The mists lighten, but never lift, as midday passes.The streets are quiet during this time, with no moans or other sickening noises to indicate unforeseen trouble. As the barrier nears, completion, a more hopeful sign emerges. First a solitary pair, but soon more cautious but alive townsfolk begin emerging from the streets, all very much alive. Some are recognized as coming from the Tavern earlier, and it appears their efforts has paid off.As the crowd grows, it becomes clear to those that ask that all the survivors tell a similar story: Through provenance or luck, they survived by barricading their homes against the hungry dead. The attacks were sporadic, until about the time of the party's attack on the Church. It is then their former neighbors went into a wild frenzy that ended almost as soon as it begin. This only cements the connection between Danovich, his monstrosity, and the necromantic plague. The villagers have seen nor heard of nothing else on the streets---Khensu's phantom wolf has not been spotted.The throng soon calls for attention, and Ismark is pressed unwillingly to address them. He mentions once again the "brave acts of these strangers" and the need to "restock and rebuild." He urges everyone to return home and welcome the rest of the day for "tomorrow we must face the world once again as it is." A few volunteers are taken to begin gathering the dead, to be taken here with the barricade, so the missing can be identified before the burials begin. Marot looks to the others and then volunteers to walk with the townspeople to assist them if need be. The halforc mercenary stays in the townsquare, silently keeping his vigil.As the villagers begin to go to work, Ismark once again approaches Jarrith, Daellin, and Khensu. "Your witch is in the tavern still, speaking with those that will hear her. But for now, it is as safe to walk Barovia as it ever is. Let us see to my sister."</blockquote>
