"His also insane," Rudolph replies. "If you don't partake in his festivals, he sees that as you being in league with Strahd and has you executed. I would avoid him if I were you, even if he doesn't agree with Strahd, he has it set in his mind that if you smile and enjoy yourself it will keep him away. His wrong, but he just has those that say he is killed on the spot," Rudolph responds quietly. "His gone insane from the time in this place, I fear," he finishes.
Roselina had heard Rudolph, nodding back as she sighed. "Alright then. Good to know." she said back with a nod before looking to the others. "Shall we go right away or in the morning?" she directed at the others since they hadn't said anything yet about when they should go do this job.
Quilrith ponders everything that has been said, weighing up the options.
"So this Job we are to help you accomplish, what exactly will our role be? I'm happy to leave straight away, although we have been travelling most of the day, I don't feel all that tired."
"If there is enough daytime left I say we go now. Ebur met some hunters who may be able to guide us to this pool but they will not travel at night and I agree. Night does not seem safe here. "
"Their about 835 yards down the road to the southwest of town, just within the forest line," Van Ritchen replied. "I'd suggest going in the morning, it's already rather late," he added.
Don't forget, you were arriving here just as "sunset" time was around, though it was hard to tell, it is now getting dark and the night has arrived.
"Then let us get some rest tonight, and enjoy the warmth of the fire, and a cosy bed after wandering around this strange land all day, Perhaps we may find some merriment in this bleak place."
Quilrith slowly drinks his drink, and watches the others especially Van Richten, unsure weather to trust anyone in this place, but hopeful that they had found an ally.
Ebur thanks Vrak for his thoughtfulness but excuses himself saying he is uncomfortable enough being indoors even for a short time, and couldn't sleep here all night. He goes outside and sleeps somewhere more familiar, such as under a tree.

Roselina had heard Rudolph and everyone else, realizing how late it is as she nodded in agreement to going to sleep and heading out in the morning. She then heard Vrakvroth, smiling as she took the key. "Thank you and yes, that will work." she said to him before she left and went to her room. Roselina walked in, closing the door as she sighed and was completely disgusted by how plain and run-down this room is. This shouldn't even qualify as an proper establishment for her to stay in, but it's the only place they can sleep at right now. She is also stuck with these weirdos too, wanting to hurry up and stop Strahd already, knowing that this will be a long journey ahead. She took off her makeup, changing into a nightgown and pinning her hair up as she looked out the window, missing home. Then Roselina yawned and soon tucked herself in bed, falling fast asleep.
You all turn in for the evening, as the dark night of Barovia, and the mists ever present roll around. While Ebur is sleeping, the mists roll in. ((Ebur, I need a constitution saving throw from you))
You all get an evenings rest, ready for the next day, the mists still not cleared and though you feel like it's daytime, the fog makes visibility poor.
As Sova approaches Ebur is pushing his toes into the bare patch of earth beneath the scraggly tree beside the tavern, drawing on the powers of nature. He looks up and says:
Good morning. Are we to visit more of the Vistani then?

Sova replies, "I would assume so. I just came out here to see if you were alright. I'm not sure if the others are awake yet. Why do you sleep outside?"
Ebur looks around at the buildings and roads and replies: I have never before set foot in a town or village - the forces of nature here feel ... weak. And these buildings ... they are like cages to me - the air is still and there is no sky. Perhaps in time I could grow accustomed, but for now I prefer it ... how do you say ... outside.

You all regather and eat, and start to make your way to the Vistani camp by following the Old Slavich Road West out of town. As you reach the edge of the city proper, you come across a slouching, centuries-old stone church with a bulging steeple in the back and walls lined with cracked, stained glass windows depicting pious saints. Next to the church is a garden of graveyards surrounded by a fence of wrought iron. A thin mist creeps among the graves, different to the thick mists of Barovia you have been seeing all around. The doors to this church of the Morninglord stand open.
Ebur is curious about this slightly more elegant edifice compared to the drab buildings he's seen so far. He wanders over to peek cautiously inside the door (still wary of buildings in general).
(OOC: Sorry forgot to post it but ... before we leave the tavern, can Ebur please attempt to speak with the ravens?) Questions to ask: - We are seeking the Keepers of the Feather. Are you they? - We seek allies in our opposition to the devil Strahd. Can you aid us?

Ebur asks Rudolph: How far is the Vistani camp? Can we travel there, conclude our business and return before nightfall?

"I have secured rooms for us for the night. Most of us will share one room. "
He turns to Roselina
"M'lady I have reserved a private room for you. " and gives her the key.
"Let us retire for the night and meet in the common room first thing in the morning. "

Waking up, Sova immediately goes to check on Ebur after gathering his things.
As Sova approaches Ebur is pushing his toes into the bare patch of earth beneath the scraggly tree beside the tavern, drawing on the powers of nature. He looks up and says:

Sova understands, as a hunter, sleeping outside, "Then, I will join you outside next we rest. It is safer to be with companions than alone."
