Ismark replies to Delkat's questions. "No, I'm afraid my father has not had last rites. The village priest is afeared of leaving the church in these dark times. The Count dared not enter our home for many years...my father kept him at bay, with an ancient holy symbol that was in our possession. That has now been lost, though, stolen by the Count's servants. Since that dark day, my father has died, and my sister was bitten." Ismark shakes his head sadly, and all hope is gone from his voice when he next speaks. "It is a dark day. My father's letter had the right of it...our land is lost."
 

OOC: It is late afternoon by this time...perhaps 3 or 4 PM. While there is technically still a couple of hours until nightfall, the dark clouds and heavy fog certainly make it near dark outside, as shown in the pic of the town. :)

The month is the equivalent to mid October.
 

Sarryx will finally break his silence, grabbing Delkat and pulling him close.

"How long will your rites require? I will caution against going out at this late hour, as we have only a brief time before true darkness falls and if what these people say is true, we should remain inside until the morning." Sarryx hisses.

At Sarryx' words, Ismark nods. "You are correct, good sir. Travelling after the fall of night is dangerous. But my sister is alone in our manse...and I cannot leave her. You are all welcome to stay there, of course. We have little to offer, but what we do have is yours, in return for your aid. We are only a short distance away."
 

Delkat

Turning to Sarryx and the others,"You don't understand -- no one is safe here."

"Vampires are crafty creatures, who have amazing strengths and abilities, but with them, come a set of rules, or restrictions...."

"One of them being that they are freely allowed to enter a public place,"
he says, gesturing with his arms,"such as this Inn."

"But they cannot enter a private dwelling without permission."



"It sounds odd, but it is true."

"As I said before, we are not safe here and must find appropriate lodgings, which is being offered by Ismark."


"As far as the length of time for the rites, since it is unlikely that the Burgomaster was a follower of my goddess, I can only bestow upon him a limited peace, which would not take long at all -- but I need to bring his body to his church so that he can be truly laid to rest."

He looks out one of the clouded windowpanes,"That task will most likely wait until the morrow."

"Shall we then?" asks Ismark, pulling his cloak tight about him to help ward off the chill in the air. "As I said, you are all welcome. There is strength in numbers, after all."
 

Ares

Delkat speaks words of wisdom, we should take his advice.
Ares reply as he speak to the others
With the information he gathered I must agree and say that this inn is not safe, we should accommodate in the man’s place, not before checking his sister which was bitten by something.
He turns to Delkat and adds
But, It is wise to postpone your ceremony to the morning. Who knows what or who walk the ground of the graveyard at night.

Delkat nods at Ares in recognition.

"I suggest the rest of you come with us."

He then turns to Ismark,"Let us depart this place now. I must attend to both your father and your sister."

Slightly under his breath,"Suffer no undeath...."
 

Ismark nods, and leads the way out of the tavern, stepping down into the cobbled plaza. He pulls his hood up over his head against the chill of the wind, and waves for you to follow him. He heads south down one of the main streets. The houses and shops are dark as you pass them, and you note that many of them have their windows boarded up.

The mournful sobbing grows louder as you walk, floating through the still, gray streets. The sounds flow from a dark, two-story home on your left. Noting your glances, Ismark merely shakes his head sadly, and motions for you to continuing following him.
