Bildrath rubs his chin as he thinks things over. He then smiles broadly and scoops the items over to his side of the counter. He drops a heavy sack toward Snerp.
Pleasure doing business with you young... man? Eh, whatever. As far as your show, I don't think you'll get much of an audience. As far as businesses, just me an' the tavern. We don't get many... customers so to speak.
He chuckles to himself.

Bildrath looks the group over, very slowly, and very suspiciously, then at the pile of goods laid out on the counter before him.
Whether or not I'm interested, I'm the only shop in town.
He slowly rummages through the items before him (let me know if I missed anything).
- eye patch with a carnelion
- gold rings x4
- ivory handbrush
- jewelry box
- 3 green gems
I'll give you 60 gold for the lot of it.

The group looks around at the nearby buildings. The sparse light from a building southeast of the square building spills out from behind drawn heavy curtains. A sign over the door, creaking on its hinges, reads "Bildrath's Mercantile." As you enter, you hear a mournful sobbing from another building close-by to the south.
Inside the mercantile, the building is packed with shelving containing a variety of goods and gear. Currently stocking the shelves is a giant of a young man, whose leather tunic is barely able to contain his form. He gives you no noticed as he stairs at two trinkets in his hands with a confused look on his face.
From the far end of the shop you hear an older man's voice: Oh, for the sake of the Morninglord, Parriwimple, the red one goes on top, the blue one on the bottom... the RED ONE. The one in your right... RIGHT... OTHER RIGHT... hand.
The voice is coming from a stout and balding man he stands behind a counter, attempting to direct Parriwimple in his stocking of the shelves.

GAME UNPAUSED
Day 2Afternoon
The group spends some time to catch their breath from the torment that was the Death House. Between Eikka's mending and Snerps' prestidigitation, they are able to restore and mend the weapons, trinkets, gems, and deeds recovered from the house. The books taken from the various libraries (other than the spell book) crumbled to dust and were irrecoverable.
(What do?)

(When you do a short rest, you can bond to a specific weapon, rather than a type. Thereafter you can't be disarmed and can summon it from anywhere on the same plane as a bonus action.

(Can Minor Illusion make jewelery look better than what it is?)
(Eh... in a sense, but probably not the sense you mean. You can create an illusion of better looking jewelry, but illusions created by minor illusion are static. It won't move. Prestidigitation or mending would be better)
(Also, can I cast Sanctuary on myself, and if so, can I block a monster from attacking anyone else, so he can't do anything?)
(You can cast Sanctuary on yourself, but it only protects you from attacks or harmful spells. Monsters are certainly free to take other actions or to target other people)

Messrs. Grahf, Snerp, Roberts, Luraxt and Mistress Eikka:Greetings and welcome to my humble valley of Barovia. I hope that your visit to the ancient and venerable Durst Household - known locally as the "Death House" - was not too disturbing. It is a brief trip down memory lane that I oft arrange for visitors to engage upon. A test of spirits if you will. It pleases me to no end to see that you have survived with naught lost, and have arrived properly to my domain.Enjoy your stay: mingle with the locals, sample the cuisine. I am sure that our paths will cross at some point, and formal introductions can be arranged.Your gracious host,Lord Strahd von Zarovich
The group notices that the items taken from the house have aged considerably. Anything perishable rots away to dust. The mundane armor and weapons (save the silvered shortsword and cloak of protection) corrode and rust. The valuable gems and jewelry tarnish, but remain intact. The deeds show signs of age, but are still legible.
Around them, the town appears different. Though still dreary and desolate, some of the buildings do show signs of habitation, especially the larger buildings toward the center of town. The squeaky wheel of a cart echos down one of the small streets that criss-cross the town. In the distance, looming high over the town at the peak of a mountainside is a gloomy castle.
Though the fog has receded, the thick cloud-cover remains. Even though it is still clearly day light (Day 2, Afternoon), Luraxt finds himself(?) unaffected.
GAME PAUSED - ADVANCE TO LEVEL 3!!

The party scrambles away from the house as it begins to pull in on itself. It rises off of its foundation, and the exterior walls warp inwards, as if some great force were pulling it into itself. A supernatural blue light emanates from the windows as the house collapses, as if grushed by a giant invisible hand. Smaller and smaller it goes until all that is left is a pinpoint of blue light that suddenly winks out of existence, leaving an empty, bare lot.
From where the house disappeared, a letter floats gently to the ground. It bears the familiar seal of Strahd.

@Vaarka
Yeah, I'm not going to FOS for making a joke. But the thing is, you followed up that "joke" with a "yeah, but I'm serious about that" here in post #189. So you can't make a post that looks like a joke, then claim it's serious, then claim it's a joke again when it works against you. This is part of the FOS that is building up against you, it looks like you're trying to hedge your bets. No matter what anyone says, you have an "out."
Budda flips scum? "Look, I FOSd him from DP1"
Budda flips town? "Hey man, I was just joking."
And you made a "joke" about Danielle being scum, then magically she appears on one of your scum lists (which, again, includes 2/3rds of the people. Are you Mafia thinking that Town is scum or something?)

@Danielle
My issue with hammer is he heavily FOS'd RM, but then ended up voting for Supa. Voting contrary to your statements has always been a scum tell for me. But now that I went back and through Vaarka's posts, I am beginning to FOS him more. I'm comfortable with a Supa/Hammer/Vaarka lynch, but Hammer is the only feasible one with the time remaining.

@Buddamoose
No Town Reads. He's Scum Read just about everyone:
#161 - Earth/Supa
#192 - Rather lynch RM than nobody
#214 - Budda/Supa
#319 - Slight FOS on GP
#325 - Danielle/Drafter
#328 - More FOS on GP
I also note that sometimes he starts off jokingly FOSing someone (Danielle is scum for watching TV, you're scum for using emojis) then develops that into a fullfledged FOS, as if he is testing the waters for an FOS on that person. But really, he's FOS'd 6 out of 9 people.

I've been thinking about Budda's claim. At first I was skeptical. An innocent child is a fairly solid claim, but in a small game, a DP3 innocent child is right on the cusp. If he is banking the game could end before them, then it's a really ingenious, if risky claim. I think 2 maf is reasonable. Meaning 2 mislynches and 3 nks gives maf a win. That puts us at, potentially DP3 with one kill away from a maf win.
I agree this is a stretch, and am not discounting the claim at the moment, but it is not a slam dunk claim as I would normally interpret it as.
Right now, my chief FOS are Supa (for the unsolicited vanilla claim and reasons previously given) and Hammer (for reasons previously given).
RM, unfortunately, is town which basically means I ignore him for the rest of the game.
Earth and Danielle I don't have a read on yet.
GP is GP and pretty much inscrutable to me.
I'm waffling on Vaarka. On the one hand I see his actions as legitimate scum hunting, on the other I see it as casting a bunch of FOS to see what sticks and can whip up a wagon on.
