Emre downs the water in a single draft, and silently makes note of Rictavio's choice of food. She gets a refill and goes to a seat near the front door, drinking more slowly this time.
// If Rictavio leaves again, I'd like to follow him and find out where he's going. //
Valanthe makes her way down the stairs asks for food and drink and sits at a table - alone. After both have been delivered, she takes out her sword and her whet stone and proceeds to sharpen its edges and polish the blade.
She takes bites of food and sips of drink. After five minutes or so, she moves her meal next to Erme and asks, "I saw you and HIM in a dream." She describes the room to her. "Were you haunted last night, as well?"

Relieved, Emre says, "Yes! I thought it might have just been me, but it felt so real. I suppose that means that this dream-control thing is for real, as well. What do you make of that?"
Relieved, Emre says, "Yes! I thought it might have just been me, but it felt so real. I suppose that means that this dream-control thing is for real, as well. What do you make of that?"
"I think it means that we need to be careful. We need to find anything and everything that can help us. And...... We need to find this 'queen' of his."
Byllemura joins the rest of the group, yawning, but clearly excited. "Guys! I've had a vision this night. I've been given the location of a temple in Barovia where ancient powers await and could help us defeat Strahd! It looked amazing. We need to go!"
"Byllemura this temple - was it one of an order of paladins led by a silver dragon? Rictavio mentioned such a cult and I think it lines up with what Madam Eva had told us. What else did Strahd tell each of you? Yes, you're right Thpas - the toy maker indeed, and there's a church in town the pastor of which might be able to advise us."
Valanthe catches everyone up on the conversations from the night before.
"Both Erme and I were in the same shared dream. We were in a great hall with a wooden throne. Strahd was there. He mentioned that we were all pieces in a chess game that he meant to win it. He drew us here because he was bored. He mentioned Eva by name, as well as the hags and our new friend Izrek."
"He didn't like it when I mentioned his brother..... And... He mentioned a queen - a queen he dared us to find."
Then in a whisper, "He's bitten Ireena a few times - could SHE be the queen he's talking about it?"
Suddenly, Byllemura feels a searing pain in her left arm.
Rictavio walks out the door.

Rictavio leaves the stable, walking right past Emre and toward the east end of town.

"Val, no, this was not a temple with paladins and dragons. It was a temple with fallen gods trapped in amber sarcophagi and ancient powers to wield against Strahd!" As she is saying that, Byllemura reaches for her left elbow with her right hand, clearly wincing. "Awww... I have had this pain in my arm since the morning... Anyways, I don't think we can afford overlooking any sort of advantage against the devil. I would like to go visit this place at some point during our travels around Barovia. I was told that it is located south of Barovia, at the foot of mount Ghakis."
Emre, drenched in sweat, kicks her feet out of bed, dons her armor, and goes downstairs looking for a drink of water.

My nightmares were particularly mild last night. Dealings with devils and pentagrams, Sylciss was there, too...I think.
"Did you see any sign of Strahd?" Emre asks Thpas. "He seems to be invading our dreams, and even our waking moments, as of late."

"Now that you mention... my patron did seem to know quite a lot about Strahd and his connection with this land. Why? What have you seen??"
Byllemura joins the rest of the group, yawning, but clearly excited. "Guys! I've had a vision this night. I've been given the location of a temple in Barovia where ancient powers await and could help us defeat Strahd! It looked amazing. We need to go!"

”Desecrating a chapel isn’t usually my style... aren’t we supposed to meet with the toy maker? Rictavio’s friend, right?”

If Erme walks to follow Rictavio, Valanthe will follow and ask the others, "Are you coming?"

Inside, Emre finds Rictavio feeding his apple a large, gray horse.
