"When I heard my old master was in Barovia to kill the vampire," Ezmerelda says, "I came here myself looking for him," she says. "Him and I - that is, my master and I - didn't part on the best terms, and I was trying to reunite with him. He proved very difficult to track down. But Strahd didn't... that would surely be a reunion gift for my old teacher, don't you think?"
You manage to say "yes", but the more you talk, the harder your head throbs. You need to get to the point.
>"I wasn't up there looking for you.""I wasn't up there looking for you," you say. "I was looking for... for, well, someone else."
"Ah," Ezmerelda says. "That simplifies things a lot. The Abbey isn't a popular travel destination - I knew you were there for a reason, and you didn't seem to be in need of help, and I wasn't sure if you had come there after me."
"No," you admit. "Actually, I was trying to find my sister."
Ezmerelda raises an eyebrow.
"She is the reason I came to Barovia," you continue.
"That's something we have in common, then?"
"Well, kind of," you say.
"No, definitely. My old master is like a father to me. I think I can understand."
You nod. You are struggling to stay awake, but you feel like you've used your consciousness wisely - if you were once being interrogated by this woman, you feel like now you're closer to making a friend of her instead.
"Listen," you whisper. "I think... the woman you met in the Abbey might be my sister."
Ezmerelda looks like she's going to say something, but she stops herself and looks at you closer. "I'm... not sure," she says. "She couldn't explain how she recognized you. I insisted on taking you out here to wake you up, but she's been almost obsessed with you."
You know better than to get your hopes up, but even this thought makes your heart race. "It's been... a long time since I saw her," you say. Although it is weird that she would be so unsure of your relation to her. "If she is my sister, what if she just doesn't recognize me?"
"How long has it been?" Ezmerelda asks.
"About ten years," you reply.
She lets that process for a moment. After thinking about it, a determined air seems to fall over her, and she nods. "I'll take you back to camp - if there's a possibility she is your sister, no matter how small, we need to reunite you immediately."
What do you do?
>Your work here is finished. You are happy and relieved. Fall back into unconsciousness and let yourself rest and recover.
