JudyMacs Curse of Strahd

Alerya

She bows in understanding "We will leave in peace and will return with some way to revive your loved one." then leaves.

Alerya considers, that is a tough choice. So far as she can tell such magic is beyond her power and that of her friends. Perhaps tackling an easier task will provide some enlightenment. She shrugs, "Maybe we should help the farmers find their grapes or we can find the lost child before heading to this amber temple. Surely grapes and wine would be more fun than creepy ghosts right now."

OOC: Did we get an update on the child search? If we did, my apologies, I forgot.

Illmirth 

Illmirth paused a moment, this team, formidable as they may be, didn't have the power to bring back the dead.  They didn't have the power from their own well of magical strength, but they did possess the means to do so.

Illmirth glanced at Lorelei, then to the body of Kasimir's beloved Ravenel.  "The value of this power is beyond measure," he says.  "Are not life and love equally valuable?  Besides, does not another wait to be retrieved at the Amber Temple?"  Illmirth placed his hand upon Lorelei's shoulder, offering her a friendly smile.  In a hushed voice, ment only for her he whispered, "I will back your decision, for you alone among us can summon the magic of the scroll.  For my part, it seems a fair trade for the Holy Symbol of Ravenkind."

OOC: I think there is some kind of penalty for casting a spell too high for your level no?

Crisaryn Melkial

"Your sister is a Vampyr?" she asks, surprised at the news. "No wonder you have bad dreams about her! Do you suppose there's really a way to save her?"  She feels skeptical about the idea but tries not to let it show. "It certainly seems these Knights of the Amber Temple might have knowledge. We can ask on your behalf. Do you know anything about this lord that you say leads them?  Where is this temple?"  She tries to recall if it was on their map. 

Lorelei Dawnwarden

The young blonde priestess nods and reads the scroll of ressurection over Ranelle.

(OOC We agreed that scrolls work for the class and may be cast by reading them as it just releases the spell that has been already  cast on it)

Lorelei breaks the scrolls  wax seal open then standing over Rannelle she speaks the words in front of her. Rannelles colour  flushes red and you hear a raspy breath, a blue nimbus flows around her then fades into her body. Her eyes flash open and she winces at the bright light. She begins to panic about being in a coffin.

Kasimir rushes to her side and pulls the lid open.

DM

Opening a map Crisaryn notices a mention of the Amber Temple in the south of Barovia in the mountains.

Illmirth 

"Be at peace, Ranelle, you are returned to your beloved."

Illmirth gives the couple a few moments to process the shock and enormity of the situation.  Lorelei had just read the words of a scroll so powerful that it reshaped the natural flow of life and death.  He could still feel the shockwaves of magical energy as it was releases from the scroll.

After a few minutes, Illmirth cleared his throat.  "We should take leave and allow you to reunite  properly.  May we have the Holy Symbol, and we shall leave you to your private reunion?"

Crisaryn Melkial

Crisaryn gives Lorelei a very slight smile as she casts the spell to restore life to Ranelle. To Kasimir she says, "Yes, we should leave you. We would be grateful for the amulet, and I'm sure we would try to put it to good use. And when we make it to visit the Knights we will inquire about ways to help your sister." 

Alerya

Her eyes open wide when the scroll was read and the dead were brought back to life. Amazing! She could not have imagined such a thing. 

Well she guesses that going to the temple is a lesser priority. now. Then again, going there to get fantastic magic to raise the dead has value. Either way she is ready to get going. As she mounts up she shakes her head and smiles. Wow! 

DM

Kasimir

Here take it, I hope you can use it well! When you decide to visit the Amber Temple let me come with you I can plea my case to the Master there. He hands the amulet to Lorelei. Only a cleric or paladin can use the thing properly. 

Lorelei Dawnwarden

The young blonde priestess accepts the amulet with a grateful smile and a small bow.

Illmirth 

The bard nods in respectful silence before saying softly,  "Thank you.  We will return to you before we search for the temple."

Illmirth 

If the party has no further business with Kasimir,  Illmirth excuses himself and exits the building.  His eyes immediately look to the sky for Fredrik.  With a little luck the clever raven may have a lead for them to help locate the missing child.

Crisaryn Melkial

As the group departs, Crisaryn has a satisfied look on her face. "Well, we have one of our tasks completed. Two more to go."  She pauses, "Do we stay here for the evening or go back to Vallaki? Then we will have to determine where we go next." 

Illmirth 

Illmirth looked torn.  "There is little that I enjoy more than playing with the talented musicians among the Vistani, but I told the Burgomeister that I would participate in his celebration.  I think we should get to Vallaki before dark unless we get a solid lead on the misssing girl."

***OoC: how much time do we have until dark?***

DM

Frederik

The raven flew down from a tree outside of Kasimirs house, and sat on Illmirths shoulder. No girl, can't find. Last trail found in the woods. She disappeared.

(OOC it is currently 2 bells in the afternoon. You have plenty of time to return to Vallaki, the festival is tomorrow.)

Illmirth

Illmirth greets the  guards with a graceful bow.  "Your duty is complete, for there is no body to claim.  Ranelle again draws breath," he explains them.

"Frederik can't keep on the girls trail, but he can show us a starting point.  Shall we have a quick look while the sun is still high in the sky?"  he says to the companions when they exit the now happy home.  

Crisaryn Melkial

"Yes, we ought to see if perhaps as a group we can glean something that the raven cannot," Crisaryn says. "Maybe even pick up the trail if we're lucky."

Lorelei Dawnwarden

The young blonde priestess nods in agreement with Crisaryn. "Yes, we should try to find the girl. As long as there is a trail to follow I will do so." She says with grim determination, then taking a closer look at the amulet around her neck.
