Endur's Expedition to Castle Ravenloft

[Legildur]

Ismark nods slightly in thanks to Willow's support. "Arlich, I will return and direct things once we have helped Mary."

"Mary, lead on," he says to the distraught woman.

 

[Le Noir Faineant]

Dareios has watched the scene with growing frustration, but is relieved that the party does not divide. He'll ask Ismark for the permission to take some of the remaining men and teach them some weapon-fighting basics unless he is needed elsewhere.

If the rest of the party decides to go with Mary, he'll follow, of course.

 

[Rhun]

Skorl continues to follow, mumbling to himself as he walks. The half-orc cheered himself with thoughts of finding a monstrous baby abductor to sink his blade into.

 

[Voadam]

The bartender tells Jack, "Madam Eva's encampment is near the Tser pool. Follow the old road out of town, then at the crossroads follow the road towards down the Tser pool instead of climbing the road that goes towards the Count's castle."

The bartender points at a group of drunken Vistani playing cards and implies that Jack could also hire a guide if he was concerned about getting lost.

"Thanks, sounds clear enough. How many are there in the encampment?." Once Jack gets his answer he will rejoin the others and is fine with looking for the missing baby.

 

[Pyrex]

Ismark nods slightly in thanks to Willow's support. "Arlich, I will return and direct things once we have helped Mary."

"Mary, lead on," he says to the distraught woman.

"When was the last time you saw your child?"

 

[Endur]

The bartender responds to Jack, "A dozen, or several dozen. It varies."

The crowd follows Ismark and the adventurers to Mary's house (except for Arlich who left earlier when he declined Ismark's offer to be in charge of the village).

Mary tells Ismark, "My Gertrude vanished during the night of the living dead. I was downstairs watching the door to make sure the zombies didn't knock the door down. When I went upstairs, Gertrude was no longer in her room.

"Gertrude never left her room. It has been years since she has been outside. We kept her safe from the evils of the outside world.

"Now she's gone! Gone! Gone!"

Mary wails.

 

[Kafkonia]

"You say it had been years since Gertrude had been outside?" Alessandra asks. "How old was your child?"

 

[Voadam]

Jack will take a look outside for tracks near the windows.

 

[Pyrex]

Ashlyn checks the door to the room and the room itself for signs that Gertrude was being held prisoner in the room. Then she checks the window to see if it was forced open, either from the inside or from the outside.

 

[hafrogman]

Cedric conducts a thorough search of the house, looking for any clues as to what might have transpired in the location. He compliments Ashlyn on her investigative technique even as he seeks anything she might have missed.
