"Hmm, it wouldn't surprise me one bit if Strahd was somehow behind this..."

"That's why I say we must investigate. If he can corrupt such a pious man, he is dangerous indeed. And seems to be on the offensive."

You make your way back to the village square without any problems. In the late evening, your volunteers are pretty sure they've found the last of the corpses and you finally make your ritual to send those poor souls to Pharasma. The morale among the villagers seem to have improver, but not as much as you'd hoped as there is a nasty rumors going around that Danovich succumbed to grief after his son's death and went mad, of which Sir Urik is not too pleased about... Hmm, I wonder where they could have heard about that...

Gee, I wonder...*glare goes here* :P
As the pyres die down toward the end of the ceremony, a very weary Weiryn steps down from the dais he used to deliver his performance, utterly exhausted from the days events. With a sigh and a nod, he turns to Darren and Roland. "I believe I'll turn in early for the night, brothers. We still have a lot of work to do in the days to come."
Feb 24, 2017 6:52 pm
"I agree, an early night would do us all some good," Darren agrees.

Veroth, after spending the time both assisting the others and trying to avoid the humans, looks forward to more time away from suspicious eyes.

He doesn't blame them, of course, they have much to be suspicious about, but a lifetime of distrust works both ways.

Still, his companions may detect a delicate sort of somber satisfaction from the Strix.

Deadly tired after lumping around corpses after being weakened by the Blaspheme, Durgrim nods at the suggestion of an early night. "Aye, brothers. We all need rest now. I'll take first watch. Just need to check on me cousin first."

Durgrim will go and check if his cousin is allright, and let him know about the state of his wares in the gentlest fashion he can, making sure he understands there are bigger fish to fry first, but he will get his wares one way or another.

Where do we rest? The mansion again?

You can rest at Ireena's mansion, or the inn which has been emptied of refugees, or the church which has been cleared of undead...

Weiryn will stay in the church, taking time after he rests a few hours to pray over the grounds and ask that Pharasma cleanses the taint the undead have left behind.

@ Azira. Your cousin Orin is staying at teh inn. He'll be glad to see you. "Good day to you cousin. I've hear the blight upon this land is finally over. So, did you managed to figure out if those thieves did have my wares?"
Feb 25, 2017 8:04 pm
Durgrim nods slowly, untangling a bit of beard from his chainmail. "Aye. We dinnae know exactly who the thieves are, but we know they are Vistani." He looks into his cousins eyes, then lays a hand on his shoulder reassuringly.

"Their wise-woman told me they have their own ways of dealing with thieves. What that truly means I dinnae' know. She promised yer wares would be returned though. I don't completely trust 'em, but I say we let them have a chance to make amends."

Patting Orin gently on the shoulder, Durgrim straightens up and straightens his mail. "If the wares don't turn up we'll try a different shaft. What say ye' cousin? Let me deal with this mess first, and ye'r wares will be returned one way or another."

"Those scoundrels, I knew it! Of course they would have left town as soon as news of the undead plague was over, so I doubt we'll find them in the inn tonight... Well, I guess you're right cousin. We'll do things your way from now on. Even though the dead no longer roam the streets, there is still that mist and that Strahd fellow. I've also heard stories of ghosts and werewolves. You be careful out there cousin!"
Feb 26, 2017 9:24 pm
Durgrim nods, visibly releaved. "I will. Ye take care too, cousin, and keep yer ear to the ground. Ye might overhear somethin' I can't out there. Ye should be safe here for now, I'll be back to check on ye. Torag be with ye, Orin." He turns around, hefts his hammer onto his shoulder and leaves to rejoin his fellow Lightbringers.

Roland will stay at the church. It seems as good a place as any for lightbringers to make a base. He will use this night to repair the floor, put the alchemy station back together, and then clean his guns.
Feb 27, 2017 4:33 pm
So no sleeping for Roland? :P

Repairing this hole in the floor will also require some materials...

Does everyone else spends the night at the church?

OOC:
church is good!
Feb 27, 2017 6:36 pm
OOC:
Aye

Kayleigh, Kuroi, and Ashlyn feel like staying at the inn, both to continue gaining the villager's trust, but also to be near in case something happens to the survivors. Sir Urik, for his part, will convince Ireena and Ismark to let him stay at their mansion, so he can keep an eye on Ireena as he promissed Weiryn he'd do. So that leaves only the active PCs at the church.

Can we tear down the desks and pews to repair the floor?

Also, if it doesn't get done then it doesn't, but atleast a nominal amount of rest will occur.
Feb 27, 2017 9:40 pm
I guess tearing down the pews could serve as some sort of temporary fix. Fixing a floor seems more like a job for a professional carpenter.
