The mists mark it difficult to see detail beyond 60 feet, but night lights are not needed yet.Perriwimple is about to respond when a familiar face looks over the barricade---it is the Shifter Templar, Sir Khensu Feral. He looks a bit tired, but pleased to see you all. Soon, Tessa, Mateush, Khensu and a few others are gathered in the town square. Perriwimple looks on from the sidelines.Khensu quickly explains the troubles of the past two days---the necromantic plague, the strangeness of the town, the touched soothsayer, and the costly battle at the Church. There is sadness in his eyes as he sees the few remaining and mournful Jorasco healers take their kin away."We have done what we can. My Brother, the others, and our new companion Lady Ashlyn are seeing to the Burgomaster's daughter while Marot patrols the streets and I keep the square." His looks turn grave as he looks to the remnant of the expedition. "And you? You seemed to have suffered as well."Mateush succinctly and with little emotion describes the Emerald Claw attack, the madness and fear at the gates, and the wolves that followed. The archivist is obviously a man of books and not of people, and Tessa wonders if he even feels their loss. The paladin, however, seems even graver after the archivist's words.Perriwimple listens to the word of the Wolf Man and the new strangers. He almost gasped when he heard they had been to see the Madam! She knew everything. Everyone knew it. He did not fully understand the part about the church, and was confused about kind Father Danovich being a bad man, and thus almost missed the other man's talk about the wolves and the gate. Perriwimple nodded sagely. Just as Nana said, no one could leave Barovia---the curse kept people in. They would take the curse with them, she said, so they could not leave. The wolves also hunted those that tried. These new people did not know, but they knew now.After Mateush finished, Khensu spoke up. "Someone should let the others know the caravan has arrived." The archivist grinned---a small, tight affair reminiscent of skull---and added, "Of course. Tessa should go. She's familiar with the happenings, aren't you?"</blockquote>
