You look over at the group of Vistani tavern owners you spoke to earlier. They are still engaged in their argument. The tavern is empty save for them. You admire Ismark's caution, but you are positive that it's safe here. You may be a stranger to Barovia, but you would rather have more information about his request before walking into his home.
"You've taken an interest in me?" you ask. "Am I to infer something from that?"
He gives you a stone-cold look, then looks away after a brief moment. "No."
"In my home town, someone like you - golden hair, an air of mystery..."
"Unfortunately, I have given you the wrong impression."
"I apologize then," you reply.
"No need."
"But listen... if I'm honest, I really don't know if I am able to accept your plea for help. The details you've given me are too scarce. I wouldn't fault you if you had simply hoped to chat with me."
He breathes a sigh of defeat. "Listen," he says. "You are not the first adventurer I have asked for help in this matter. But I am getting desperate."
Here we go. He's finally going to spill the beans. Maybe if you accept whatever this problem is, in return for helping him, he will offer assistance in your quest for your sister.
"The problem is regarding my sister," he says.
You almost feel compelled to ask him to repeat himself, just in case you heard him wrong.
