Manneo - Having seen Torvin easily determine which direction they needed walks up to him and lightly claps him on the back and says, "Well would you look at that, if that isn't one of the best things that has happened to this group lately."
As you continue down the path you see a road that goes left about 30 min past the sign post you guys put together. You see a small sign by the path that reads

Ireena says "I have only heard stories about such a place, but it is just lore" "
When Strahd drove his enemies into the valley long ago, determined to annihilate them, the last thing he expected to encounter was a silver dragon.
The dragon, who called himself Argynvost, had come to the valley years earlier in the guise of a nobleman named Lord Argynvost. The dragon didn’t lair in the valley solely because of its idyllic beauty. He knew of a place called the Amber Temple — a repository of evil power guarded by the forces of good. Argynvost wanted to make sure that whatever was trapped inside the Amber Temple wouldn’t be allowed to escape, so he built his fortified mansion, Argynvostholt, close by.
Like many silver dragons, Argynvost was extraordinarily wealthy, and he was comfortable living among humans while disguised as one of them. He used his resources to attract other champions of good, and valorous knights flocked to the valley to join Lord Argynvost’s prestigious Order of the Silver Dragon. Only those who were initiated into the order were told of Lord Argynvost’s true nature.
During the war between Strahd and his foes, the Order of the Silver Dragon drove away malefactors searching for the Amber Temple. It also sheltered Strahd’s enemies and proved more than a match for Strahd’s battle-weary soldiers. But the early victories of the order didn’t win the war. Even with Argynvost on their side, the knights were ultimately overwhelmed when Strahd’s reinforcements swept into the valley. Those forces slew the last of the knights and battled the dragon inside Argynvostholt. After the dragon was slain, Strahd had its corpse hacked to pieces, stripped to the bone, and transported to Castle Ravenloft as a trophy."
Ahh yes the first card tells of history. Knowledge of the ancient will help you better understand your enemy."
1) You got the Paladin, or the Two of Swords- I see a sleeping prince, a servant of light and the brother of darkness. The treasure lies with him. This is where you will find out more about your enemy.
Manneo - Looking towards Skorn, "Perhaps he did slay that dragon, but I won't deny my curiosity is making me wonder what he was protecting? We currently are unable to do anything to Strahd and could use all of the help we can in order to end this for these people and ourselves."
Skorn says in a low voice to Manneo: agreed, but I fear Ireena will try to help as she has in the past. I would like to get her to safety before we go stalking through a dangerous ruin.
Rollback Post to RevisionRollBack
Back and ready to DM and chew bubblegum. And I'm alllll outta bubblegum.
I think the straight or path to right is to Krezck.
Torvin will investigate the broken sign to see if he can tell how the post goes by the way of the splinters line up
investigation : 12
OOC: No need to roll for that one but good roll

Manneo "Bear Killer" Thuliaga / Level 1 / Goliath / Monk - Curse of Strahd
Which way will you all go?
Skorn will nod at Torvin. Nice job, lad. Onward to Krezk! He'll continue on.
Back and ready to DM and chew bubblegum. And I'm alllll outta bubblegum.
As you continue down the path you see a road that goes left about 30 min past the sign post you guys put together. You see a small sign by the path that reads
Argynvostholt.
Do you guys wanna go there or go to Krezcyk?
Skorn asks Ireena about the place.

Skorn shakes his head. If Strahd slaughtered a silver dragon, we must get out of this place. He is as powerful as he is evil.

OOC I am crying right now, you guys make me so happy. This adventure is much better than the one at home.
