Roselina woke up that morning, getting dressed and unpinning her hair, brushing it smooth and doing her makeup. She gets her things and exits out of the room, going downstairs and seeing everyone as they ate before leaving. She noticed the church and how the doors were open, wondering if anyone is inside. She would follow behind Ebur in case someone is in there and notices him, needing to come up with an excuse for them looking inside the church.
(OOC: The ravens are on the roof of the tavern, so you would probably have to climb up there to speak with them... (though they don't seem to act like normal ravens as you observe them), with people looking on - if you wish to do that let me know.)
Looking into the church cautiously, there is a priest and a young man within the church, and a brawny lad with a perpetually forrowed brow tending the grounds and the graveyard nearby. None of them seem to take immediate notice of you, though the priest doesn't look like to have seen you at this point.
(I'll wait until we return to town and do it then, so we don't split the narrative)
Ebur walks directly into the centre of the church, looking up and admiring the fact that this building at least doesn't have a low ceiling and admits some dappled light through the stained-glass windows, reminding him of being under a sheltered canopy of trees.

In the morning, after breaking the fast and discussing plans for the day, Vrak retrieves his horse from the stables and joins the others out front to visit the Vistani outside of town. He'll lead the horse and remain on foot as the make their way through town.
As they reach the church he stops with the others. As Ebur approaches the church Vrak ground ties his horse and follows behind him.
Having a look, it's more middle age than emotional, but he silently gets on with taking care of the garden and graveyards, replacing flowers where needed, and trimming the grass around various gravestones.
Roselina saw the priest and young man instead, the brawny lad tending to the grounds and graveyard nearby. She was about to knock on the door, only to watch Ebur just walk right in to the center of the church, surprised and annoyed. So she follows behind, sighing and thinking of an excuse. "Hello, pardon the intrusion. My companion here is just admiring your lovely church. I promise that we won't be in here long." Roselina had then said to the priest as she smiled and was being friendly.
This post has potentially manipulated dice roll results.
Quilrith stood back near Vraks horse his hood pulled up watching the church and the grounds, admiring the strange beauty of the church in the stark contrast to it's surroundings the others enter the church He looks around and approches the church, quietly entering behind roselina and Ebur, he inspects the windows, and architecture of the church, looking for signs of how the church came to be.
Following the others into the church Vrak remains quiet and looks about to see who the church is dedicated to. He remains quiet though and if the church appears to be dedicated to a "good" god he will quietly drop to a knee and say a short prayer.
Ebur finishes looking around the vaulted ceiling, and notices Vrak quietly contemplating. He asks him: Do you honour the Morninglord? I know not to which of his saints this edifice is dedicated.
"Welcome to St. Andral's Church, dedicated to the Morninglord" the priest walks over as he hears the conversation. "I am Father Lucian Petrovich, priest of the church and for Vallaki, not an easy job, mind you - anywhere in this place," he says with a sad smile.
"The Morninglord? I do not serve the Morninglord, I serve Bahamut, the god of dragons. But I do honor those gods that are good, and if this place is dedicated to him, I will show honor to him in his place as is befitting his position."
Vrak turns to the priest,
"Greetings Father Lucian, I am Vrakvroth Esstyrlynn, knight of the Talons of Justice. This is indeed a difficult place to serve from what I have seen. Can we aid thee in anyway?"
Roselina had heard the priest, nodding back and then hearing Vrakvroth as well. "I am Roselina Pridebloom. Yes, can we help you out in any way Father Lucian?" she also said back to the priest, smiling. She didn't really care about religion all that much, only having to learn about them from her studies back home.
Not finding anything interesting at all, Quilrith hovers behind the rest of the party, listening to the conversation about Morning Lords and Dragon Gods with a wide eyed expession.
"There is something," Father Petrovich says sadly. "Until recently, the bones of St Andral, where the church gets it's name, were sealed in a crypt underneath the alter up there," he says pointing towards the main alter in the church as he does so. "A few nights ago, the bones were stolen. I was the only one that knew that the bones of one of the Morninglord's saints were there, but I did let the alter boy, Yeska, know about them over a month ago as he needed to put at ease a little, especially with Strahd's forces coming every night and attacking. I asked him if he told anyone else about the bones, and he only nodded - never telling me who," he said. "Those bones have been protecting this church from Strahd for decades, and now they are missing I am concerned I won't be able to provide sanctuary as I have done these past years without risk of attack," the Father finishes explaining. "Those bones have been more important to the safety of the people of Vallaki than they realise, and I fear this desecration could mean the end of us," he says sadly.
Ebur overhears the conversation, and without taking his eyes from the ceiling he calls out: Have you attempted to divine their location by any means? If not, perhaps Lady Roselina here might have more success with your altar boy - she can be ... persuasive.

Roselina had heard Lucian as he talked about the bones being destroyed and that he along with the altar boy, were the only ones who knew where they were. But the altar boy did tell someone else but won't say who as Lucian was now worried about being attacked since the bones providing sanctuary are gone. "That is deeply troubling and would certainly not be good for anymore. We'll find those bones for you then." Roselina had said back to him, smiling. Then she had heard Ebur, surprised as she looks back at him with suspicion. Was that supposed to be a compliment or something else? She'll take it as a compliment for now as she looks back at the priest. "Yes, I'm sure that I can convince Yeska to tell us who he told about the bones." she would say back before looking towards and walking over to the altar boy calmly. "Hello there. You must be Yeska, yes? I am Roselina Pridebloom, it's nice to meet you." Roselina would greet the boy with a friendly smile and demeanor as she curtsies.
((OOC: Techincally not an object, so Locate Object wouldn't work))
The alter boy, Yeska, looks up nervously toward Roselina as she approaches and gives a slight bow in response to the curtsy. He is obviously scared of something as the way he bows is sheepish.

Roselina had seen Yeska bow, seeing as he appeared to be scared. "You don't need to be scared. I had heard that you told someone else about the bones. Can you tell me who it was that you told about the bones? Those bones are very important to Father Lucian and the people of Vallaki, you know. So we need to find them soon and only you can help us out." she had said to the young boy calmly and gently with a smile, trying to get him to reveal who he talked to that stole the bones.
"I thought he already knew, I mean... he works here... I asked the gardener, Milijov, but he works here so I thought he knew," the boy says, bursting into tears.

He is carefull to stay out of the mist.
Sova follows behind and observes the young man with a furrowed brow. He wants to get a feel for the guys mood or a reason why he looks upset.
