As the two men approach, getting near they see across the board is written He waves at them as they get closer, removing the board and wiping it off on his pants. He pulls out a piece of chalk, and quickly jots something down and turns it to them

Sir Urik who's hand was slowly moving towards the pommel of his sword as he was not quite sure what make of the horrid-looking traveller slowly relaxes.
"It is the only castle in these lands, so yes, he must be asking about this castle."
He then turns towards Ryjo.
"This place is Castle Ravenloft, home to that Devil Strahd. A vampire of great power and ill renown who has been terrorizing these lands for over four centirues..."

Weiryn takes a moment to read the board before he looks at Sir Urik and nods.
"It is a pleasure to meet you, Master Ryjo. We of the Lightbringers have come to Barovia to clear the land of the undead plague. From what I have noticed, people who come to this land and challenge the vampire Strahd face much in the way of adversity. We have discovered a few things that will help us in challenging him, but we have a ways still to go. If you seek his destruction, you are welcome to come along with me to meet the rest of our team."
He motions to the board that Ryjo holds, curiosity plain on his face. "If I may be so bold, why do you not speak instead of writing on that board? If it is an injury, I would be happy to pray to my Lady to restore the use of your voice."

Sir Urik will continue on Weiryn's thought on Strahd.
"As a native of this valley, I can tell you this is absolutely true. From time to time, some brave adventuring party stumble through the mist and into this valley. Once they hear about Strahd, most set off to destroy them, all met a grisly end. If you want to see for yourself, simply go to the graveyard of Barovia at midnight. Then you will see the procession of the damned, all of Strahd's victims..."
He then turns to lead the donkey-drawn cart away.
"Anyways, I must hurry back to Barovia and deliver those goods to a very grumpy dwarf... I bid thee farewell Weiryn and Ryjo. Seems fortune has delivered you a companion with whom to find your friends Weiryn. May the Gods watch over the both of you."
And with this, he leaves the two of you to continue your discussion.

Ryjo shakes his head, wiping the board off. Putting the chalk and begins writing again
No injury; personal choice, my voice is fine. I silence myself to seek atonement for past sins.
'Goodness speaks in a whisper, evil shouts.' To put it shortly; my past was loud.
If you have others seeking his end, I would be honored to accompany you to meet them. Lead the way.
Despite the quickness in which he writes, his penmanship is pretty impressive.

Weiryn dismounts from his horse, walking along with the silent warrior. As they travel, Weiryn describes their adventures and what they've learned, including the fortunes that Madam Eva has told to the party.
"...when we last parted ways, we had been set upon by werewolves who had severely injured a couple of the Vistani and left them for travellers to find on the road. I accompanied Sir Urik to see to it that they made it to their encampment alive, and now I hurry to reunite with them to tell them what I've learned of the disease that plagued the werewolves' pack. It is my hope that it is not dangerous to one who has not contracted lycanthropy, but I would still feel better knowing we have a cure if it is."

As he follows, he keeps the board clean, ready to reply
If you are in a hurry, remount your horse and let us make haste. Do not worry about me, I will keep up.Ryjo gives Weiryn time to read it before wiping it clean—though he doesn't put it back around his neck—and continues forward.

Okay, fast-forward. We're noon now so that Heather can pray for her spells, the group has just finished digging the graves of the two she-wolves the party found in the ruins sub-level when Weiryn arrives at the ruined estate accompanied by a rather sinister-looking new companion...
May 6, 2018 4:03 am
As the rest of the party comes into view, Ryjo slows his pace and begins to write on his chalk board, hanging it around his neck when he finishes.

Weiryn walks over to the graves and looks at the corpses. He shakes his head sadly as he mutters "What a cruel twist of fate, that your salvation was with you the whole time you stayed here. May Pharasma pass fair judgement on your souls, that you may finally rest."
He looks up from his brief prayer to greet his fellow adventurers. "Hail, brothers. I have tidings from Madam Eva. May I introduce Ryjo Co'erte?"

"Ah, that reminds be. Brother Durgrim, Madam Eva found your cousin's goods. Sir Urik is returning them to Orin as we speak. A small glimmer of light in the darkness, but a glimmer nonetheless."

I'll post again the loot found on each of the she-wolves and in their lair in case some identifications are in order or in case you forgot to note them earlier.20 sling bullets (the 6 ones coated in suspicious liquid will have dried out by then and become regular sling stones once again).
Two sickles.
Two rings.
Two headbands.
Two pairsof bracers.
One potion.
Two Holly and mistletoes.
446 gp.
19 sp.
40 cold iron arrows (by the look of things, I think Ujjaya took those before leaving...).
Another 6 potions.
2 small pieces of wood which detected magic and have been confirmed to be wands.
A masterwork rapier.
A masterwork studded leather armor.
A masterwork chainshirt.
Various small disposable personal items.

Roland will lay out all if the items found for the group to inspect.

Weiryn examines the gear before him muttering to himself before his eyes start to glow.
