keep, and folds her arms tighter as a cold chill creeps up her spine. "Though were that a valid reason, I'd be the first to light the torch."

"Fire no work, anyway," says Skorl, striking his fist against the stone wall. "Solid stone. No burn."

 

[Le Noir Faineant]

"Though were that a valid reason, I'd be the first to light the torch."

"I have the vague feeling that we will return here soon - and not with friendly intentions. Please, forgive my recent rudenesses, my friend, but I feel that there is a mystery about this land that they" Dareios points up over his shoulder, to the castle, "know and we don't. I don't think the witch is our only problem."

 

[Voadam]

"I want to find out about this Curse. I could almost feel it in there. When next we see her I want to know what she has found out. It sounds like we need relics to fight against it. Danovich mentioned one in his diary, one that is now lost. Also that the vistani fortune teller said something about the Curse. I think we should go find out what she knows, if anything, and whether she is a witch."

Cedric busies himself with nodding enthusiastically any time anyone suggests anything. He claps his hands together in front of himself and smiles.

"Right then. Witches, wolves and fortunetellers. These are all great ideas. We should definately do them all. We'd better get started. Lead on!"

 

[Rhun]

Skorl is glad that Cedric approves of his ideas. "Wolves and witches. Best plan. Go fight."

 

[Voadam]

Jack turns to Ismark. "Can you take us to this fortune teller?"

 

[hafrogman]

Cedric turns to Ismark.

"That's right, you know your way around this town better than any of us. I'm sure you can lead us to her."

 

[Legildur]

"Possibly," replies Ismark. "But tomorrow. The day is done."

 

[Endur]

The party leaves the castle and enters the coach (except for Dareios who climbs onto his mount). Although Ashlyn mentioned the idea of seeking out Lief's office before leaving the castle, the dark hallways and eerie atmosphere was simply too much for the rest of the party to contemplate so late at night.

The ride back to the village is uneventful, although the party can hear the howling of wolves in the distance.

True to his word, the innkeeper has several rooms made up and waiting for the party upon their return.

The night passes uneventfully.

The next morning, the party wakens to a foggy day.
