Bry closed his eyes and allowed the song to sink into his soul, once Vi had finished he kept his eyes closed for a few more moments then opened them slowly. "Well, what do we need to kill and Angel?"

"More people......" and Elwarith will chuckle....still not convinced its worth risking his life over.

(OOC - if the rest of the party agrees to this course then I'll follow - its safer together as a group - but in character I see it as a needless risk when he's shown no threat to us - or no one is paying us to kill him (Elwarith is a paid assassin after all))

Adanmar WIndblood

The Revenant eyes the little show set up by Viorela but more importantly, Bry's sneer, who seems to be interested in the Paladin's proposal at the end.

"I am with the Accurate mates, for now, this winged idiot doesn't seem to be not much more than an...idiot, but luckily or not, being stupid it's not a capital punishment yet...although...we could investigate more here and if we find something...well...it is not too late for a sword job"

(What does Vio know about angels? I guess its a religion roll? 2 Her Religion isn't very good, so... gg to me)

You don’t know much... but from what you remember, if an angel and a dragon were to duke it out, it could go either way really. They fight demons and devils on the regular, so combative prowess would be absolutely necessary.

Viorela thinks long and hard on how to defeat an angel, but has difficulty coming up with anything at all. She understands it would be too deadly for her, or even just her and Bry to attempt on their own. She had few reasons to offer for attacking said angel outside of what she has already said. Yet, they are unmoved by such righteous things, and that is all she has to offer.

"Perhaps I will table this issue for another day, find more suitable allies for the task. We will need as many as we can get to defeat the vampire. No use in me running off to die to a powerful fool." Viorela sounds incredibly disappointed, and her opinion of the group as a whole is a bit diminished, yet her master still needed this group yet to defeat the dreadlord.

Adanmar Windblood

"I don't think you are completely out of the target with the Abbot, Viorela, even to me, he doesn't seem to be all in the right of the Morninglord...mmm...I don't know maybe, that's my suggestion but we could ask the Bourgmaster to keep an eye on him, or, just pay attention if something strange or bad is coming from the Abbey,  from him, and endangers the town or the villagers, we know the Wereraven that runs the Vineyard, if he has contact with them, they could contact us later and we will come here as fast as we can...what do you think?"

"Maybe, in the meanwhile, we could try to find this Strahd's supporter, wasn't a kind of witch? Where is she, does anyone remember? Maybe before cutting the tree, we should take care of all the rotten chunks..."

Bry has an unsettling sense of exactly who he could ask about that... Alternatively, the Keepers of the Feather may also know something.

"Thank you, Adanmar, I feel that is quite agreeable. I only worry about the amount of allies this fiend seems to have. Even an angel..."

"Even a tamed rat, when stuck in a maze, will eventually chew its own leg off...." in reference to the Abbot

and Elwarith shrugs

"I think we need to continue seeking allies against Strahd, however witches are not generally to be trusted either in my opinion...."

“Ay, lad, though I think Adanmar was more of a mind to take the witch outta the picture, more so than make nice.”

(OOC - oops my bad - I misread Strahd supporter - hehe - thought we were still hunting for other allies)

((No worries, haha. Easy to miss.))

(Just to move things along, would I know about this witch or heard rumors? Here is my horrible history roll if you need it: 14)

There are... like a lot of witches in Barovia. However, Strahd doesn’t really like any of them and is more ambivalent to their existence more than anything. However, you do remember a certain someone talking about a particularly strong and loyal witch, Baba Lysaga. You only know the name and her reputation, while the specifics are hazy. 

 "Perhaps the Wereravens know where this witch can be found?"

"I may know the identity of this troublesome witch," Viorela looks between each member of the party. She stands nearer to them and nearly whispers, "Baba Lysaga. Perhaps these wereravens you speak of will know where we can find her."

Very well. You all set out from the village of Krezk and once more travel to the home of the Wizards of Wine winery. As you travel, it’s strange, but it almost seems... normal. There are no ominous bats flying over head, no wolves traveling alongside you, and not even any thick fog. However, there is a wind, not strong, but constant nonetheless. It seems to pull the mists with it. In fact, in contrast to the normal dead air of Barovia, it’s down right strange. However, despite this, you make your way to the Martikovs. It’s late in the night, so it makes sense that there’s no one to greet you. However, perhaps knocking might change that.

Bry walks up to the door and taps lightly three times, "Yoohoo, the Mistbusters have come calling"

A moment or two goes by before you here the creaking of wood, the door opens slightly, locked by chain, “What on earth could people want at this late an hour.” Davian peers through the cracked opening, “What do yo- Oh! Bry, it is good to see you.” He unlocks the chain and shuffles you inside and locks the door once more, “What an unexpected surprise. Please, sit for a moment.” Davian shuffles up the stairs and leaves you in silence for a short time. In the meantime, it seems that the Martikovs have been quick at work with restoring what was damaged by the invaders. They seem to be up and running once more, and likely owe the success of their return to the groups cleansing of the wine vats. However, you do still see some Tiefling-footprint-shaped burn marks in the stairwell.
