We begin by entering the Village of Barovia on the eastern side. As we make our way into town, it's early evening. The mist and overcast darkness is still with us. We notice there are almost no people around. The buildings we pass are more residential. It's a poverty stricken area with the builds in disrepair and the windows are boarded up with some of them. We found Wolfs Way and what we assume is a house that was mentioned in one of the deeds as a Durst owned property. At the next intersection, more of the same.

We continue into town towards an area that appears to be a town square. We come upon some people in a line headed towards a cart. Misty wanted to duck into the mercantile. Bildrath's Mercantile was the name of it. We also see a place called Blood on the Vine Tavern. Most of us entered the Bildrath's, Haldar and Zanfyr stayed outside. Misty and Rinn used their disguise kits to look a little more human so as to limit the questions about that. Misty started trying to sell some of the artifacts she found in the Durst Manor. She's not getting much money for any of it. She finally gives up and put's a mummified Goblin hand on one of the shelve's. Snoggly picked up some 20 feet of hemp rope.

After a bit of looking, we all leave and head to the tavern. It and the Mercantile are both in fairly good shape. The Tavern is a large building with multiple entrances. One entrance to the restaurant, one to the tavern, and one to the restroom. We enter and Snoggly goes straight for the tavern side. Most of the others find places to sit and they order some food and drink. There is a main barkeep and three servers moving around taking orders. There is another man sitting off to the side eyeing us. Snoggly can't seem to get a good drink. They keep offering him wine. They don't have Whisky or Brandy. He finally settles for ale. Haldar is staying outside.

The gentleman sitting alone comes over and introduces himself. Ismark Kyonovich. Rinn recognises the name as the som of the Burgomaster. Alexa spoke of him and tole us we could trust him. He asks us where we come from. He doesn't seem to know anything about Waterdeep. He asks if we are for hire. We proceeds to tell us he needs someone to escort his sister away from this place. He keeps his voice down and eyes another table where three women are sitting. A couple of times, Snoggly speaks up and he tries to indicate that what we are talking about, he wants to keep quiet about. He asks us to join him at his home and pays for our food. He leaves and after we finish, we head down the road.
