Endur's Expedition to Castle Ravenloft

[Legildur]

"We'll keep looking for her," he assures Mary. "Come on you lot," he says as he nudges Skorl awake with his boot. "Let's keep moving and look for Gertrude."

Ismark turns to the crowd. "I'll be back to deal with housing once we've found Gertrude," he says with a tone leaving no room for dissent.

 

[Endur]

Part of the crowd follows Ismark, the rest return to their homes and livelihoods.

 

[Legildur]

Ismark frowns as the gaggle makes its intentions clear. "I'm not sure if I'm onto something, but where are these witches?" he asks of the other Heroes.

 

[Rhun]

Skorl comes immediately awake as Ismark nudges him, going for his sword. He calms quickly, realizing there is no danger here. Slowly the large warrior stands, yawning and stretching. He quickly follows after Ismark. At the questions about the witches, Skorl tries to answer. "Some hilltop. Outside village."

 

[Le Noir Faineant]

Dareios, already considerably drunk, comes to his feet and trots after the others...

 

[Voadam]

Jack peers off into the distance wondering what the vistani can tell about the curse. "To the vistani camp then."

 

[Rhun]

Skorl shrugs at Jack's words and his face looks sullen as he decides he is never going to get to fight again.

 

[Pyrex]

Ashlyn nods in agreement with Jack, "We should seek out the seer before hunting the witches, she may have information about them."

 

[Endur]

The crowd of women and children stands around. A small girl tugs her Mom's sleeve and asks, "Mommy, are we going to spend another night in the cold?"

A small boy walks up to Ismark and asks, "My parents are dead and our house was burned. What do I do now?"

 

[Legildur]

Ismark closes his eyes and sighs. Looking down at the boy he nods slowly. "Aye lad, we'll fix that for you," he says, patting the boy on the head, accepting his responsibilities as Burgomaster.

"Looks like the witches will have to wait," he says to the others. "I could use a hand organising things around here. Sooner we get it done, the sooner we can get on with things."

Ismark spends the day getting a stocktake of available accommodation and sets about allocating appropriate billets, occupation of dwellings without owners by families without homes, and then organises work parties/rosters to repair salvageable dwellings and the church.
