Bane: Up to three creatures you can see must make charisma saving throws. If a target fails, whenever they make an attack roll or saving throw before the spell ends, they must roll a d4 and subtract the number rolled.(higher spell slots add 1d4 per slot higher than 1st level 👏👏)
(Invisibility, Suggestion, and Phantasmal Force are also ones I'm considering tbh)

(nice support cantrips breh)
I think I might take bane next time. It's another level 1 spell, but it docks 4 from the next roll creatures i target with it take. That with Vicious Mockery are pretty solid debuffs)

Looks like we are equally qualified in religion but if any talking is involved you will have advantage. You make the roll, I will cast guidance.
Don't use ur spell slots. Just assist with the check and it will be rolled at advantage(Roll 2d20, take the highest roll.)

(is snerp ever not ready to smooth talk people? 😂)
As we are walking to the church I catch a whiff of Eikkas armor grease, realizing my presdigitation on the goop has worn off.
Can't very well have her walking into a church smelling like that, they'll boot us out i think to myself.
I mutter the incantation for presdigitation under my breath while strumming on my lute to mask the muttering and the smell of strawberries once more fills the air.

(what's ur religion modifier? Mines +3. Either I can assist you in those rolls or you can with me. It's best the person with the highest bonus does it while the other assists with that check so it's at advantage.
Two heads are better than one as it's said 👏💯)

I'll be back soon try not to get in trouble.
Upon Eikka interrupting the conversation I just started with the shop employee, I turn to him.
My apologies friend for cutting this short. But meet us in the tavern after work and we can talk then if you wish. Otherwise, I'm not one to let someone wander off alone, so off I shall go with her! Good day!
I follow Eikka out of the shop and to the church

(Actually, I just looked. Short swords, daggers, and rapiere are finesse items. I can use Dex or Str as the ability for rolls with them.
@drafter- can I dual wield.say two daggers, or a short sword and a dagger?)

No inn? Well that's disappointing. I suppose we'll be camping outside in this beautiful and splendid place then 😂. With that being said, my friends likely wish to purchase things from you, so I'll step aside. Thank you for the help.
I bow to the shop keep and step away, walking over to the gentleman stocking shelves.
Why Hello! Do you have a moment to talk by chance?

Pastries!? Seems like you enjoy them! We'll definitely have to pay her a visit to try them 😋. Could you point us in the direction of the tavern and inn by chance?

Oh yes, and he's a centuries old vampire that has cursed this land preventing anyone from leaving it? That must be it.
Well isn't that lovely...
I turn around to the rest of the group
You hear that? We might as well make ourselves comfortable cause apparently we can't leave even if we wanted to.
I turn back around to the shop keep, and pause for a short moment, before pulling out the deeds, but still holding onto them.
The Baron left us these as gifts for our arrival. Do you know anyone who would be interested in these properties or would you otherwise know where they are and what condition they might be in?
As he respond, I sneakily cast illusory script on on the deeds so they appear current and as if we are the rightful owners, along with presdigitation to make them appear clean and unaged.

We don't get many... customers so to speak.
What do you mean? Also, we were requested here by Baron Strahd von Zarovich, do you have anything you can tell us about him before we officially meet him?

As the shopkeep considers the offer I observe the shop for any strange or unusual items that might sneakily be pocketed.
(I'm not taking anything as of yet, just looking).
Is there a blacksmith or a bowyer in town by chance?

(60gp is a fair price but I'll see if I can't barter for a little extra.. The gems are 10g each at cheap prices. The rings are 5g each at cheap price. Trinkets are 5(ivory handbrush) I can't find the other items general value tho...)
I consider the shopkeeps offer.
How about 70g for the lot, and to sweeten the pot, you or someone else you know can have a part in the yet to be announced publically showI'll be putting on tonite for this town?
Did i mention I'm one of the premier bards in the Feywild? It's definitely not a show you wanna miss out on a chance to be a part of.

I use presigitation to clean the jewelery and gems as I walk up to the shopkeep and spread the various things out.
Good day, we're just some weary travelers looking to offload some treasurea we've found in our travels. Are you interested in bartering for these or is there someone else who would be more interested?

They see that the fog has receded away from the house, allowing exit back into the town proper
(This btw. Before we go back to the windmill we should go vack and press that innkeeper and people who were at the tavern about why nobody bothered to mention Barovia had been abandoned for 200 years.)

Liberals should keep in mind that the fact that more people have emerged to accuse Kavanaugh does NOT increase the likelihood that he is guilty.
Well i mean, if it did then something appearing in the National Enquirer and the like would be a sure sign something is truth 😂

You forgot to mention that the FBI investigation was one that was reopened because it was relatively recent, on government property, and allegedly while Thomas was on the job as a government official.
Also, that that reopened background check, would be doing exactly what Senate committee officials are already doing. Which is to question supplied corroborating witnesses. From what I've read, so far none are corroborating it. They would also question Ford, THEN question Kavanaugh regarding those accusations. Then give an assessment of credibility.
That assessment of credibility for each interviewed person, but it wouldnt be a measure of a criminality. So far from what I read none of the names she listed have corroborated her story. Her own recounting in 2012 total therapist doesnt even corroborate it.
"Lie-Detector" tests though. Lulz, talk about junk forensics 😂😂

But that is behind us. Eikka says in surprise. Shouldn't we go forward
We've hit a path that will take us too long to continue forward. We're going backwards yes, but so we can move forward again! Hurry
I dash through the hole in the wall and back down the stairs. Running for the stairway that leads to the first floor, and out the way Roberts and Grahf went.

@kindertina
I stop trying to pry the floorboards and look at Merlin and Kindertina
We need to stop this and take the way Grahf and Roberts took. Maybe they had better luck, but we're not having much here and it doesn't look like we have much time to keep trying to find a way down.

One more thing - I disagree that VTNL on DP1 is terrible. It used to be SoP
Juat because something is done a certain way doesn't mean that way is right. I can understand why a person might think VTNL would be more beneficial under the presumption that a mislynch is always bad. But sometimes a mislynch and a VTNL are equally harmful. In odd number of player games, VTNL or ML, you are reducing the maximum number of mislynches town has no matter what. In even number player games, a VTNL doesnt dock 1 off the maximum number of lynches, so it's actually not poor play to choose to VTNL instead.

@Earth
Your Wisdom (Perception) check lets you spot, hear, or otherwise detect the presence of something. It measures your general awareness of your surroundings and the keenness of your senses [link]
When you look around for clues and make deductions based on those clues, you make an Intelligence (Investigation) check
It seems like either could honestly be used in this situation tbh

From what I recall its one of those things that depends on the mod as to whether it's allowed.

(we should have probably just turned around to begin with tbh. If any of us gets hit by the blades we're likely to be too damaged to survive even a jump from the second floor and the light damage that would do. Plus the windows have been bricked from what Drafter relayed, so jumping out the second floor might not even be an option.
Honestly, given second thought. I think we should just stop trying to get out this way cause its wasting time and go straight for the way Roberts and Grahf did.)

@Earth
(I'm confused why it's not an investigation check and just straight intelligence, but given that, yeah she prolly does have a higher one.
I have inspiration so I'll probably check for myself and use that to ensure it if that's what we decide.
Honestly though, I think our best bet is to try to pry the floorboards up and get to a lower floor, or just go back down the attic stairs and up the stairs to the first floor.

@drafterman
(It's was an Intel check when Drafter mistakenly did it, so me or kinder would prob make the most sense.
@Drafter, would Kindertina or I be better at studying the blades. By that i mean who would have the higher bonus?)

@drafterman
If you could explain how one person could assist another in doing this, sure
(Yeah, that's the same issue I was having with the idea. How it would realistically be assistance, rather than coaching or commanding ex: "jump now")

RAW under "working together" is
"a character can only provide help if the task is one that he or she could attempt alone."
This could honestly go either way though cause though assessing the blades can be done alone, I'm puzzled as to how it would be working together and not realistically one person coaching another instead/making that check themselves in lieu of the other doing so.)

(do you have a dagger or sword on you? If you do try to pry or smash the floorboards then pry open what's exposed if anything. We gotta try that real quick then hightail it back down and up thru the stairs to first floor and out where Roberts and Earth made it if that fails.)

(So one person couldn't study the blades and then shout "go" to the others?)
