TOPIC: Meet at the Inn

"What are the steps we should take from this point to safely and successfully find and acquire the silver raven icon?" Lexan suggests in answer to Kryndal's question.

(Sorry just back from vacation with no computer service. Catching up.)

"Memories, what are the steps we should take from this point to most safely find the silver raven icon?"

“Pass through these door to the vampires study,” the memory says jumping to a fractured statue of an old man near a door at the far side of the hall. “The silver you seek is protected by a blazing fire and a redoubled lie. Auger for the key. Bring light to darkness. Three remain and set us free.”

Again, to the group... "Three remain... What questions would most help us on our quest?"

(Do we have an update of the map?)

OOC: Have been on vacation also and have almost no time to get creative. All my brain power is being taxed by a new project for my business right now. Also for the past several weeks. Sorry I have not been as creatively productive here for a while. Hoping things will change in a week or so. /sigh

"If we leave, can we return with more questions? If not, I would like to know how to vanquish our foe."

"Is anyone else worried that setting them free might be a bad thing? I mean, I guess it might be good for them, but if they are some sort of spirit and attack us..."

The second card is shows the image of a road worn scholar, his robe marked with 10 pentacles “This card speaks of history. Hidden knowledge to help understand a fearsome foe forgotten in a place of dizzying heights that he is now loathe to travel. But beware the path to knowledge winds ever upward and the littered with sharp stones.”

(speaking to the group) I think the memories may help us find the "forgotten place" to help understand our foe. I think the memories could be the history foretold by Madam Eva's card or "hidden knowledge". I think we should ask with care, but not waste too much time. I think setting them free may a good thing if they have been imprisoned by the vampire or other evil forces.

"I don't think setting them free would be bad. They have been helpful so far and do not seem malevolent. I could be wrong however..."

"Twice asked and twice answered barbarian, if you live you may return for such is the prerogative of the living but if we may answer is in the end also up to you. Strahd fears his ancient blade of light, now dark the sun sword lost and broken. Now but one remains to see our pledge fulfilled. Choose your words carefully." the voice says shifting between a distant pair of knightly statues and sounding quite worn.


OOC: the map has been updated ( i967.photobucket.com/albums/ae159/paulmiszczak/misc/floor2_zps1c270ca4.jpg ) you entered room 45 from room 42 and the spirits directed you towards room 37.
