Weiryn will smile and greet the Vistani, "Greetings, and well met. We would like to speak with Madam Eva, please, if it is at all possible."

Having been given permission and directions, roland will head for the big tent, hoping the others will follow.

As Roland makes his way to the larger tent, the two Vistani guards will move aside to let him through, but keep a careful eye on him for any sign of trouble.
As you enter the tent, the old woman before you hunches over a table, and her black eyes gleam as she shuffles a deck of weathered playing cards. Her hands are bony and spotted with age. When she speaks, her voice cackles like dry weeds.
"Oh, a visitor. Welcome. Please, sit. What can Madam Eva do for you?"

@ Kaos: It's cool, I'll give you a moment OOC to discuss what you want to ask about. In the future though, do remember to use the notes thread I made for you! :P
Edit: Worst case scenarios, I guess you could always come back to visit Madam Eva later to ask her about the questions you forgot the first time around...

Following Roland into the tent, Weiryn will nod respectfully to the woman. "Greetings, madam. I am Weiryn, a faithful follower of Pharasma and member of the Lightbringers. These are my associates..." After a brief and polite introduction of the party, he gets to the matter at hand.
"Madam Eva, we have come to Barovia to cleanse the undead from the land; however, the plague here is by far stronger and more powerful than anything we have ever seen. We have been told that your wisdom is the greatest in the land, and that if anyone can guide us, it's you."

"People have said that? Well, I guess it's true. The cards tell me much, they have told me of your coming, that you have many questions..."

OOC:
As the paranoid dwarf he is, Durgrim will take a detect undead sweep of the area, just to be safe Oct 18, 2016 12:59 am
Indeed we do, Weiryn replies. I suppose my first question would be how to cure the sickness that has beset two of my companions. Unfortunately, I have been unable to alleviate their symptoms.

Okay. You can make a Diplomacy test. Others can make it as well, either for themselves or to give someone else an aid another. Weiryn, you have a +2 on yours for having been flattering to Madam Eva...

OOC:
I'll aid another now, but would like to ask about Orin's wares later. Once we have what we want, and can risk a faux pas. (The undead menace is way more important, but I did promise I would ask)Rolls
Diplomacy, Aid Another - (1d20+8)
(5) + 8 = 13

Okay, wow, 26 with the aid anothers... Madam Eva is REALLY impressed with you now.
"Of course pet, let me see what the cards have to say about this..."
She then sets a card on the table: Death.
"A dark disease created by a dark heart."
She draws another card and places it on top of the Death card, completely covering it.
"The plague spreads. To stop it you will need to destroy its creator, but you can slow it by destroying a nearby abomination at the house of holiness... Hmm, it seems Strahd is the one who created this disease and the only way to stop it is to destroy him once and for all... a task easier said than done! However you can slow the spread of the plague. The cards speak of some powerful undead creature in a church, most likely the church of Barovia."
She then draws a second card across the two first ones.
"Hard to cure but not impossible, the answers you seek are already within your grasp... Hmm, interesting, the cards are telling me you already have the means to cure this disease...I wonder why you came to me asking this question. Perhaps you are not aware you already possess such means?"
