Rhun's I6: Ravenloft - IC Thread

Outside of Madam Eva's tent, the gypsies continue to dance and sing around the bonfire, sharing goblets of steaming, mulled wine.


OCC: FYI, it is mid-afternoon. You have a couple hours before it begins to get dark (or darker, given the dark, overcast nature of Barovia).

"I'm not surprised that it doesn't bode well for us" Ryan says. "It'll be a battle and we might not return from it. But is waiting around to get slaughtered any better?

Well, let's try raiding the castle tomorrow morning, then. Omens be damned.

Madame Eva, are there any other sites in the area, other than the town and the castle, that might be worth checking out in the meantime?"
 

Esme feels herself being pulled toward the dancing and merriment but tries to keep her focus on her friends.

"Is there anything we need to prepare for the castle? Perhaps some holy water to help fight the undead we may find there? I will make sure I have an ample supply of herbs to help with healing and... other things."
 

"Madame Eva, are there any other sites in the area, other than the town and the castle, that might be worth checking out in the meantime?"

Madame Eva shrugs at the question. "None that I can think of. There are a few old and overgrown ruins here and there within the Svalich Woods, but I doubt they hold interest to adventurers such as yourselves. And they most certainly do not hold the key to escape from this valley."

"Second, these gypsies exist only because the beast chooses to let them. It knows we are here -- Madam Eva told us so."

"There is no reason to keep him from attacking us here, where we will not be protected by the gypsies, as they are not for nor against this beast, nor should we possibly bring their precarious situation under the beasts' gaze by staying here."

"We need to get back to the manse!"
 

"Oh, I think most of us understand that" Ryan says. "Though I'd like to spend some time with these people and share music with them, that will have to wait for another day. Right now we must head back to the mansion and prepare for battle.

It looks like we'll have to carry Ares back with us by force. One of us will take the upper body, another the feet. I call upper."
 


Ares

I will come…
Ares replies
Thought I prefer to stay here, I'm not a fool to be left alone with people I've just met, but surely you cannot think we'll take this route every time, from the castle to the town, it is not logical.
 

OOC: Go ahead and RP...it is going to be tomorrow night or possibly this weekend before I get the next post up to move the game forward.
 

"I am a bit unsure of our mission. Are we to protect the siblings or are we to face the evil in the castle? I thought we were investigating the false letter and confronting whatever demons lie in the castle."
