Esme rises from her seat. "Now, now, can we all behave like adults? The Count is right, it's extremely rude for us to come into his home and insult him." She turns to face him. "My apologies Count, some of my friends are out of touch with their manners."
"I am curious as to why you think the Vistani are to blame for the undead uprising here. They were very quick to point the blame at you."

Strahd eyes Delkat for a moment, a wisp of amusement on the Count's face. "The road to hell is paved with good intentions." He turns his head to regard Esme. "The Vistani seem to have the ability to leave Barovia at will, passing through the cloak of fog that surrounds this valley unharmed. That is something that the rest of us cannot do. If they can do this, why would they choose to live in this accursed place? And untouched by the undead, unlike the rest of my people."

Ares eyes Ryan and Delkat in anger whereverthey see him or not.
They try to kill us? He thinks to himself, if we need to defeat the count, better not let our intentions to do so reveal right away. But off course the count’s plans for us are death or slavery of some sort so keeping his nerves down is the right thing to do now or his sinister minions will chase us all the way to the village.

"To be honest, I have not tried to leave. I've sent a few messengers, but they have never returned. Either they escaped this land, or they died in the accursed fog that surrounds us." The count shrugs. "I've lived here all of my life. My family settled in this valley centuries ago. I am the last of our line."

The priest stands idly by and watches the count interact with the others, the contempt clear on his face.
[sblock=Rhun]
Skill checks - knowledge (religion) and sense motive. Know(religion) is to know as much about vampires as possible, which I think he did earlier in the campaign to much success, but want to roll it again -- specifically to notice if the count is casting a shadow in this brightly lit room.
Sense motive is to check to see if the count is being trustworthy or not. Hunch, which I think is DC20.

[sblock=For S@squ@tch]Delkat made an earlier check and knows everything the Monster Manual indicates in regards to vampires. So he is fully versed, though as I stated before he also knows that some vampires have differing abilities and powers, based on their age and other things.
Delkat does notice that the count is NOT casting a shadow in the bright light of the room, nor can his reflection be seen in the large mirrors to either side of the organ. He also gets a distinct impression that Strahd von Zarovich is NOT being entirely honest with them.[/sblock]

Strahd relaxes somewhat. "The damnable gypsies and their curse," says the count. "It is their magic that keeps the storm clouds blocking out the sun, and that surrounds this valley in deadly fog. Their leader calls the dead to serve her will, and makes blood sacrifices to gain the allegiance of foul and evil creatures."
