The man shakes his head.

"No, she has not forsaken me, but instead shows me that I do not yet know all there is to know about the undead which I hunt."

"This land -- its darkness -- the foul stench of decay -- it is a calling to me."

"I must help these people."

"The power that the undead hold in this land is unnatural and unholy. I cannot rest until it is broken."

"As for your suggestion about marching directly into the castle -- I say we do that -- but during the light of day."

"Remember, first thing in the morning, we need to get Ismark and Ireena's father to the church for final rites and internment -- then off to the castle to see if this Strahd is truly a vampire and hides from the light of day."

After he makes sure that all of the others have had their wounds healed, he turns to Ireena and Ismark.

"Now, where are your bedchambers? Do they have exterior windows?"

"I think it prudent to watch over Ireena while she sleeps, so that we can attempt to repel any intrusions, if milady has no objections."

 

[Fenris]

"It sounds as though this Strahd will not take well to being rejected and would be angry at his forces being defeated, if indeed his sole purposed was not the death and body of our friend. In any case, we should expect further attacks this evening." says Kyranvik

 

[Queenie]

"Do these dreams come every evening, lady? Also, what can you tell us about this family relic? It must have held such power as to be able to repel this..," she hesitates, unsure of the term, "Vampire... for so long. Would any of your servants steal it from you? I'm curious as to how the relic remained here so long with your father then suddenly was stolen."

 

[Rhun]

While Ireena's bedchamber once had windows, the broken glass is now covered by the same thick wooden planks that cover all the windows in the house.

At Esme's question, the young woman responds, tears in her eyes. "Not every night, no. Only sometimes. As far as the relic goes, it was a powerful symbol of good. My father was able to use its power, but my brother and I were unable to bring its power to bear. So long as my father lived, it kept the evil at bay. But now, with him dead..."

 

[Rhun]

Bump!?

 

[Queenie]

ooc: Sorry was at DC Gameday!

Esme gives out a long "Hmmmmm....," as she taps her full lips. "Do you have any more information about this relic? Perhaps some written family history? It seems this relic could be useful for us and finding out more about it would be most helpful in fighting this creature who seeks you."

 

[Rhun]

"The relic, called the Holy Symbol of Ravenkind, is a powerful amulet. I know little about it in truth, only that it is a potent relic of Light, able to hold undead at bay. Though obviously, it only works in the right hands." She frowns. "Unfortunately, it seems that it has likely fallen into the hands of Strahd's servants, and is lost to us."

 

[Nebten]

"Ack! So he has something that could be his undoing. This is not a good omen. In any case, let us board up for the night and wait on any other possible assaults. Hopefully we can get one more repreve before meeting the lands' lord."

 

[Rhun]

OOC: Any specific precautions you would like to take for the night?

With things settled a bit for now, Ryan introduces himself. "We will safeguard you if we can, m'lady. My name is Ryan."

He offers to take first watch, feeling unable to sleep.
