On the Road Again

[Rakle]

Story

In the morning, the Knights and the group will be leaving Barovia to escort the two girls back to their village. Then everyone can return to Lastwall.

That evening, Ismark pulls the group into the first floor Burgomaster offce. "I have been reviewing the documents in the satchel that retrieved from Ravenloft. Most of the documents are centuries old. They have become unreadable, or too outdated to be of any value. Here is a few letters about hiring the wizard to destroy the sunsword" He tosses the those letters on a desk. We all know that failed"

But not all of them. . . Ismark mentions before he takes out a few newer pieces of correspondance. "You might want to read this documents. The oldest is around 100 years old. Some followers of someone named Lissala had proposed a deal to have some of their leaders receive Strahd's gift.   Then there are some correspondances back and forth that hammer out the deal.

Then he points to the newest looking correspondence. "It looks to be a few decades old, he explains before starting to read part of it "Dear Count Zarovich, May Lissala bless you and watch over you. blah blah blah. Your gift of long life has been a blessing. We thank-you again for it blah blah blah. Here is an interesting part: We have recently moved to Palin's Cove in Korvosa's controlled lands. It is located northwest of Korvosa on the mouth of the Falcon River. If you ever need us, call upon us. It is signed the Feasters Of the Heart.

He then hands over this letter

 

Ooc

Know religion - Lissala ; Know local - Palin's cove; or whatever skills that you feel are relevant.

FYI: For anyone joining us, the Count was a vampire just recently killed by the party.

Ilyrana pondered the possibility of "hoofing" it and thought bugger that, she says "I like the idea of moving by magic, we can sell the mounts and buy another in Korvosa. What we could do with is an airship, now that could be fun eh" she says with a smirk.

 

I apologise for the double post, it would seem that I edited this post instead of cloning, sorry.

Kero had been a new member of the group and had not quite gotten the confidence to speak up when he spent so much time scouting and moving about alone. Though the current situation is rather important for everyone who knows something to speak up now for the benefit of the group.

He slides next to the taller Ilyrana quietly and tries to peek at the letter she is looking over before coming to any conclusions. His motions are quick and silent, maybe not even Ilyrana notices him by her side.

"Korvosa, eh? I haven't been out that way in years." Vergren says, taking a swig from a gallon jug. He holds it out to the others, offering a drink, but hesitates when he offers it to the new halfling that just joined up. "You old enough?" He says, before cracking a smile and pushing the jug toward him.

"Lissala... Lissala..." he muses, taking another drink. "Seems like something I should know what with all the book-learnin' and godly study in my days, but then, I've taken a few knocks to the head too. Some of that knowledge just falls right out." He mutters a quick spell and touches his hip flask emblazoned with Gozreh's leaf, making it glow with faint light as he tries to remember.

As the dwarf seemed to be shoving his jug of strong smelling drink his way, he nearly bumps into Ilyrana, his eyes wide as he stares at the jug.. "I.. I'll.. have you know I am TWENTY TWO!" he blurts out. "A..as for the drink, no thanks.."

He moves over slightly trying to avoid bumping into Ilyrana further should the dwarf advance his personal space again, he responds, "I... I.. prefer honey mead... If you ever come across any, or Elven wine.. Not the ss..sstuff that makes a dwarves beard sss.sstand on end or put's hair on a half-fling's feet.."

Ulrica Wiesbaden, Grey Maiden and Templar of Arqueros.

Ulrica Wiesbaden, helmless for the moment, her blonde hair in its maiden braid almost to her waist, seems to pay no attention to any of this. She's got a goblet of mead in her hand and has barely refrained from putting her feet up on Ismark's desk. Even so she appears very much at her leisure, despite her wearing her heavy plate armor. Clearly miles away, she is trying to recall what the payment terms were on this contract out of Lastwall.

"Thanks for the gift of long life?" she echoes in her trademark 'dragons wouldn't rile me' drawl. Somewhat late to the conversation topic, she only now comes out with.... "Seems like Strahd passed on before he well.. passed on."., This she delivers in a murmur, accompanied by a smirk, clearly more than happy to continue to come out with jokes about the now dead vampire noble.

She says not a word about Korvosa, though something of a shadow passes over her expression every times the city name comes up in conversation.

"Feasters of the Heart, huh? Can't imagine their untimely end will be much lamented in many quarters.", she says, burnishing her killer knight credentials.

Knowledge checks

Ilyrana and Vergren recall that Lissala was very a minor deity in old Azlant. Her worship was carried over to Thassilon, and eventually she become the chief god for them. Runes, fate and obedience were key areas of her focus (Lawful Evil god) . She was presumed to be dead god since Thassilon was obliterated by Earthfall, and no one actively worships her anymore.

Upon hearing the mention of Thassilon, Kero mentions that Thassilon was ruled by seven runelords. Each runelord was linked to specific sin. If runelord died, someone else would rise up and take their place.

Ilyrana recalls that Palin's Cove is grime dirty smoky factory town located 25 leagues or so northwest of Korvosa. Originally it was military's base that grew into a town. The town's factories primarily manufacture war materials with a strong focus on large machines such as catapults, ballistae, and trebuchets.

"I left Korvosa when the Queen got killed. When we go there, if we go there.. it would be best if steered clear of the city. The armor I wear, would perhaps draw a deal of pointed criticism from some quarters. Well quarters if they came at me.", murmurs Ulrica, once more evincing her trademark punnish humor. Her humor's not wrong though.. since she has a habit of cutting people into pieces with her fauchard.

The hermit of the woods, worshipper of a deity of nature, looks at the others glumly, "Yer telling me we have to go to some stinking factory town, with that cursed dead queen, and worshippers of an evil god called 'Feasters of the Heart'? Oh, this is going to be a lark." He says sarcastically. All things considered though, this cult probably deserves stabbing or shooting, or smiting for that matter, more than most. "Ah, but what else have I got to do? Let's get to it then. Think we can get a wagon from the gypsies to carry all our stuff?"

Story

The vampire slaying crew rides out of Barovia. Now they need to decide how they will travel to Palin's Cove...

 

Ooc

The upper purple x is the party's current location. The lower X is Palin's cove. It is roughly 470 miles as the crow flies.

The purple outlined area is Belkzen. Between Belkzen and the mountains, a straight route to the Cove isn't very feasible. One option is travel to Vigil and pay someone to teleport party members to Korvosa. If the party sells their mounts, it would run about 150 gp per person. Otherwise it would run about 450 gp per PC and their large sized mount.

The overland route of Vigil, to the grasslands between Northern Fangwood & Belken to the gaps in the mountains to Palin's Cove would be about 540 miles.

"Well we have to get paid by Lastwall for the job we did for them. Oh and maybe collect a reward for this little caper we just finished. The good thing about working for Lastwall is sometimes they'll do the right thing, and this mess was right on their doorstep. I doubt they'll be interested in supporting our work on the West Coast, but we might get a discount on transport services."

"Hoofing it sounds good."

As the discussion on how they are going to travel unfolds, Kero has no objection to walking or riding in a wagon. He seems to get lost in thought on what to do if they need to investigate the town on his own. He is used to scouting alone and anything he can find out in advance might help the group manage getting through or around the city ruled by a vampire.

"I.. I am fine with whatever m.method we travel." he says. "Snacks for the road w.would be good."

Ulrica displaying her usual nonchalance, something not reflected in her use of her polearm, drawls.. "We don't need to make a decision until we're in Vigil in Lastwall. So let's be off before the locals have me wearing monochrome and and scowling at all and sundry." She grins and adds.. "Inbreds."

Ilyrana pondered the possibility of "hoofing" it and thought bugger that, she says "I like the idea of moving by magic, we can sell the mounts and buy another in Korvosa. What we could do with is an airship, now that could be fun eh" she says with a smirk.
