I should think."And finally, as Jarrith's page flipping moves deeper into the middle of the book, he comes upon some names that he does recognize... and as he speaks of his new knowledge, he catches the eye of Sir Khensu... as what is written might have something to do with what the Inquistor just happened upon outside."And it seems as though wolves have been acting up... possibily mutilating the animals owned by the man and his daughter we ran into outside of the town on the way to Madam Eva's.  Although Danovich says that he thought that witches were a more likely suspect."As he continues reading, he finds the words delving further into incomprehensibility... and when a headache starts coming on... he decided to leave well enough alone.  He picks up the leathery parchment that had the instructions on how to make one of those monstrous creatures, places it into the journal on the page he stopped reading, and then closes the book.  He unslings his knapsack and packs the journal away.  Perhaps later on, after his headache goes away, he'll delve into the book further.Sir Khensu thinks about what Jarrith said, and then offers up a suggestion of his own."By all regards... it seems that Madam Eva's first prediction has borne fruit... deal with the problems here at the church and it will lift much of the difficulties over the town."  He smiles slightly at the thought that they have accomplished something good in their time here.  "Our next duty is to journey up to the castle in the mountains and find the Tome of Strahd.  Not only is that the relic we were commisioned to find... but also if I remember what the gypsy said... the book would tell us the three places that we would need to cleanse to further bring this land further back into the light."He glances over at the body of the halfling and his smile disappears.  "Might I suggest that we gather everything we can... and return to the barricade?  If nothing else, Bergeron should be laid to rest.  We might also rest ourselves for the evening and see if what we accomplished here has had any effect on the people in town.  We can then leave for the castle tomorrow morning at dawn.  I for one would not want to try and journey there now and possibly arrive after dark."</blockquote>
