Rhun's I6: Ravenloft - IC Thread

OOC: You've already met Danovich at the church. He performed the burial for the burgomaster.

ooc: Doh! I'm really sorry! I haven't had a chance to catch up on the old stuff we did. I'll shut up now until we get going. Just disregard my last post.

After dinner, you arrange watches and bed down for the night. Luckily, it is still quite early, and you all get several hours of sleep before midnight. For shortly after that, the moans of the dead begin to echo from outside the house. Soon thereafter, the sounds of pounding and scratching at the barricaded doors and windows can be heard.

As the previous night though, the undead our not able to break through, and as dawn approaches, the assault stops, and the creatures disappear into the mists and fog. While the barricades continue to hold, you are sure they won't stand up to more than a few more nights of this sort of treatment.

Still, with the assault over, you catch a couple more hours of sleep, and then wake to share a meager breakfast and prepare for the day ahead.


OOC: Sorry for the delay, I've had lots of time to post while at work, but not so much from home...which unfortunately is where all my resources are.

Ismark and Ireena don their battle gear, as if they mean to accompany you. They both wear finely crafted chain shirts under their clothing, and have longswords strapped to their waists.

"So, where to?" asks Ismark.

"We are going to the castle" Ryan says "to confront the monster, one way or the other. But it is too dangerous for Ireena to come, because she is the one he is after. Stay here and guard her. If we do not return by nightfall, you can be sure that we never will. In that case, you can try to outrun the undead by getting started next morning. The Vistani will not protect you."

 

[Rhun]

Ismark nods sadly. "If you do not return, then all hope is lost. The devil Strahd will take Ireena...you are the only ones that can prevent that now."

 

[Queenie]

"How far is the castle from here?"

 

[Rhun]

"Just a couple of miles, through the mountains. The road twists some, but shouldn't take any longer than an hour or so to reach."

 

[s@squ@tch]

"Then we shall do our best, no, we will be back by nightfall."

He looks over the others with a stern gaze,"We ready to depart to confront this devil?"

 

[industrygothica]

"We will return," Xavian says more to Ireena than anyone else. "This will soon all be over, and your nights free from the devil's dark embrace." A lingering stare suggests there is so much more he wants to say to her.

"I am ready."
