2 days till what? were we on some sort of schedule?

Yes, if you recall, when you met Viorela, she informed you all that Rictavio requested your assistance in the revolt. She told you that you had a week before it happened, which gave you enough time to take care of some business 

((Do we want to try to find the third gem in these 2 days?, btw sorry for the silence I was on holidays))

Adanmar Windblood

"My good Davian, any news from Krezk city?"

((If you recall, no one actually knows the location of the third. It was stolen away under the cover of night))

Davian looks at you curiously, “What kind of news were you expecting, my friend?”

Adanmar Windblood

"Well, nothing particular, I was just worried about the weird Abbot there, but...no news good news? Isn't it? I hope so"

(OOC - can this revolt be used as cover for us to get in to the castle? if not I suppose we should just meet up with Rictavio either way)

That will likely be the case. No better time to sneak in than when dealing with an angry mob.

 Davian nods, “Yes, it is as you say, especially here in Barovia. However, we Keepers of the Feather shall keep an ear to the ground for you, so to speak. If we hear of any information, we will let you know.”

Let's do it

((Up, I am in to wait for the angry mob and sneak through))

Perfect. So, the MistBusters shall set off once more on their journey. The nights that follow are plagued with preparations as Rictavio prepares you for what you will encounter. The stage is set! The actors are in their positions! The ringing cries of a fiery mob signals for the rising of the curtain on this final act!

Above ground, war rages as the mob rails on the cast iron gates of the castle, providing you all with the perfect opportunity for your infiltration. So now, here you are, beneath the castle in the heart of its waterlogged catacombs.

Adanmar Windblood

"Alright, we are about to close this business, whatever it could imply for our destiny, so, how many of us could fly over? Once inside, we should find those last artifacts and then ******* blow out the sucker"

In the meanwhile, the Revenant peeks the surrounding for an unnoticed entry ((Perception 11, Does Adanmar sense Strahd inside?))

Adanmar can clearly sense the vile presence of Strahd at the peak of the castle. Meanwhile, he does make out the entrance to the catacombs proper along the wall.

Adanmar Windblood

"Uh, or maybe, we could take a path underneath" The Revenant points to the entrance of the Catacombs "Perhaps we could sneak through it and inside the Castle, better than fly over and became an easy target even with all this commotion isn't it? Follow me"

Adanmar makes his lightfoot ((Stealth: 19)) way to the Catacombs to check if the entrance is locked...

Elwarith will follow Adanmar towards the catacomb entrance also quietly

[Stealth: 25]

(OOC - I AM Adanmar's shadow hehe)

((So, the entrance is locked?))

((Apologies! Thought I posted))

Yes, the entrance is locked, from what you can tell, it may be barred on the other side.

So no amount of lock picking will get us through here then?

is it a solid door or just like a bared gate - can we just reach through and try to unlatch it?

So, to clear up the confusion. The war is going on above you. You all meanwhile are beneath the castle, and have found a secret entrance into the catacombs. The door is a wooden door that has been barred from the other side. It could easily be smashed by someone with enough strength. 

All Sky Voice have to do is ask.  George smash door.
