Act II: Ill Fortunes

Weiryn makes his way to the store, steeling himself for the inevitable conversation with the insufferable shopkeep.
Feb 15, 2017 4:45 am
Weiryn knocks on the door to Bildrath's Mercantiles to hear a few moments later the weasely voice of Bildrath.

"Go away, we're closed! There is a zombie infestation going on..."
Feb 15, 2017 7:34 am
Durgrim takes a lead in the search of the town. Partly so that he can make sure there aren't any suprises lying around. He makes sure the villagers are safe, and uses the powers gifted by Torag to seach for undead now and then.
Feb 15, 2017 2:01 pm
Squaring his shoulders with a sigh, Weiryn faces the door and says "Master Bildrath, 'tis Weiryn of the Lightbringers. The infestation is over. My colleagues and I have destroyed the creature that was the source of your troubles. It is safe to open your shop once again.

I wish to perform a funeral service for those who have fallen. There are a few items I require in order to do so, and to help ensure that the dead will not trouble you and yours again. Please, open your doors."

@ Azira: Do not forget that 4 STR damage suffered at the hand of the Blaspheme... This will probably limit the amount of corpse you'll be able to carry...

@ irvanovich: You hear the voice again.

"What the infestation is over?"

You hear the noise of a heavy bar being lifted and then a lock being unlatched, the door opens a bit and Bildrath's weasel-like face peers out, observing the villagers dismantling the barricades or setting off to find bodies deeper in the village.

"Oh, I guess it is..."

He opens his door wide and gives you a slimy smile.

"Welcome, welcome to my humble shop. What is it that you require?"

Weiryn gives a tolerant smile as he walks in. "Thank you, Bildrath. This is what I need..."

After he makes his purchases, Weiryn will look at Bildrath and continue. "There will be a ceremony for the deceased this evening. A wake and cremation, if you wish to attend."

@Kajael: Durgrim normally has a 20 STR, he now has a 16, wich is still pretty buff tbh. He feels weak, for him, but he's not really.. weak.. That being said, his main focus is on keeping people safe. He'll be the first guy into the dark alleyway, and the last one out.

@Weiryn: Durgrim has 84g if you need it

@Durgrim: I've got just over 300 GP right now, and I shouldn't be much over 200 in cost. If I am, well, I can always attempt to work something out in trade. Masterwork Transformation is a wonderful spell ;)

Bildrath's markup will be 50%. You haven't broken in his shop this time... As for shrouds, I guess I could whip up my old D&D 3.0 Arms and Equipment Guide... Hmm, let's see... Fabric, Common, 50 lbs. is between 1 sp to 1 gp... Guess simply using the most basic cloth at 1 sp per 50 lbs. Just guestimate how much you'll need and then apply his usual 50% markup...

Edit: to help pay for those items, I guess you could always sell the chalice and silver bells found in the altar at the church...

Roland still has the masterwork alchemist kit to sell when we get done with the funeral, unless the group would rather it be set up for our use somewhere.

[ +- ] Weiryn's Shopping List
Weiryn completes his transaction, giving the shopkeep a fairly neutral nod while slowly lugging the heavy supplies out into the street. Once he's out in the street, he sets his pack down next to the work area and looks to see if he can spot Darren, Roland, or Durgrim.
Feb 17, 2017 2:41 am
Durgrim seems to have left, but Darren and Roland are both here helping with the barricades.
Feb 17, 2017 1:55 pm
"Weiryn, we have started building the pyres and gathered volunteers to help and collect bodies. Durgrim leads the collection party while we build here. Is there anything specific you require for this ritual?"
Feb 17, 2017 2:16 pm
With a grunt of effort, Weiryn sets the bolts of cloth he purchased down beside the work area. "If there is anyone available who can help cut this fabric into shrouds for the deceased, that would be fantastic. Has anyone gone to speak with the lady Ireena yet?Now would be an opportune moment to end her vigil and lay the late burgomeister to rest, as well.

Beyond that, all I need is time, and someone who will stand guard as Brother Silversmith and I perform the ceremony. With this many deceased, it will take quite some time for it to be complete."
Feb 17, 2017 2:21 pm
"I will stand guard at the ceremony. Who will come with me to see Lady Ireena?"
Feb 17, 2017 2:29 pm
"I would be happy to go with you brother, but I think I'd be best served if I were to stay here to assist in preparation. Perhaps the Lady Ashlyn and Roland could accompany you?"
Feb 17, 2017 2:42 pm
Pulling Darren aside as the others discuss who will be going to try and bring Ireena to the ceremony, Weiryn starts to discuss the ceremony with him.

"As we wish to get this done before the end of the day, I have procured a scroll to grant me the magic that will aid in this ceremony. The ritual itself takes 8 hours, and will provide some much needed relief and protection to many of the citizens of this village. It is a taxing ritual, but I believe it will be worth it to restore the faith to these poor people. Will you be willing to light the pyres when the time comes?"
Feb 17, 2017 2:55 pm
"Of course, Brother Weiryn. Just let me know when and I'll be happy to assist," Darren says, more than willing to let his companion lead on this; as he worships the Lady of the Grave, he's probably more suited to leading this ceremony.
Feb 17, 2017 4:32 pm
"Yes, I could assist. Sir Urik seems to be busy consoling the grieving. The villagers seem to be taking the loss of their priest Danovich pretty hard. I've heard many say something to the effect that his constant vigil was the only thing preventing the devil Strahd from consuming them all, that they are all doomed now, and other 'cheerful' things to that effect..."
Feb 17, 2017 4:44 pm
"I can go with the party to see the lady. I will take my cart to haul the body of the burgomaster home."

Roland hands off command of the pyre building to the priests, and gathers his cart to make the trip.
