• The wolf hunters will come back in the evening with Carlos and will be expecting the rest of their payment
  • They also have news of Ismark in Barovia Village, a letter to Ireena

My dearest sister, life has become more difficult these days since your leaving. With father's death now publicly known, I've stepped up to fill the role of Burgomaster. But the villagers reject me. They refuse to be led by "The Lesser".

I know that you would have been a better leader, Ireena. I just wish I had your political prowess.

Since yesterday, there seems to have been an outbreak of some new disease. More than half the town have taken to shuffling through the streets like the undead. They all sweat profusely and seem to shake uncontrollably. I've even seen some fall in the streets with seizures. Paranoia and confusion reign. Please send advice.

Yours, Ismark
