Fae grins at Rictavio. "We're new," she tells him cheerfully. "That's Enialis, and that's Hadrian, and that's Elyse, and that's Phanuel, and that's Ireena, and that's Ismark! We're all traveling together right now, but we might not be soon, cause I think maybe Ireena will be staying in Vallaki, but that's up to her and stuff."
"Well it nice to meet you all. Welcome to Vallaki and I'll say that if you stay in the Blue Water Inn during your time in Vallaki all will be well, as our dear Burgomaster likes to say."

Hadrian gives in to his curiosity. "I'd like to ask you a question about that, master Rictavio. How well liked is the Burgomaster? It sounds like he ends up punishing people who do not participate in certain celebrations."
Rictavio laughs. "You're lucky that none of the Burgomaster's men are in here. They'd throw you in the stocks! But it's just Urwin, who's used to hearing people complain over a pint of Red Dragon Crush and me, a humble fool who has the ability to speak freely, since no one takes him seriously."He leans in close to you. "The people say that he is deluded and that his celebrations are utterly pointless affairs."

“Fool, eh?” Hadrian becomes more intrigued by this “fool” who seems to know more than he lets on. “Tell me—the man with the monstrous, barbed arm; who is he? What’s his story?”
"His name is Izek. He's the Burgomaster's right hand man. Can't say that I know too much about him, he's always in the Burgomaster's mansion when he's not taking care of business. But I'm sure that that arm of his is trouble. Just look at the thing!"

Phanuel glances to the man that has caught Hadrian's attention, "Perhaps he bears a heritage counter to my own?" He smiles to the fool, "What's the mood here in town, outside of 'All is well'? Is the Beast a problem here as well?"
Rictavio shrugs. "Outside of the arm, Izek seems normal enough. He's only a problem if you move against the Burgomaster. As for the mood here, it's not different than anywhere else in Barovia."

Phanuel looks to their travelling companions, "Is there anywhere you can think to keep Ireena safe? It sounds like somewhere away from the burgomeister is probably a good start."
After the last encounter Enialis has been very quiet as he has slipped slowly into his winter persona again, his good mood from Olyvar ruined. He lets out coldly, "Let's sell that stupid man's rewards. Get some coin. Maybe better weapons or something if we're going to do the thing."
This large stockyard has several locked sheds along its periphery and lies adjacent to a roomy warehouse. A wooden sign above the front gate reads “Arasek Stockyard.” Parked at the south end of the stockyard is a sturdy carnival wagon, its colorful paint peeling off. Faded lettering on its sides spells out the words “Rictavio’s Carnival of Wonders.” A heavy padlock secures the back door. The yard is run by a middle-aged married couple, who warmly greet you upon arrival. "Welcome to Arasek Stockyard." The woman says. "How may we help you today?"

"We have a few silvered weapons, for those who can pay for them." (As outlined in the PHB, the price for a silvered weapon is the standard price plus 100 gold)

Phanuel looks to their travelling companions, "Is there anywhere you can think to keep Ireena safe? It sounds like somewhere away from the burgomeister is probably a good start."
"Well there was talk of her staying here at the inn. Ireena, does this seem like a good place for you, at least temporarily?"
"Yes. I like this inn and I like the people in it."
