The Baron says " Baron Vargas Vallakovich! Gentlemen it is a great pleasure. We rarely see adventurers in our town. You must come to the Festival of the Blazing Sun! I believe that if I can make everyone in Vallaki happy, then the town will slip free of Strahd’s dark grasp"
Manneo - Being dismayed at the fact that he did not receive an answer as to why the man was staring at them says, "It is good to meet you Baron. While I appreciate the invitation to this festival my companions and I are attempting to escort someone to another town and this festival may slow us down. I do feel for all of the people that are being brought down by this Strahd, but I do not think that good feelings and wishing other well will bring about an end to the suffering." Looking at the guards with the Baron he says pointing at Eric, "This man was staring at our party which has put us on edge and if You do not know why he was doing this, I would like to know the reason before he is released from this Inn."
The Baron says " Come now, let him go and there won't be any trouble. My man Irving will see to it that he is properly dealt with" He snaps his finger and a beefy man comes and takes Eric by the collar.
Mr. Greenleaf - Glancing across the Baron and his men confused "How can you celebrate the blazing sun if you can barely see it? What do you do at this festival? Is there free food?" listening to Manneo talk about the current task at hand Flyn will look toward Ireena and wave her over to them.
Ireena comes over and says to the Baron" Well Baron Vargas, my father told me so much about you". The Baron looks over to Ireena and says " Is that Kolyan's daughter? Ahhh Ireena how are you? What brings you this side of Barovia?" She says " I am on the way to Krezck with my friends" "We are on the way to see the Abott"
Skorn watches this all unfold silently. At Ireena's question he'll step forward. I am sorry, but I think not. We really should be moving on. We have much ground to cover before night falls. He steps forward, catching Manneo's eye, and gives him a let's go signal. Thanks to you, Baron, but we will be taking our leave now.
Rollback Post to RevisionRollBack
Back and ready to DM and chew bubblegum. And I'm alllll outta bubblegum.
You all walk out the gates and on down the road. As time goes by, you have walked 2 hours now. You see the road comes to an X intersection, with branches to the northwest, northeast, southwest, and southeast. The lower half of a snapped wooden signpost thrusts upward at an angle near the eastern elbow of the intersection. The top half of the sign, featuring arms pointing in four directions, lies in the weeds nearby.
Mr. Greenleaf - Sporting a slightly resentful glare towards Manneo and Skorn, Flyn will ***** and complain under his breath the whole trip sometimes accidentally raising his voice "How could they pass up on free food... FREE FOOD." glacing around hoping nobody heard him "These guys wouldn't even know a good thing when it's right in front of them unbelievable... just unbelievable."doing his best to imitate Skorn in a low Dwarvish accent "Oh nah we don need free grub b-for this longgggg walk... FREE FOOD." (<--this outburst in a crappy Dwarvish accent) as he snacks on the food he has stuffed in his pockets
Manneo - Seeing the sign broken does a small chuckle and says, "But of course the sign simply couldn't point the way! Ireena you don't happen to know which direction we should take do you". He awaits her reply.

Manneo - Confused at the fact that Ireena knows this baron turns and looks at the group and shrugs his shoulders as in a "Now what?" kind of way.

Mr. Greenleaf - Can I tell if he's being sincere or if he has an ulterior motive?

You think he is being genuine with his interaction with Ireena
Ireena says " Well guys, should we stop by real quick before we head out of town?"
Skorn watches this all unfold silently. At Ireena's question he'll step forward. I am sorry, but I think not. We really should be moving on. We have much ground to cover before night falls. He steps forward, catching Manneo's eye, and gives him a let's go signal. Thanks to you, Baron, but we will be taking our leave now.
