MistBusters - A Curse of Strahd PbP

Elwarith will take the downtime after resting to set up a target and test his new bow out.

Very well, lemme just see something (1), the bow takes some getting used to, but holds strong.  Additionally, Adanmar has actually elected to go to the temple upon further consideration. Therefore, it seems to be a unanimous vote considering Elwarith would just go with whatever.

(( yeah I'm good with whatever ))

With your new weapons ready for whatever Strahd can throw at you, you prepare to set off for the Amber Temple. Davian thanks you all once more and tells you that they will keep eyes on you wherever you go.  

So from the Winery, (Area W) you travel back up the Old Slavic Road. Upon reaching the crossroads, you travel down along the mountain road of Tsolenka Pass.  

You enter the path at the Eastern gate and travel along the road. You see numerous statues and, as you travel further, you see a black-robed figure on a charcoal-like horse. It raises its hand to you as if to say, “Stop.”

Bry stops and looks around and then calls out,   "Hail rider!" 

Elwarith will keep an arrow nocked but will keep it pointed at the ground for now.....

Words, like actions can be costly, and he'll let the others of his party pay their share first...

Bry shifts his eyes to one side, then to the other, "...I didn't do that" he said having watched the guy turn to ash.

Elwarith looks at Bry and shrugs

George think fire illusion.  George charge fire. 

George charge fire. George rip through curtain of fire and appear on the other side. George take 28 fire damage. The fire curtain remains. George can no longer be seen. Additionally, cracking is coming from the top of the gate as the statues break free of their stone pedestals and come to life. 

“Redurti! Redurti! Evomer rieth sdaeh!” They screech.

"Fire real!" 

(OOC - am I to assume this is some sort of canyon we're traveling down and these Towers/Wall of fire block our passage - no way around - do we see anyone manning the tower?)

"I hope someone on the other side has a bucket of water to put him out with....."

"Also.....that's not good....." and he'll point towards the stone demons and draw an arrow in his fancy new bow and draw a bead on one.

You taking a shot?

((Before decide I have to understand a couple of things...the awakened statue is on our side of the fire curtain or beyond? where George is now...second, is there a way to pass on the other side without passing through it? Climbing aside etc....or...maybe some magic users can dispell it?))

(( well technically just about everything in Barovia has tried to kill us so far - but are these stone demons seem to be acting in a threatening way - or moving towards us (or over the wall the other way if George is still alive)))

(( also for my own sake, does my new bow count as magical attacks now? ))
