((do we heard about the Baron's invite?))

Bry approaches Milijov, "Nice plant you have there...it doesn't sing does it?" Bry immediately realizes how weird his question sounds and cocks an eyebrow, "No, never mind that. Well met, I am Bry and we are the Mistbusters. Do you have a moment to chat?"

((*Milijov, not Lucien haha))

Milijov looks at you for a moment, and as he does you realize you’ve seen this type of creature before... Bry has no doubts that this will be the single hardest battle he has ever faced... A Teenager. Milijov stands up to about two inches over Bry and frowns, “Not really, but I get the feeling,” He looks Bry up and down, “That you won’t really take that for an answer. What do you want?” 

((OOC: Shhh you saw nothing....haha))

"Milijov, Milijov, Milijov, of course you have a choice, after all we are all friends here" magic leaps from Bry's tongue as he attempts to enchant the boy with his words (Charm Person, which I can do once per day because of my ancestry. DC is 15 to resist)

((Well let’s see how Milijov is feeling now: 14))

“...Friend...?” Milijov blinks before his eyes take on a more lively look, “Oh! Hello. I’m sorry, that was rude of me. How is that any way to treat a friend! What do you need, friend?” The man says as he sets down his shovel to the side.

"Don't think anything thing of it Milijov, just tell us about the bones that were stolen from the church."

Persuasion: 27

Milijov smiles and nods, “Oh yeah! I trust you implicitly! See, Yeska told me about the bones. Then I mentioned them in passing to Henrik van der Vort, you know him right? Kinda creepy, makes coffins. Anyway, he said he’d pay me if I took the bones and gave them to him. I needed the money for my family so I took the job. I don’t really know why he wanted them though. Like I said, creepy. I can tell you where his shop is if you want.” He points and gives you directions, which Viorela confirms. “Need anything else?”

Elwarith appears out of the shadows creepily close to Milijov and whispers in his ear "That'll do pig....that'll do......" and puts his knife away as he walks past him.

"Milijov, you've been quite helpful, make sure you get that plant into the dirt it looks...hungry" Bry gives Milijov a pat on the shoulder and then walks after Elwarith. 

And Milijov sees nothing wrong with either of these statements because he is under a charm spell. So. What is the party's plan. Are you going to the coffin shop? Or are you making preparations for the meeting? Or secret door number three that the DM doesn’t know about? {45 Minutes Still Remain}

((Is Bry going to actually tell the rest of the party about the meeting?  Are you just going to go in alone?  With time I can work up a disguise I'm sure that might get me in as another random guard or something so at least you're not alone if it goes south with Ol Creepy Arm.))

Bry looks to the party after they have walked away from Milijov. "The Baron's pet, the one with the All Seeing Arm, has asked me to meet him at the Barons house in a short while. He's asked that I come alone. Which of course sounds like a terrible idea to me."

"For sure it is,  he is an ******* and without the protection of the most brilliant weapon of the Mistbusters...here I am...its even worst... you can go but we have to keep an eye on the situation, Samudra maybe can come with you? We need a way to communicate if troubles will show up..."

"The baron asked you to come alone? That is not wise... but it is also unwise to ignore the baron," Viorela face faulted and gestured in general to the heads on pikes along the edges of town. "Lest you want to end up like one of these unhappy folks. Remember to smile..." Viorela resisted rolling her eyes with every fiber of her being.

"Wait....what?" Grim responds to Viorela's statements about the pikes, "Those aren't evil criminals?"

((Actually, the heads on pikes are wolves. Donkey people are in stocks))

So, as the MistBusters walk along and talk along the roads of Vallaki, it is not long before they reach the store of Henrik van der Vort, coffin maker of Vallaki. This uninviting shop is two stories tall and has a sign shaped like a coffin above the front door. All of the win­dow shutters are closed up tight, and a deathly silence surrounds the establishment.

Adanmar will scout around the shop for possible entries and life signs
