Curse of Strahd Solo Run (IC)

[RandomWombat]

"Going," the elf responds, taking a step down the other side of the hill. She slips again and goes sliding down, rolling through the grass at the bottom. With a groan, she gets back up and wipes some of the ooze off of her arms in disgust. "What is this?" she asks tiredly, and it's not clear if she's speaking to anyone, or just to herself as she continues to force herself forward.

It is a long walk through the dreary field. The ambient light begins to fade, the sunset carrying an eerie blue or purple tinge instead of the warm pinks, ambers and oranges of the sun setting over the sea. It appears that they had the misfortune to arrive near dusk. Ahead of them there is the flickering light of a small campfire, and two of the hunters with their bows drawn.

"Hold on. Hold on!" one of the hunters raises his shortbow, though he doesn't draw back his arrow yet. "Creature. What are you?"

The second hunter looks towards the elf, narrowing his glaring, suspicious eyes. "A female duskie? Thought the King killed them all."

"What... is a duskie?" she responds, her club dragging behind her as she steps up beside Kellon.

"The ears!" the second hunter points at her head. "You've the sharp ears. Like the duskies, the nighteyes."

No sign can be seen of the third hunter, the one called Andri. But behind the campfire is an old road, barely a worn dirt path where many people have walked. It stretches from the east to the west - the cardinal directions finally having become clear along with the direction of sunset.

Also, not sure if the roll20 link in the OOC thread works without a game invite, so here is one.
