Rhun's I6: Ravenloft - IC Thread

[Rhun]

A cold wind continues to blow out of the mountains, sweeping your cloaks about you. A light rain begins to fall from the dark clouds overhead.

 

[s@squ@tch]

"Xavian - have you ever seen this carriage before?"

 

[Rhun]

Xavian has not seen the carriage before.

 

[Rhun]

The horses snort and stamp impatiently in the cold mountain air.

 

[industrygothica]

"We should go now," Xavian says. "Standing around here like this makes me nervous."

 

[kinem]

"More nervous than rushing to enter an undead-filled castle ruled by a powerful vampire? You are one strange fellow, Xavian" Ryan says, clapping him on the shoulder to show that he's kidding. "But let's go. I don't think the carriage is a threat if we don't get in."

 

[s@squ@tch]

"Let us go and take the fight to him."

 

[Queenie]

Esme stood silent and stoic, very intent in her studying of the carriage.

"I think perhaps we should get in, at least some of us. I will volunteer if necessary."

She tapped her full lips in thought. "If Strahd had wanted us dead, he would not have sent a carriage, he would have sent an army. Yes, he may be arrogant but that could be his downfall. If the carriage takes us to him, well, then we will know exactly where he is. After all, we are headed that way to confront him. No?"

She turned to face the group, her long cloak fluttering around her. "But what if it takes us to someone else who wants to help us? We're not so rich in power that we can afford to turn any help away. There are a million possibilities here and we should not let fear of the unknown get in the way of making the right choice.

If there are some against going, as I said earlier, perhaps some could go and others could follow behind. Though that might be difficult in this mist."

 

[Fenris]

Ky looks at Esme "You have not steered me wrong yet." he says and turns and enters the carriage.

 

[Rhun]

Esme and Ky both enter the carriage without incident. There is plenty of room for at least eight people. The benches are upholstered in fine black velvet, and the overstuffed padding provides a comfortable place to sit.
