[IC] Into Barovia

[Rhodric]

Rhoderic readies his bow and moves his horse to follow Sumayl and Aly.

[GM Marvel]

A moaning sob floats through the still, gray streets, coloring your thoughts with sadness. The sounds flow from a dark, 40' square, two-story townhouse.

[Rhodric]

Rhoderic keeps his bow ready to privide covering fire for Sumayl and Aly

[GM Marvel]

You had entered the village from the East and you were traveling West when you heard the loud haunting moaning.  You follow the sound to a town square and then turn south until you're standing outside a 40' square, two story home.  The windows seem to be boarded up from the inside.  When you call out to whomever is making the noise inside the home, you get no answer other then moaning sobs.

[Alynorae Eilnathna]

Aly dismounts her horse and knocks on the door.  

"Hello?  Hello?  Are you alright?"

[GM Marvel]

When you call out to whomever is moaning, your voice seems abnormally loud in comparison to the deathly silence of the village.  The moaning sobs falterlter for but a second before resuming.

[Alynorae Eilnathna]

Aly looks over her shoulder at the men who are still mounted on their horses, and asks, "Shall I go in while you wait out here?"

[Rhodric]

"This village gives me the creeps! We should stay together!", Rhoderic says as he discounts from his horse keeping his short bow at the ready.

[Sumayl al-Akhir]

"We can all go. Hariq here will guard your steeds, he will call out if there is any distress and defend them."

Sumayl dismounts and draws his sword.

"something is wrong, this village is too empty."

[GM Marvel]

Once you all are at the door and whomever is moaning still doesn't reply to your hails, one of you checks the handle.  It moves freely but the door won't budge.  Likely it's boarded up from the inside, just like the windows.  The sobbing continues.

[OoC: If you want to force the door open, you need a d20 roll.   Aly needs a 13 or lower; Rhodric needs a 10 or lower; Sumayl needs an 8 or lower. ]
