"Barovians do preserve in despair, but there is no reason to hoard what we have when others suffer, regardless of my brother's appetite." Ismark scowls, though Ireena's smile indicates the statement was partially in jest.Ireena tightens her lips again at the request about visitors. "In my father's time and his fathers, visitors were unheard of. In the last year or two... less than a handful. All seemed lost, and the visanti brought them here. They are the only ones who can freely move about. The curse.... it does not touch them." Ashlyn seconds the request, and after a moment, Ireena nods reluctantly, biting her lip. "He fell ill suddenly, a few days before the dead arose. We have not been able to inter the body as of yet. We shall do so when the town is seen to." The woman is still obviously upset about the death.[sblock=Ashlyn][Sense Motive] Ireena is trying to hide something about her father's death.[/sblock][Heal Check]An examination of the Burgomaster's body does not turn up anything obvious such as open wounds. It would be inappropriate to search fully under the clothes, however, with Ireena present. Both Ashlyn and Janis note a paleness about the eyes and mouth that would indicate a possible disease, though Ashlyn thinks poison is possible culprit as well. The signs to not point to that necromantic infection, assuming it was a disease.Ireena deflects the question, simply stating that she made do what was in the larder. "We make do when the wolves are at the door, as all Barovians do.""I-I have never been there. It has been abandoned by all that is good for time beyond counting, the heart of the blackness in our land. None sane venture there. Avoid it at all cost." She is obviously uncomfortable talking about it.</blockquote>
