Ingrid moves in behind the afflicted knight, attempting to add to the onslaught and slay the foul monster. She brings down to vicious overhead swings, chopping into its hide.

Hera attempts to finish off Afflicted3

Attack: 9 Damage: 8

Attack: 22 Damage: 9

And finish it off she does. As Afflicted3 dies, nothing is left but the dying howl of the Holy Affliction leaving their once lifelike lungs, and the room is quiet once more. Here's an updated map.

Grasping to catch his breath through unstoppable insane giggles, Jimmy points to either one of the circular stairwells leading updwards from this room...."Should we...go on....up?!"

Hera will go up the stairs to Q14.

Q14 leads upstairs to Q24.

Q24 - CHAPEL BALCONY

This wooden balcony overhangs the mansion’s chapel. An exquisitely carved wooden throne rests at the west end between two doors, and narrow archways lead to spiral staircases going up and down. Hanging from the high ceiling is an iron chandelier with candle holders shaped like tiny silver dragons.

From here, you can see the graveyard and lots of withered olive trees.

Hera goes back downstairs and heads to Area Q6

I remember it with great sorrow. Intagria was one of us, born in Barovia like you and me. She was peculiar, however, because every day, after a day gathering olives, she stayed in the mountains while the rest of us left. Some said they had seen her cry, and that's why she stayed among the olive trees, to be alone with her sorrow. Many years of drought razed the land back then, but although the other crops dried up and died, the olive trees on our hill would not: they remained the best harvests, to everyone's surprise. This gave rise to the rumor that the olive trees were being watered by the girl's very tears. One morning, we found the girl dead, leaning on one of the olive trees: whether she died of sorrow we will never know. We buried her in Argynvostholt next to the olive trees where she cried. The next day, the olive trees has withered.

(Something in your gut tells you that the graveyard where you saw the withered olive trees is most likely your objective here, just in case you forgot. If you remembered and wanted to explore the ruins more, be my guest.)

Hera will lead the team back to the graveyard with the withered olive trees and look around, trying to see if the item they're looking for is in plain sight or if the team will have to start digging.

The graveyard has been completely withered and desecrated. However, you hope that if you start digging, you can find the dried flowers that were once bathed in the tears of Intagria. Such an artifact would be quite a find.

Grab a shovel. Or use your hands.

I'm going to need some Perception checks, DC15. First person to pass all three finds the dried flowers. Fail, and I have a gift for you all.

I think Jimmy recognizes some of the gravestones in here....likely victims of his previous life misdeeds?  Regardless, he focuses a keen eye towards finding a shovel and starts to dig-

• DC15 Perception check #1: 11
• DC15 Perception check #2: 7
• DC15 Perception check #3: 9

 Rolling a second time (to simulate rolling @ advantage, thanks to Hawk Spirit):

• DC15 Perception check #1 roll 2: 6
• DC15 Perception check #2 roll 2: 13
• DC15 Perception check #3 roll 2: 7

So, in summary, here are my rolls @ advantage: 11, 13, 9  (sucks, sucketh more, sucketh even more)

Presents: 17

Are: 4

Death: 17

Jeremiah closes his eyes for a moment, summoning the spirit of the Hawk to aid in your search.

(Hawk Spirit. The hawk spirit is a consummate hunter, aiding you and your allies with its keen sight. When a creature makes an attack roll against a target in the spirit’s aura, you can use your reaction to grant advantage to that attack roll. In addition, you and your allies have advantage on Wisdom (Perception) checks while in the aura.)

Ingrid takes up a shovel, and scans the graveyard looking for Intagria’s resting place.

(SHORT REST HEALTH: 29 )

PERCEPTIONS: 19 14 18

(Shiara and Jimmy should roll additionally for advantage - would have had the totem up from start)

Perception checks: 15, 5, 21

Re-roll of the 1 from the first check: 14

It's all up to Hera.
