There is always Danovich's journal you can read to pass the time.
Jul 19, 2017 4:09 pm
That's actually a really good idea. (I had forgotten all about it.) Lets do that. I will study through the journal until time to leave, or until asked by a fellow group member to share.
Jul 19, 2017 9:06 pm
Roland finds himself a secluded area to read the journal in peace. There are many entries which describes his daily duties as a priest, then some mentions his son's death on the old Svalich Road and his eventual descent into madness, but two particular entries stand out from the rest...

Veroth, sitting on the church roof, realizes that he has been holding onto the symbol of ravenkind. He discretely flies down and finds the others to discuss what they should do with it.

Once her spells are healed Heather walks up to Veroth casting 2 iterations of Lesser Restoration to heal is ability damage. After Veroth has received her treatment Heather walks over to Roland as he is reading the journal. His damage is more extensive than she is used to treating but she does her best.

Once Roland is healed Heather asks.
"What is this book that has capturesd your attention so?"
OOC:
Damnit, sorry Roland. I was gambling and saved one Level 2 spell for the rest of the day. Hopefully tomorrow Heather's healing skills will be up to the task

"Thank you, mistress," Veroth nods. He stretches out his wings, feeling stronger and more game.
Jul 19, 2017 10:08 pm
OOC:
Shit Happens. No worries.
Roland will show the others the entries.

OOC:
Deleted one of Kaos' post. for some reason, it posted twice.
Ireena will answer Veroth.

"Both me and my brother tried to use it before and it failed for us. Your friend Weiryn told me that is because it needed to be bonded to a person in order to work. I have no idea what my father did the bind the holy symbol to him, sadly, and we cannot ask him anymore... Could magic decipher the holy symbol's mysteries?"

Veroth recalls several instances where he has discerned a devices usage simply by experimenting with it. He is half tempted to try that here, but he recalls rare events where the object has reacted badly to his probings. He knows that the symbol is a holy relic and deserves respect. "Soft ones not damage it. Much caution needs." He reviews his words in his head, and nods.

It is a holy symbol, perhaps if I study it I can discern some information about its use.

Knowledge religion check - (1d20+6)

(4) + 6 = 10

Heather cannot glean any information on the holy symbol at the moment.
Jul 20, 2017 11:22 am
OOC:
Sorry for being afk a bit. For reference Durgrim is still down 4 CON (so we'll get that sorted in the morning)


Durgrim asks Heather to see the symbol, and tries to remember relevant scripture.

Rolls

Knowledge religion - (1d20+10)

(4) + 10 = 14

Darren joins the others in inspecting the holy symbol.

Rolls

Religion - (1d20+9)

(7) + 9 = 16

Jul 20, 2017 12:35 pm
Nobody seems to recall any sort of pertinent information at the moment...
Jul 20, 2017 12:52 pm
This being a religious artifact, perhaps pre-madness father danovich had a hand in its binding. Roland with recheck the journal with this specific task in mind.
OOC:
I have also included a Knowledge Local roll as it is the only knowledge I have that might be relevant.
Disregard it if it is not relevant.

Rolls

knowledge local - (1d20+7)

(18) + 7 = 25

There are some mention of the holy symbol in the journal, as probably the only thing in this land capable of keeping Strahd at bay. He also mentions accompanying Indirovich, the old Burgomaster to Castle Ravenloft's throne room, which suddenly jogs your memory about Madam Eva's reading. There is also mention of some sacrifice of wealth which was needed in the ceremony, the exact amount left vague...
Jul 20, 2017 1:06 pm
Ireena will then speak up.

"Again, I'm no expert in magic, but can't any of you use some sort of spell to try and determine anything about the holy symbol of ravenkind? I swear I've heard stories of mage capable of divining this sort of things... Or maybe I'm just speaking nonsense..."
Jul 20, 2017 1:09 pm
"Wieryn probably could," Darren says, "He dabbles in the arcane, maybe we should ask him?"
Jul 20, 2017 1:49 pm
"The journal has some hints. As did madam Eva. We must place the symbol on the throne if an ancient king. And the journal says there must be a sacrifice if wealth. I know not how much.
Yar, it's confusing. But I think we are in the right track."
Jul 21, 2017 1:34 am
"If we had such a scroll, there's a chance I could use it. But I don't have one."
