I am looking for some special bones. The bones were lost and they need to be put back.

Is anyone else in the church or in earshot?

(You're in the corner, off to the side, but the main chapel area has a lot of people. So it really depends on how loud you're being)

Milivoj shrugs: Yeah, like I said. You're hungry. Gotta be with chompers like that. Slip me some gold and I'll dig up all the bones you can eat.

Milivoj: A bone's a bone, right? I guess 1 copper for something small, 1 silver for something big, and a gold if it still has meat on it.

(Are you serious with this right now?!) I need a minute to decide how Eikka reacts but however that ends up being the rage that distorts my face for a moment might call for an intimidation roll)

(Hes not brain damaged. He should know what we are talking about.)

@drafterman

Lean up to Milikov, and whisper: If you taken the Saint's bones, I will make you regret it if anything happens to this church. Where is the Saint?

[Grahf Intimidation Check (advantage): d20 (620) + 4 = 24]

At the sight of a scowling half-orc and a dragonborn whispering sweet nothings into his ear, Milivoj shifts uncomfortably in his place. He looks around before turning back.

Milivoj: Back off man, I don't know where "the Saint" is, I sold the bones to old Henrik, the coffin maker. I don't know why he wanted them, but he did, and he paid. Me and my brothers and sisters have to eat.

Thank you.

Assuming Lucien isn't surrounded by people, ask about the coffin maker.

Lucien is still in his office, getting a small respite from the desperate parishioners in the chapel.

Lucien: Henrik? Why would he want the bones? It doesn't make sense. I'm afraid I don't know much about him. Given his work, not many people associate with him. I imagine he's rather lonely.

He gives you directions to where the coffin-maker shop is (N6)

We know area well. We give directions for free drinks. With that he reaches across the table and grabs one of the flagons of wine, downing it in almost one gulp. We escort for coin. 5 gold per day.

Yevgeni: Well kill wolfs. Da.

Snerp claps and takes a swig of his drink, excellent, we would definitely be interested in all of these things. 

What can you tell us about the abandoned town? The haunted Mansion? The rumor of the Mad Wizard by the lake being talked about?

Do you know of the Burgomaster? His like or dislikes? What sort of musical tastes does he have? 

Are there any bookshops in town?

(We're def hiring these guys as escorts for exploring 👍. 5g a day isn't bad at all.)

(I'll request it again later as a reminder, but i'll be giving 44gold and 1 silver piece from the gold on me to any of the group also long resting in the inn with my light activity.)

(From MPOV, I'm just dumping gold into whoever finds it or receives it from a sale or trade, but we can basically just treat everyone's gold as one big pile unless people are really intent on having their own gold)

Szoldar: You're a talker. Listening to talkers makes me thirsty. He downs another glass.

Abandoned town is Berez. Flood wiped it out long ago. Only thing there is mosquitoes and ruins. No wolfs, so we don't go there.

Haunted mansion? Is house of dragon knights. Spirits attack anyone that enters.

Mad Mage is crazy man. Lives on north side of lake and shoots lightning from his ass to catch fish. Might be good wolf hunter. Szoldar shrugs.

Burgomaster dislikes unhappiness. Everyone in town must be happy. No one in town is happy, but don't let him find out. Anyone not happy is "in league with Strahd" and gets "purged of evil." We spend most of our time out in the woods, so we don't deal with it much.

Yevgeni: Spend time in woods. Da. Thirsty. Da. Yevengi finishes off his glass.

Snerp downs his drink then calls for another round of drinks as he keeps talking. 

We'll definitely be doing some wolf hunting Bois, but are there any bookshops in town? Or a place that sells trinkets, odds and ends, and the like?

Szoldar: Stockyard sells general supplies. Is where we get gear.

Yevgeni: Ooh! Blinsky.

Szoldar: No, no Blinsky, you went to Blinsky yesterday.

Yevgeni: Blinsky is good. Sells best toys. Da.

Szoldar merely shakes his head and drinks.

Before Eikka and Earth leave, Lucien remembers their question regarding healing and resurrection. The priest reveals that he does have healing magic (cure wounds) and ability to fix some ailments and diseases (lesser restoration). For resurrection, the only thing he is familiar with is the raising of the dead via black magic, but that the Abbot in the Abbey in Krezk has been said to work miracles.

Interesting. Anyway, if Eikka wants to rest up at the Inn first, we can do that.

(Yeah, Eikk and Grahf make it to the Inn. When Snerp and Roberts wrap up their convo we can long rest)
