"Race? He looks to be a man, but all manor of tales say he can take the shape of a bat or a hulking monster, even the fog that hugs the ground." She starts to cry again, this time softer, reaching out to Tingting for comfort. "I don't know anything about a contract, but I'll do anything to get my little girl back. Please. Please..."
"He's a vampire, likely the one who welcomed us to this fogbound land of Barovia. As it stands, this Strahd is beyond us." Rell says. "To challenge a vampire as we are now would be nothing short of Suicidal. We need information, weaponry, strength, and allies before we can confront him. But make no mistake, we shall confront him. I give you my word as a Paladin."

Tingting nods and says: "I hope you're right and it's the one who welcomed us. Otherwise there would be several of these monsters out and about. We should talk to the burgomaster, he mentioned a vampire in his letter, after all."
"I don't know anything about contracts, but if you show me what I need to do..." Mary chokes a sob out. "I'll do anything it takes to get my little girl back. Please." She looks from Tingting to Finch to Anchor, waiting for someone to present her the information she needs.
"We don't require a contract from you, don't worry. I'm sure the burgomaster has the authority to give us any permission we would need." Tingting will then address the others and turns to leave. "Come on, it's time we get to meet the burgomaster."
Rell does his best to assure the woman that they will find her daughter. "I swore on my honor as a paladin that we would find your daughter. A vow like that is not made frivolously. We will see your child found, and Strahd vanquished. It may take time, but it will be done."

You each step back outside the dank home onto the hard cobblestone street. You stand to the south of the center of the small town, an inn looms over the town square, dark and old. There's a thin line of smoke floating from the chimney, and a few windows on the bottom floor of the establishment are shining with a dim light. The fog has mostly rolled out from the streets, giving you a good view up and down the road you currently stand.
As you approach the inn, shafts of light thrusts illumination into the main square, their brightness looking like solid pillars in the darkness. Above the gaping doorway, a sign hangs precariously askew, proclaiming this to be the Blood on the Vine tavern. You can smell a fire burning in the hearth, but the door is closed. There's an eerie lack of noise coming from the tavern. Atop the sign, a single crow perches. It cocks its head as you approach, and caws one single, loud "CAWWW", before unfolding it's wings and taking flight.
"We shall do all within our power..."

"Who is this Strahd guy? What race is he? Anyway a kidnapper shall not roam free, shall we hunt him, friends?"

"Good Idea. I assume 'burgomaster' is a position similar to Mayor or Alderman. He could likely tell us more."
