"Once we are inside and safe, I will heal you all as best as I can," says the priest.

"Ismark, do you actually reside at this address? It seems that those on the inside are not acquainted with you."

"Tis just my sister and I that dwell here, since my father's death. Our servants fled into town, for fear of the attacks such as you just witnessed. Ireena is injured, and weak...but not completely bed ridden."

OOC: More coming shortly. Sorry for the delays, but I normally post my IC updates at night, and I've had a lot going on lately.

The heavy door finally opens to reveal a once grand foyer, now showing considerable wear. The rich carpets are ratty, the fine tapestries and furnishings are threadbare and soiled, paint and plaster crumbles from the walls, and thick hardwood planks cover the broken leaded glass windows. Holy symbols of all sorts adorn the walls in large numbers. Laid out in state on a funeral bier is the silk-shrouded body of Kolyan Indirovich, Ismark's father. Incense burns nearby, the scent of fir and juniper helping to cover the smell of decomposition present in the chamber.



A beautiful, svelte woman in her early twenties holds the door open for you to enter, her raven black hair framing a pale, alabaster face. She is dressed in a fine black gown, a sign of her mourning, and a blood stained bandage covers a wound upon her neck. She possesses a delicate, exquisite beauty, and an air of subtle elegance.

Ismark enters, gives the woman a quick hug, and then waves you through the door. As soon as you've all passed the threshold, he closes the heavy portal, and proceeds to slide and drop a series a locking bars into place.

He finishes, and turns to face you again. "Allow me to introduce my sister, the fair Ireena Kolyana."

Delkat

The scent of decomposition assaulted the priests sensory acuities as the door opened.

The en masse plastering of holy symbols around the room was also not lost upon Delkat.

But, the priest is stopped in his tracks as he first beholds Ireena -- no where has he seen such a thing of beauty in all of his travels. He stammers for words for a moment.

"Ismark, it is a tribute to you, and your sister's, strength of will that you both still survive in this land -- it is obvious that it has conspired against you and caused you both undue hardships for quite some time."

"Again, I feel for your loss of your father in such dark times."

As the priest takes in the visage of Ireena, Delkat's eyes cannot escape the wound covering on her neck.

"It is worse than I had thought."

Turning towards Ismark,"Now that we are safe, allow me to tend to your wounds -- after which, I must tend to your sister -- it is imperative that I attempt to determine what ails her, and affect a cure, or at least assuage her suffering in the short term."

Turning towards the others,"Who else among you requires my aid before I depart with our hosts?"

[sblock=OOC]
Delkat will use a CMW (drop deific vengence) (and CLW, (divine favor)if needed) on Ryan to bring him to full health.

Then will use CSW (or lower spell, depending on how damaged Delkat thinks he is) on Ismark to heal him.

Finally, he'll need to inspect Ireena to determine what ails her.

Sarryx steps forward into the room, his nose wrinkling in disgust at the smell in the room.

Seeing the woman, he says "What happened to you?"

[sblock=OOC]
Sarryx is at 56/69 so he wouldn't mind some aid

[Rhun]

The young woman frowns at Sarryx' question. "It's alright, Ireena," says Ismark, laying a gentle hand upon her arm. "You can tell them. They are here to help us."

Ireena sighs deeply. "I'm not really sure," she says, glancing at her brother. "I've had these awful dreams in which Strahd chases me. When he catches me, he kisses me and calls me "Tatyana." She raises a hand and pulls off the bandage covering her neck. "When I wake up, I find these..." Her lovely neck is marred by a pair of small wounds, obviously made by some sort of bites.

 

[Fenris]

"Hrmm, did you wake up in your own bed? He visited you in a dream, but the bite was real? How could that be?" wonders Kyranvik

 

[Strahd_Von_Zarovich]

Ares

I fear your dreams are real and your mind was trapped is some kind of personal fantasy ... or should I say nightmare, where things are not as they seem.
Ares shift his look from the pretty woman’s face to her pale neck and add.
I fear she might be infected by some kind of disease.
He turns to Ismark, his eyes radiating boo to the man but his voice is plain. Ares will not forget the incident outside, the man will pay in the future.
Who is this Tatyana your sister is speaking off?

 

[renau1g]

Sarryx looks to their new ally, Delkat, and asks "If she has a disease can your god now cure her?"

 

[Rhun]

Ismark and Ireena both shake their heads at Aries question. "I've not heard of anyone named Tatyana," answers Ismark.

Ireena shrugs at Kyranvik's questions. "Yes, I woke in my own bed, here in the manor. I have no explanation for what happened. Once our father died, the holy symbol that had been in our family's possession for centuries was stolen, and evil things began to besiege the town."
