No, the temperature is just above freezing.

Brata's bolt sinks into the water short of the Vodyanoi, but one of Ivan's arrows seemed to make contact with the submerged enemy. (OOC: I granted it a concealment bonus but but you made the % roll). The effect on the Vodyanoi is unclear at first, but you notice that the water begins to recede, and the river returns to its previous level. You then see the creature floating in the water.
The river is now not very wide (20' across or so) or deep, and has a very slow current (virtually non at all). Most of the river is knee deep or so with reeds along the edges. The body of the Vodyanoi is in the reeds at the far side of the river. Misha is able to retreave his spear from what is now dry land.
All Slavic characters recognize the Vodyanoi as a rare fey creature who lives in rivers and lakes. They generally keep to themselves but are known to occasionally trade fish with nearby villages. They are highly chaotic and unpredictable but not known for wickedness (attacking a Slavic temple would not be considered a common Vodyanoi act). They are able to control waters.
The Church of Mokosh still shows no signs of activity, as does the house of the priest. Both buildings' doors are open.
The shadows that you spotted earlier are now completely gone, presumably vanished into the forsest to the South.
Combat is now over. The only injured party member is Brata (3 points of damage).
I will be awarding experience for the encouter, later.

Burian Slavochka
Burian un-nocks his arrow and sling shis bow before pulling his axe and shield form his belt. "This is not good.. what would the temple have done to anger the voydanoi? Or did it think us the invaders returning to cause more damage? He sighs. "Let us see to the fate of the priest, if our friend Ivan's wounds are not too severe..."

"I'm fine," grunts Ivan, "let's see to the priest."

(OOC- Are you sure you don't mean Ivan? Sorry Nac, I checked post #70, maybe you're NOT fine!
)"Damn!", says Brata, "We should not have killed this poor creature so quickly. He must have been driven mad by some forces, they're usually not so hostile." Brata looks to the sky to try to spot Grieg, asking the owl to scan the woods for sign of disturbance.

Misha, Human Paladin 3
Misha picks up his spear, and shakes his head in discontent. Upon hearing the others he sighs, and sends a quizzical look in the Vodyanoi's direction. "Yes, let's look for the priest."
Misha heads over to the Church and takes a peek.
OOC: detect evil on it too. Instead of constantly saying I'm using it, we can assume I always do when scanning/searching, johnsemlak - as you prefer.
