Bry had found a seat near a campfire, and was sharing stories with a few of the Vistani campers when he notices a few of his companions talking to the other folks in the camp. He surmises they took the old ladies bait and are asking questions about the various "prophecies".
He turns his attention back to the men around the campfire, "So, the old lady with the cards, what is her story?"
This post has potentially manipulated dice roll results.
Davmorn trusts his compatriots to research the information that is required from the fortune teller's prophecies. He knows how easily it is for evil to creep into this work and as he begins to remember more about his training; Davmorn knew that the undead was something not to trifle with nor was it something that he would ignore. To bring safety to the world, he would make it his mission to kill this Strahd and Gulthias Tree. At the very least, it may bring him a little peace.
Davmorn took notice of the fortune tellers offer for more information but he was not one to be swindled; instead he would try to talk to her.
He moves closer to the fortune teller and speaks in his brogue, "The name is Davmorn Runehouse. These fellows and I were invited to aid the Burgomaster Kolyan Indirovich and his daughter. May I ask what your name is, lass? And how you became so skilled with telling of cards?"
The man is suitably shocked, and somewhat confused, by the giant half-orc now vigorously shaking him, "i-I'm sorry, who? A dusk elf? There are no dusk elves here! Wait, wait yes I know one! His name is Kasimir Velikov! Kasimir Velikov! He has no ears, you can't miss him!" The Vistani man is now instantly sobering up from the shock.
Meanwhile, with Bry at the campfire, the men all seem to give the same answer, just in varying forms. "I heard that Madam Eva is powerful spellcaster who befriended the Vistani." "No, no, she just appeared one day and has been here ever since." "Nah, she's witch who made a deal with Mother Night, I know that because my great-grandfather knew her when he was a kid, and she was the same age!" The general gist of what you gather is mostly she's a powerful Vistani, but no one really knows her too well.
Whilst this is happening, Madam Eva takes another swig of wine, "You want to know my story, do you guardian of the cold grave. Very well." The flaps to the tent close once again, "My name is Madam Eva, and I am the matron of the Vistani people... I wish to end Strahd's reign, and to replace him with another. As for my abilities, you and I are similar in that we share an affinity for Divine magics. I could be thought of as a cleric in that regard. I am Madam Eva, nothing more, nothing less."

"What evils has this creature done to you and your people? You and I are may be similar, but I still do not know what role you are playing here. Who is Strahd to you and who would you have replace him?" Davmorn begins to question Madam Eva while keeping a hard eye on her.
((Not sure which you would prefer, so I'll do both... Insight Check12 or Persuasion Check 2))
He finishes with a bow and takes off his now sweaty shirt. He works his way over to George, "hey buddy, how about you let the sad man go, and you can tell me what you found out"
((Unfortunately, I'd say if you were trying to see if she was lying it would be insight, but trying to convince her to open herself up is definitely Persuasion.))
Madam Eva folds her hands once again and places them under her chin, "My role is a simple one. Strahd is a tyrant, I wish to displace him and free both him and the people of Barovia from the curse that binds us all. He's obsessed with finding a bride. It just might be what ails the young Kolyana girl. Know this, death walker, your enemy is the lord of this land. The beasts of the field and the bats of the air are his children. They are ever watchful. Be mindful..."

Samudra takes out a spell book, very careful not to spook the raven, and casts 'Speak with Animals'
After the ten minutes of casting, and slight maneuvering to follow the raven, the spell takes hold. You feel the natural magic seep from the earth into your being. You hear a gruff voice below out from the raven, "EY LADY! QUIT FOLLOWIN' ME!"
((Also, two things. 1. What spells do you have prepared for today? And 2. I couldn't find your cantrips anywhere, do you have them listed?))
He finishes with a bow and takes off his now sweaty shirt. He works his way over to George, "hey buddy, how about you let the sad man go, and you can tell me what you found out"
"Dusk elf Kasimir Velikov. No ears."

This post has potentially manipulated dice roll results.
Adanmar is not accustomed to loose himself in gulping or guzzling, even in an appropriate situation. The unpleasant feeling inside this Vistani Camp on the contrary, tickles his senses to not let him caught unguarded.
He prefers to get along with the dwarf that seems to have the same spirit. He assists the card game, just to have something to do, and smile and the drunken man faith when he decide to take Grim's dare.
Adanmar pays attention to the fortune teller prophecy, and stands inside the tent with Davmorn after her speech to know her better.
"If undead walks on this land, we will put them back in the place where they deserve to be, there is no doubt.we have our sources....on another hand, Madame Eva, for me you just saying that this Lord is a Tyrant and you know usually, who want to depose aTyrant?....Just another one....so, are you baiting us on your dirty work? You are not powerful enough alone to take over Strahd? If this is the case, maybe you have to pay us "
((Insight check: 19, indeed, this not a real request of reward but just to test Eva's real intention in case))
(( and sorry for being late but, surely I am on a completely different time zone since))
Bry listens to each of the men in turn and when they are finishes he takes another long drink from the wine that is being passed around and hands it to the next person in the circle, "So, she's a witch eh?" Bry turns his head to look back towards her tent, "Have any of you ever heard or seen one of her fortune telling sessions, come true?"
Elwarith wants to look around and um 'acquire' perhaps some local garbs so he looks more like a Vistani, if they can freely travel about, perhaps he can use that to his advantage in the future.
He finishes with a bow and takes off his now sweaty shirt. He works his way over to George, "hey buddy, how about you let the sad man go, and you can tell me what you found out"
"Dusk elf Kasimir Velikov. No ears."
" Ok buddy, how about we go find him" he says to the half orc

Samudra walks to the trees and makes a few noises to the ravens (animal handling check 16 )

Samudra's coos and various caws draw the raven to her. It stands on a fence post and tilts its head from side to side and ruffles its feathers a bit.
