**I was sort of keeping them separate just to let you guys do your questioning. But if you want them down there for rp purposes, we can say they followed you down.
The creature moves towards you into the candle light but stops a fair distance away. He hisses at you, baring his long sharp fangs.
Several minutes later, Vaalu's tirade comes to an end. Although, she did an extra bit of time just staring back at the cathedral, glaring at it as if it was her worsest enemy. Vaalu huffs one last time before marching her way over to Brom's side. She doesn't say anything at first, choosing instead to just to either stand nearby, arms crossed, and expression still set on deep-seated annoyance.
"Brom. You need -- /I/ need you to go in there and talk some sense into the others. That so called priest in there too. Because there heads must be addled to think they can 'cure' that monster lurking beneath here. And if I step in there again, it is only to do what needs be done." She states, giving Brom a solid look. "I'll keep watch here."

Brom braces himself as Vaalu marches towards Brom. Then he relaxes when she stops and seems to begin standing guard. Brom is full of questions after hearing Vaalu say there was a monster under the church "Monster?! They caught one of the creatures? How did they catch it? Does it talk?" Brom stops talking after seeing Vaalu's intense look "I will go see what they are doing in there." Brom makes his way into the cathedral. He sees the group go into a room. He follows. "Guess they went down there." Brom descends into the hole. Brom walks up behind the group trying to see around them. Brom is completely unaware of the situation because he was not in the church when the priest told the group about his son and the curse. Brom finally see's what the group is looking at. "WHAT IN ODIN'S BEARD IS THAT? Vaalu was right! You do have a monster under the church! " Brom unsheathes his longsword. "Why is it chained up and not dead?"

Andres stayed upstairs but can hear/see the new commotion from Brom, he spectral mage hand appears in front of Brom and starts waving an index finger as a warning to stay quiet for the time being. (Hopefully you saw the habdbbefore and recognize it’s me)

"I repeat my last question Doru. What did you see in Castle Ravenloft? If you tell me, I may see to ending your suffering." Alexander harbors no intention of giving this fiend any blood just the sweet release of death. Hopefully though, he might fool him into telling him everything he needs to know.

Brom is startled out of his surprise and anger when Andres' spectral hand appears before him. "Bah" Brom waves off the spectral hand and backs up beside Faron "This is what Vaalu was all in a huff about. She wants to end this foul creature. I see you share in that opinion" Brom looks down at Faron's notched arrow. "As do I"

"Please..Father hasn't fed me in weeks. I'm starving to death. I should never have followed that man into Strahd's castle. He promised me that he knew a way to defeat him, but I watched Strahd drain the life out of him.
When Nylin hears the that he drained the life from a man, he pulls out he crystal to cast light on it to see clearer into the room.
"You haven't been fed in weeks! Has anyone got any food for the man? How are you still alive if you have not eaten... is this the curse we were told had been beset on you?"
Nylin scans round the group trying to see if anyone will offer Doru any food.
"Nylin, I fear it's not ordinary food he craves. Where it not for his fathers sake, I would have put an end to this creature already. He's no longer human and I fear beyond mortal salvation." Turning towards Doru. "Can you tell us anything on Strahd or why and how this stranger intended to best him. Open up, so that your sacrifices haven't been in vain."
Doru lowers his head, he says in a whisper he says "Strahd is a disease, infecting this land for longer then anyone can remember. The mage came here not more then a year ago. He saw how troubled all Barovians are, even though no one speaks of it. He was very powerful, I saw him perform incredible acts. He told us that he would save us from Strahd. The mage, myself, and a few others attempted to storm Ravenloft. But it was a.." he pauses for a moment, "a blood bath."
"What happened to the mage that led you to the castle? What was his name?" Brom asks from behind the group since he thought Nylin was asking for volunteers to feed Doru. Brom is hoping the mage's name is familiar to them. He doesn't know magic but he knows that a mage would not come here without a way back. "Faron, the mage may have a scroll or item that will get us back home. If we find the mage or at least his pack, we might get lucky."
Andres begins to shift uncomfortably thinking to himself if death isn’t that the worst that can happen maybe it is best to end this poor soul. He walks out the front door to help keep watch. But also not have to be around for the answers or aftermath.

Brom tries to recall anything about a mage named Mordenkainen (History check 1) "I'm trying to remember if ever heard that name before. Have any of you?"

Brom you see a spectral skeleton hand appear in front of you and wag it's finger at you.
**Also side note: Doru was locked down here but he is not chained up.**
**Did Faron and Nylon go down or stay up?**
OOC: Faron went down after returning from Brom, he stays in the background with an arrow at the ready but his bow pointing downward.

Nylin came down with the group, writing in his journal about anything interesting that happens.

"His name.. his name was Mordenkainen. As far as I know Strahd got him, he'd either dead, or worse.'
”Ohh dear... Ohh dear indeed” Nylin has a confused scowl on his face as he scratches the bald patch.
”How did the mage get in contact with you to recruit you?” Nylin looks over to Doru again with sympathy.
