"Ah, Weiryn, glad to see you again friend. I was talking to Ismark here, taking news about the village of Barovia... I'm sorry, I did not quite had the time to go check on Ireena at her mansion just yet. I feel walking alone in the streets might be a bit imprudent at the moment..."
Oct 26, 2016 9:15 pm
Of course, Sir Urik! My companions and I just returned, and we are preparing to investigate the church. If you are willing, we would be honored to have you join us.
Oct 26, 2016 9:21 pm
"Of course. I admit, I am terribly worried about the priest Danovich, especially since I just learned his son Doru was murdered by brigands on the old Svalich Road several weeks back..."

OOC:
Would that be enough to trigger a memory? Lol

"Torag fortifies me against sickness, so I suggest someone else take the necklace. I have not used of Torags power yet today, and am fit to fight. Bringing allies with us is always wise though, so anyone that we can trust and would be useful would be welcome."
OOC:
Edit: this was regarding the discussion on the previous page. I didn't see this page :o

"I could always take the necklace, since I do not have the resistance to disease most paladins have, but given my natural fortitude, I feel it might be a bit wasted on me... Brother Darren perhaps?"

"If no one else would want it, I'd be happy to wear it for now," Darren says, gratefully taking the amulet back and slipping it on.

Weiryn's eyes seem to lose focus for a moment as he recalls what the burgomaster told him about the priest's son and Madam Eva's premonition about the creature in the church...

Rolls

Knowledge (Arcana or Religion, both have the same modifier) - (1d20+12)

(16) + 12 = 28

Weiryn will suddenly be reminded of something. He heard of a creature called a blaspheme, a creature which can only be created using the body of a slain kin (son, daughter, brother, sister, mother, father). It is a very powerful intelligent undead creature with a very wicked blasphemous bite which dazes its victim and drain it from its strength. It is also a bit resistant to non-slashing weapons, is immune to cold, and is not required to run in a straight line to charge. It is not renown to usually carry diseases, but like most other undead, it still makes for a very good carrier...
You think that the 8 of you might have a chance against it, depending on what else is there...

Oh, hells... Weiryn whispers. We should be off, Sir Urik, if we are to finish our investigation by nightfall. leaving the inn, Weiryn will hurry to the others.

I think I know what we'll be up against... he says before explaining about blasphemes.

Brother Silversmith, if you are on the front lines in this fight, you should wear that necklace.

OOC:
As a paladin, Durgrim is immune to diseases.
Edit: Oh, nevermind, I see you were talking to Darren and not Durgrim... D'oh!

"A Blaspheme? and those are it's abilities? By the gods... no wonder Threndrick and Matilda died... Those obstinate fools, if only they had listened to the town folks... Do you believe we can kill it?"
Oct 26, 2016 11:26 pm
"Do we have a choice?"
Oct 26, 2016 11:33 pm
"No, I guess we don't. So long as this abomination lives, the dead will walk the street. Suffer no false life!"
Oct 26, 2016 11:34 pm
"I'm very concerned that only a relative could've created such creature... Oh Danovich my old friend, what has happened to you..."
Oct 26, 2016 11:42 pm
If it truly is Danovich who created this beast, then it could have been the loss of his son. Grief does terrible things to the mind.

Turning to Ashlyn, he says, I believe that, with all of us working together, we have a chance. To that end, here is what I propose...

Brother Durgrim and Sister Ashlyn, the two of you will serve as our front line going into the church. Veroth, you should stick to the skies and serve as a scout, keeping a look out for anything that may be lurking in the dark.

Sir Urik, you and I will serve as healers and support, if you are amenable to the idea. Brother Silversmith will back up Ashlyn and Durgrim, providing the support of the light. Brothers Roland and Ujjaya will unleash from their bow and firearms. If we work together, we will cleanse this holy temple of the scourge and alleviate many of the problems plaguing this village.

If this plan is agreeable to everyone, I suggest we all make preparations for battle, and make our way to the church.

"Sounds like a plan to me. The church is down that street." Sir Urik will point to the diagonal street which reaches the town square. "I'd say it's about 180 or so feet away from here..."
OOC:
So this is your marching order to reach the church as well?

When you're ready to go, Veroth can roll me a Stealth and Perception checks.

OOC:
If everyone agrees to it, yes.

Before entering the church, Weiryn will cast the spells from the scrolls he bought from Bildrath. I needs me some stronger DCs
