'Hm, he might just leave if we take long enough in the bookstore. If not, Chipper can probably confuse him with an illusion while we sneak off. Wish I could talk to more people at once with this.'

Turning her attention back to Rahadin. "Are you planning to head back to the castle after you drop us off? I imagine Strahd will want everyone possible to help in the search."

"Understandable. Are there any other enemies we should be on the lookout for as we guard Ireena? Rebels who oppose Strahd perhaps?"Kessintra not so subtly corrects Rahadin on Ireena's name, wanting the girl to know that they regard her as her own person even if Strahd and company don't.

Yeah, it's been an hour and you haven't done anything strenuous.
The wagon 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. Rahadin turns right.
"Left from where we came: Krezk and Tsolenka Pass. We're heading towards 'Lake Baratok' apparently." Kessintra reports to the others, turning her attention to Ireena and Ismirk. "Do you two know anything about these places?"
Ismirk responds, "Krezk is a walled city. It's very.... cut off. They don't export anything and the only import they get is wine. Tsolenka Pass.... I believe that one goes through the southern mountains. I don't know much about Lake Baratok."

I exist sometimes, especially when I'm DMing Curse of Strahd.
Kess casts message at Garrick and Chipper in turn.
'A lake. It could be where the mage tower or den of wolves Eva mentioned are...Also, speaking of water, I thought of something. Vampires are hurt by running water, so the safest place for Ireena would be far beneath a barrier of it if we could figure out how to do that. Even if he charmed her somehow, he couldn't mist his way through. Remember that place, Berez? Strahd said it's under a river now. Ah, it sounds crazy now that I say it...'
“Very well, let’s go collect these adventurers before they run into anything particularly nasty out here.”
While we travel I ritual cast detect magic to see if anything magical is on Rahadin’s person.
Once Garrick's ritual is done, Kess will cast message on him.
'See anything? He seems pretty distracted right now so I might be able to pickpocket him.'

There is nothing magical.

Message: “Doesn’t seem like it. We need to figure out a way to ditch him once we get to Villaki”

"In Villaki? There shouldn't be. Not since the uprising." Rahadin sits there a moment, weighing his next words.
"And.... I'm sorry. About the name. It's just hard to adjust every time, especially when they all look and sound the same."
Ireena scoots over to you and whispers, "Thank you."

Kessintra tries to examine the dilapidated branches of the sign more closely for names of locations as they pass.

This is a signature. It was a simple signature. But it has been upgraded.

You're able to read the two sides facing you. The one on the left says, "Krezk and Tsolenka Pass," and the right says, "Lake Baratok."

"Are we concerned she may turn into a vampire herself now that she has been bitten?”
'Strahd didn't seem worried about it. He had bitten her twice before without turning her, so maybe the bite has to be fatal to do that?'
