"That sounds like a plan. Keldon and I can search around the outside of town while the rest of you speak with the burgomaster?" Baudric looks around to see if everyone agrees, if they do, he turns to Keldon, "Any idea where to start?"
Baudric shrugs, "Either wolves or not wolves that people think could have been wolves that killed a local who probably knew enough to avoid wolves and not go too far out of town?"
You leave for the Burgomaster's mansion and arrive at the front door. This mansion has walls of plastered stone that display many scars where the plaster has fallen away from age and neglect. Drapes cover every window, including a large, arched opening above the mansion’s double entrance doors. You notice a pair of guards leave the mansion and tip their helmets to you. A maid stands at the front door and she asks "Can I help you?"
Keldon and Baudric
You leave for the edge of the forest. Tell me what you're looking for and give me Perception checks.
Amelia.
Are you going with one of the two parties or are you going to do your own thing?

Baudric draws upon his god's power to help him look for any signs of something moving through the woods, broken branches, bits of cloth or fur, blood trails, anything.
WIth the 15 you find different sets of tracks and they seem to belong to wolves but they don't seem to be going near the town. Keldon, you do hear some noise, specifically footsteps coming from your right.

The maid nods and motions you to follow her. "Right this way," she says. You follow her to the den and she steps away. "I'll fetch the burgomaster for you."

Bral follows the maid in silence and looks around at the mansion as he does so. Then whilst waiting for the burgomaster master to arrive, he looks around the den to see if he can spot anything out of the ordinary.

Bral nods his head, "Yes, we're new to town. We're from a small village not too far away though. We have only been in Valkali for a couple of days when we heard about the upcoming festival, the Festival of the Blazing Sun, I believe it is called. We were wondering if you would need any more help in preparing for the festival."

The Mansion
The Baron raises an eyebrow.
Insight Check - 14
The Baron smiles. "Ah, the festival. Yes, it's one of my finest yet. What village are you from? It doesn't matter. These festivals are a labor of love and an effective way to keep away Strahd. As to how you can help the festival, I'm not sure."
The Baroness snaps her fingers. "I know my love. We can have them hand out fliers and stand in the town square advertising the festival."
She leaves the room to get the fliers. The Baron smiles again. "She's a peach."
"That sounds like a plan. Keldon and I can search around the outside of town while the rest of you speak with the burgomaster?" Baudric looks around to see if everyone agrees, if they do, he turns to Keldon, "Any idea where to start?"
Keldon shrugs. "I'm not even sure what we're looking for."

Keldon nods and says "Nearest edge of town and go for a walk then?"

Robin nods to Bral. "Makes sense to me." She says. "Let's go and pay him a visit then."

Keldon is looking for tracks. Any kind, really.

"Good day." Robin greets the servant. "We would like to speak with the Burgomaster's if you please."

Robin stays standing, placing a hand on Buddy's head as they wait.
Keldon runs right to tackle whatever or whoever is walking to the right of him!

Burgomaster's Mansion
Bral, this appears like a normal den.
You wait for a few moments and you see a couple enter the room with their dogs.
The man on the right eyes all of you. "Welcome to my home, I'm Baron Vargas Vallkovich. I've never seen you in Valkali before."

Keldon make an Acrobatics check to see if you tackle this stranger.

As soon as he sees Keldon take off, Baudric moves to follow, staying a few paces behind to be safe.
Bral nods his head, "Yes, we're new to town. We're from a small village not too far away though. We have only been in Valkali for a couple of days when we heard about the upcoming festival, the Festival of the Blazing Sun, I believe it is called.
