Act II: Ill Fortunes (Part 2, the morning after)

As you make your way towards the Blood on the Vine Tavern, you notice through the mist-enshrouded streets that daily life has resumed as best it can. Merchants have their shops open, people go about their business children play in the street under the watchful eyes of their parents, though everyone looks sorrowful and defeated but try their best to mask it. As you reach the Blood of the Vine tavern, you are surprised to see a quatuor of Vistani in front of the establishment engaged in a loud and colorful conversation which clashes with the dourness of the village of Barovia. They seem to be entirely absorbed in their own conversation-which is in a language none of you understand-and pay you no heed...

Weiryn does not sense any hostility emanating from the Vistanis, but he does have the feeling that this animated discussion to be an elaborate act. This whole thing feels staged. Even though Weiryn does not understand to language, he has the feeling the Vistanis are struggling to keep coming up with new subjects of conversation in order to keep the charade going, and their exaggerated motions while talking seems to serve only as a distraction so that your eyes would be drawn to them in the hope you'd overlook something else...

I depends on whether they save or not. I'm pretty sure I saw somewhere that if you successfully save, you are aware something happened, but not necessarily what it was... Also, do you have a way to mask your casting, like Still Spell or Silent Spell?

Roland will notice that the first 3 Vistani's loud and colorful conversation is meant to hide the fourth one which is silently observing the party, but otherwise not taking any sort of action against you...

@ irvanovich: Hmm, sounds like you're hiding your casting, so a Stealth check opposed by their Perception? Perhaps a Bluff too if you are are trying to pass your casting as something else?

Edit: also, your detect thoughts link leads to comprehend language...
