We left the hill without further incident and returned to the Martikovs’ Winery with the gem in our possession. We were allowed inside and after some discussion were welcomed to stay the night, or any other night should we happen to find ourselves in this part of Barovia in return for our service to them. I also asked them if they knew anything of what the druids or Kavan spoke of, though Davian seemed largely unaware. We also agreed to guard the Martikov’s shipment of wine to Vallaki, and to have an additional two barrels taken to Krezk. Come morning we were each granted multiple supply packs, all of which contained a healing potion. Soon after we set off along the road to Vallaki as planned. Upon arrival we decided it best that Emilia and Jig stay out of the town, so Neph and I went in to stock up on supplies. Upon entering, the Martikov brothers pointed us towards a tailor and blacksmith where we could pick up clothes and bolts respectively. As we started to go on our way, the guards gave us some trouble but I assured them we weren’t going to cause any trouble and that we were just here to stock up on supplies and leave, which convinced them to leave us alone. First stop was the Cracked Anvil, a blacksmith’s shop, where I hoped to resupply on bolts. I wasn’t able to have any bolts made given the short notice, however the smith did have a dozen silvered bolts he was willing to part with due to our party’s efforts in saving the town. However, Neph set off a surge of wild magic, nearly killing the shopkeeper and injuring myself. As such, a fight almost broke out and we were kicked out of the shop. Afterwards, I had some harsh words with Neph about avoiding unintended casualties, and I made my way to the Tailor’s by myself. Although, as we were talking we saw that the Burgomaster’s house burned down as we passed by, and in its place a set of gallows were erected upon which the Burgomaster, his family, and Izek were hung. It would seem that the townspeople finally got fed up with Vargas Vallakovich's leadership. Eventually I arrived at the tailor, and upon entering I was greeted by two men and a woman running the shop. Thankfully, things went far smoother here and I was able to get the clothes we needed without incident.

Whilst clearing out the second floor before heading to the basement, we found out one of the doors opened onto a balcony above the winery. Hunched over one of the barrels, I saw another druid with one of the gnarled staves, which I promptly shot twice, fa...
