Tahnis turns to Gadhan. "It's always good to respect personal space. However, I think we have more important matters. Do we want to discuss what we saw.?"

"Maaan, I saw some f∆(/3d up $#!+.  And some of it, should be talked about in..." And Gadhan gets right next to Tahnis' ear and thinks he is whispering, "MORE PRIVATE COMPANY."

"Kinda agree, with Gadhan, we should discuss this... privately. And preferably soberly." Gekks skittishly gathers his things

Tahnis moves a step to the other direction from Gadhan. "Agreeed. I was going to suggest we return to the Vistani, but we may want to wait to talk about our visions until after the party, or until we're out of the camp."

   As the conversations lulls, Shayne wanders off looking for Fammy.  That darn cat has a nose for mischief and Shayne wasn't against finding some himself.

   Shayne accepted a drink and another and another as he made his way amongst the festive Vistani.  He set down each drink a moment or two accepting it, barely partaking but always keeping up the image of the happy, drinking, singing bard.  Songs and instrument playing he did partake in to the enjoyment of himself and hopefully the others.  At one point he even took out his flute and made a first attempt at a new little tune he was composing in the back of his head...

   "Excuse the roughness, my friends.  I've had no time to polish this up but I remember everything better if it comes with a catchy tune..." Shayne warns the crowd before his performance.  The music is soft a rolling, the words sung during pauses and trying, but not quite keeping the rhythm of the notes.  Still, there is no knowing if the song is worth the fine tuning without hearing it a few times first...

Dark cards are turned, 

Fortunes are told, 

What will be learned,

By adventurers bold.

The first card is history

Revealing knowledge of a foe

A troubled town, a house of sad story

Room of darkness where listless spirits feel woe.

Next a card of protection

A promise of the good for which we hoped.

Deceiver arrives in a festive contraption,

Within and past the lies the truth can be groped.

Third turn is full of gusto, tails of vigor and brawn

A blade forged for the darkness of retribution,

Yet it is a beam of light through darkness promising dawn.

She who birth evil you must find as your contribution…

Assistance is the promise of card number four, 

Evil has a bride but it is her brother you need.

Easily overlooked, lesser is the title he always wore,

You must look inside for a spirit up to the deed.

The fifth and final will have the story told,

Victory or misery foretold for the town and all.

But perhaps we are supposed to let the future unfold…

You’re a slave to destiny if too closely you follow the seers call.

Gadhan would try to find Minerva, not asking by name but looking around. He would also be drinking along the way (how long for the high to wear off?)

Perception check 19 I'm assuming at disadvantage due to being HAF 18

Same roll nice, that -1 mod SUCKS!

Gekks ears twitch and Shaynes song draws his attention. After the tune is completed Gekks asks "You came up with that yourself Shayne? Thats mighty impressive if you ask me. Though it does only remind me of the confusion this path has begun to give me." Gekks slumps his chin into his hands as he says that last part, a small spark shoots off the tip of his ear

Tahnis nods. "Agreed. Shayne, that was really good. By the way, Madame Eva, do you have some of that herb in your pipe to go?"

      At your question regarding the relationship of the Vistani and Strahd, Madame Eva meets your eye Tahnis with a glint in her dark black iris,

    “No one is truly allied with Strahd, only those who were unfortunate enough to come under his service. Let me tell you a story of how my people found themselves brought under the attention of this dark prince of darkness. During one of Strahd’s military campaigns, years before he became a vampire, a group of Vistani rescued him after he was wounded in battle. These Vistani not only nursed Strahd back to health but also delivered him safely home. As a reward for their generosity, Strahd declared that all Vistani had the right to come and go from his land as they please, and this privilege extends to the present day. Thus, Vistani can travel freely through the fog that surrounds Barovia, without fear of harm or entrapment. So yes we do not feel the heel of his boot as harshly as most, but we are still victims hoping to help those in this land not lucky enough to have had generous ancestors. Though it’s interesting you bring up Stanimir, it’s been quite a long time since I’ve heard that name...”

    She almost absentmindedly trails off before looking you to all before she seems to watch for your expressions after telling her story, a close mouthed small smile on her face. After but a brief moment she continues and looks to you all once again, 

   “Feel free to enjoy the hospitality of my people! And you try to slow it down a bit big guy (looking at Gadhan), you’ll be feeling good for at least a couple more hours! (4-6 hour intense high) Ask more questions if you wish in the morning but I must retire, an old lady must rest some time!” Before you guys leave however, Tahnis asks her about some the herb in her pipe and if it can be taken to go. She gives a laugh and winks at the half elf before turning to a pack near her bedroll within the tent. She pulls a small sack from it and hands it the ranger with a smile saying,

   “Never say the Vistani do not treat our guests right! Here is enough for all of you to smoke it once together, or maybe  perhaps just for one person multiple times! Ha! Dealer’s choice! Now I really must be getting to bed! Also I would ever thankful if you all would see me before you leave please, if it’s not too much trouble for you spry adventurers!” (5 Uses of Madame Eva’s mystery herb)

   After exiting the tent you the party begins to spread through your the encampment, once again seeing the revelry of the Vistani come into full force. People singing, dancing, and generally just laughing with joy. Before your performance you would’ve spotted Fammy being hoisted by several Vistani, all drunkenly laughing and proclaiming that “they must dance in the name of the cat king”. Eventually their attention is caught by your performance recounting your card reading, most of the crowd seems to miss most of the nuance but still clap with enjoyment at the impromptu performance. (Roll Perception Shayne)

    Gadhan you feel warm and fuzzy inside, everything around you seems to translate itself into a positive experience. The feel of the wind, the dark of the night, the glow of the moon, it all feels as if they hug you and imbue feelings of happiness within you. Looking around you find no sign of Minerva, at all. However in your drug addled state you begin to feel as if the darkness is bleeding into the campsite, slowly creeping past the light of the fire. You wander around drinking and looking around, before coming upon a puddle of water not far from the river the Vistani have camped next to. Looking into the puddle a startling sight is brought into focus. You’re not sure if it’s because of the drugs, but looking down at that puddle Gadhan you see your reflection, but you look much older. Your face and chest appears scarred all over and a part of your scalp appears forcibly bald from burn scarring that appears to be healed mostly. However what catches your attention the most is the look in your eyes, where you can see the look a man truly broken. 

  (Guys have the night, and can skip to the morning if you wish) 

((Perception:  9))

     Shayne absently scratches Fammy behind the ears and just takes in the revelry the rest of the night until finally turning in and getting rest.  (Not looking to accomplish anything else this evening...)

Tahnis places the herb in his pack before taking in the rest of the evening, enjoying one glass of wine before bed. He makes a mental note to meet Madam Eva before leaving.

Gadhan falls asleep by the pool.

Silent Blade goes to sleep right away! 

Gekks trys his best to pick a good spot, not to far from camp but far enough away he feels like he isnt bothering anyone, he pulls up his cloak over his head and looks up in the night sky, gazing at the stars longingly. He gazes at one bright one towards the left and says to himself "Maybe this time theyll stick around..." He glances at his hand and watches a jolt jump around his palm "Though maybe its best if they dont." He turns on his side and and curls in clutching his bag "I just hope... able... do some good." he says between breaths that begin to slow as he soon drifts to sleep

Tahnis is going to take out his book and write some notes about the day and the vision he saw before falling asleep.
