"We had different plans friends. I thought we were waiting in this room with the better footing. I will do my best to support from behind for now, but with my shield and morning star I can move to the front lines when you need me."
OOC:
Sorry guys, I misunderstood the plan. I'll try and get in better position for this round. I've moved my character on the map.

At The Ruined Estate.

The werewolves look surprised at first by Durgrim's words, speaking a bit in elven between themselves before lowering their bows a bit, but not completely, and addressing you in common, remaining still somewhat on their guard.
OOC:
We are no longer in combat... for now...
"You killed those who laired here? Other werewolves?"

At The Ruined Estate.

Durgrim watches the werewolves carefully, then nods solemnly. "Aye, so we did. But we dinnae' come here spoilin' for a fight. We were attacked." Pointing his hammer at them, he continues. "But ye dinnae' answer me. What is yer purpose here?"
OOC:
Edit: added roll (and missing header)

How about Rolling a Diplomacy or something?

Darren smiles at the Vistani man, "Could you take us to see her again, please?"

"Yes, yes, follow me."

The man take you to the big tent, where you've met Madam Eva in the past. He gestures you inside as the guards on either side of the entrance step aside yo let you in.

OOC:
I should have made a post, I added the diplomacy roll to the original post. (You might not have noticed, sorry)

OOC:
Ah, okay.
At The Ruined Estate.

The werewolves lower their bows somewhat, but not completely as they still seem weary of you. You are technically out of combat... for now.

"Careful dwarf, though you and your friends did us a favor by killing the werewolves here, I do not appreciate your tone... Our purpose was to determine if the other pack of werewolves were using this ruin as their base of operation. Given the number of tracks leading from and to here, it seems they were. They must have been more desperate than we though, the roof of the tower could've fell on them at any moment... Not our concern now though. We will leave and report the death of the other pack to our leaders. Do not attempt to follow us."

With this, the werewolves slowly back out of the corridor, carefully climbing the stairs while walking backward to keep you into their field of vision as long as they can, raising their bows a bit again in order to be ready should you try anything funny...

Weiryn bows respectfully to Madam Eva. "I am so sorry to bother you again, madam, but I fear I have need of your wisdom while we prepare to obtain the cure we spoke of earlier. Would you mind terribly if we asked you another question?"

Veroth remains hidden as the werewolves leave, before he steps gently from the shadows. "The snuck up on us too well. We would do well to keep better watch. Retreat to the room, good master dwarf, and keep an eye out on that hot door. I'll keep both eyes on stairs up until our companions return".

At The Ruined Estate.

Ryjo watches the werewolves leave, never taking his eyes off them. As they disappear, he silently makes his way back to his board and retrieves it.

Other pack? Werewolves v. werewolves? I do not see purpose in a small faction combating with itself. Unless of course, their disease isn't as rare as once thought?

"Those we killed earlier said they had been fighting the werewolves but we're infected in the process. It looks like they continued trying to wipe them out even after they were infected."

At The Vistani Camp.

Madam Eva gathers her set of worn, old tarot cards.

"Of course pet, what is it that you need Madam Eva to answer?"

Even though there was no fight, you still managed to solve that werewolf encounter, so Ryjo, Durgrim, Veroth, and Heather gains 600 XP each.

OOC:
yay!
At The Ruined Estate.

Relaxing his grip on his great hammer slightly as the werewolves retreat, Durgrim nods gravely. "Aye. Which makes those the source of the evil. We might need to deal with those later." He hefts the hammer upon his shoulder. "As ye say, Brother Veroth. I'll keep an eye on the door." Jokingly, he adds. "But I ain't retreatin'!"
Jun 3, 2018 11:07 pm
"They seemed suspiciously peaceful. I suppose they might have assumed that if we could root out their kin, we would have made a mess of them, too.

Veroth takes up a post in the shadows near the stairs.

At the Vistani Encampment

Weiryn smiles before continuing. "Have you ever heard of The Tome of Strahd, and could your cards perhaps tell us where to find it? It is mentioned in a journal we found, and we feel it may hold the key to destroying the devil Strahd."
Jun 4, 2018 2:58 pm
"The tome of Strahd? No, I do not believe I've ever heard of such a thing. Let's see what the cards have to say about this..."

She grabs her worn tarrot deck in her long bony fingers and flips a first card: The Emperor.

"The tome you seek holds knowledge of the ancient and knowledge of the land."

She then flips the covering card.

"Seek it in the place of blasphemy, where humans plumb their darkest nature. Hmm, this is a card of debasement and debauchery. The tome has become a manual for witches.

She then flips the crossing card.

"If you find the tome and delve into its secrets, you will discover the source of the lord's strength. If you read it carefully, you may also discover how to rob him of that strength. You must find the three defiled places described in the tome. At each fane, you must unearth the relic it contains. When you have all three relics, you must then destroy what you have created."

Ireena thinks of Madam Eva's reading for a moment.

"The only witches I've heard of are those who supposedly gather at the Lysaga Hills on nights of the new moon."
Jun 4, 2018 3:17 pm
Roland, listening carefully, perks at the comment of witches. He pulls a scrap of paper from under his hat and jots some quick notes so that this can be carefully repeated to the rest of the group when they return. He patiently awaits for her to finish.

"Do you know of any witches in the area?"
OOC:
Ireena's comment came up while I was typing, but the question is still relevant i think, and directed to madam eva.
