Quoted By:
You enter your room.
Ireena is sitting there with a man dressed in black. Her face goes pale as you enter.
"Hello," you say. "Ireena... who is this?"
She opens her mouth to speak, but the man speaks first. "Hello," he replies. "I am Vasili Von Holtz." A practiced polite smile flashes on his youthful face. His intonation is refined.
"Oh," you say. "I am Aranuel, cleric of Kossuth. An adventurer from outside of Barovia."
"I noticed that. I'm from out of town myself, but I grew up here in Barovia. I recognized Ireena as being from the village, and decided to stop by. She's never met me before, so I spent some time introducing myself. She told me some of the most interesting tales."
You look at Ireena. She gives you an apologetic smile, but altogether seems comfortable.
"I am on a mission to escort Ireena to safety, and the innkeeper has advised us both that we must leave with haste," you say.
"Forgive me," he says, his tone going soft, "but it doesn't seem like you've done a very good job on your mission. This town is not safe, and it seems like you've played a big part in that."
