Day 28: How do YOU Know Gull?
General Summary
Day 28 (Xololuna 4, 735/Marpenoth 14–23, 1494)
Ayduin starts his day off with a little stroll around the abbey and a reflection on winter, death, and life. He tries and fails to read bad smut. Ri-An shows Ayduin the beginnings of their book. Bodaway wakes up with weird scabby eyes. Osrin and Sylvain continue to receive messages, with Cal wondering just what is your relationship with these fabled Dark Powers young lady and Kyra wondering how the fuck do you know about Gull? Savva becomes Bodaway's seeing eye commoner and Ri-An and Osrin take turns beating the crap out of healing Sylvain then healing the damage. Sylvain and Ri-An offer magical healing to Alya, a Vistana fighter, who declines. Bodaway's scabby eyes fall out, revealing a pair of newer, older eyes beneath. The gang tries to get some privacy and Dworic is not particularly considerate about it. They agree to go to the Fidatov estate next to see if they can solve Krezk's hunger problem and help secure their pet commoners' place there, and that after the dinner with Strahd — assuming everything doesn't wildly change before then — to refocus their efforts on the war rather than the battles, and to seek out the leads Madam Eva gave them so long ago. Ri-An fixes some spoiled food in Krezk, Sylvain has some water, and Ri-An tells Sylvain a charming story about how sometimes cannibalism, magic, and resourcefulness can all come together into one delicious meal. Sylvain receives another message from Kyra, and the whole world continues to be perplexed by Gull. Back at the abbey, everyone prepares for the following day's journey, with Bodaway and Ayduin both reading books of equal importance and similar subject matter. Sylvain leads a card game, and Osrin asks Cal about the Fidatovs. Later that evening, when all but Sylvain are asleep, Strahd drops by to break the news: unfortunately they can't use his teleportation circle, but he's happy to send his carriage for them. They wouldn't mind spending the night at the windmill, would they? (They would.) After he leaves, they resume their long rests, a little less restful than before.
