((I think I laughed my way through the last two pages.))

Karl hums a drinking tune to himself, the dragonborn's predictiment putting him in an oddly cheerful mood.

Don't worry, Nadarr, if we get accosted by bandits we might be able to find you a new pair of pants." he says in a comforting fashion.

((We're going to have xxFUN!xx if Karl ever catches on that you're a vampire as well, Aurel. :p

Oh, and leave it to Karl to get everything arranged? Bah, hope we don't get attacked in the next day.))

Karl pays for meals for however many people eat instead of getting drunk and passing out immediately from his own funds, then leaves and returns with the horse and cart, stabling it behind the inn. When the innkeeper presses him on the issue of mounts, he agrees that he would like one, but the rest will need to make up their own minds.

Property safe, he eats his meal and settles into a chair near the stairs up to take up the first (and given how quickly people went to bed) and only watch.

Karl growls away the pain of the blow, feinting at the woman in front of him as Bouchart moves up to attack her. "I know that you deluded fools are anathema to the Raven Queen. Embrace the cold eternity of true death, vampire!"

Karl roars as he lowers his shoulder and barrels into the woman nearest to him, triggering the magic of the short sword. "For the Raven Queen! Die, heretic!"

((Minor: Divine Challenge on K1
Standard: Charge on K1, activating the Vanguard power of the short sword.))

Karl drops behind the others for a moment and draws the short sword quietly, and uses his cloak to keep it hidden with his arm at his side. Armed, he returns to the front of the group and returns the grey-cloaked figure's stare defiantly.

"Is the man in grey glaring at us who we're looking for?" Karl murmurs to Aurel, scanning the crowd for more of this heretical family.

Karl looks blankly at Aurel and strokes the handle of his sword. "Different churches each have their own beliefs. Forgive me if I consider this family heretics against the Raven Queen and enjoy purging them from this land."

((When checking the two red cloaks, do a religion check and some crude autopsy work to look for signs of undeath. Probably use mine, since Symon didn't leave any of his left.))

"The ones who ambushed Symon, Grot and myself were interested in Aurel's location."

((I think we get 1 per day because we're heroes, plus an extra per two encounters... and yes, we're split up and they're beefy, so I'm going to spend mine quickly.))

((Minor Action: Switch from vanguard's short sword +1 to longsword.
Minor Action: Divine Challenge on the closest target.
Standard Action: Shielding Smite on the closest target, buff Symon with the AC bonus
(Bonus) Standard Action: Holy Strike on the closest target.))
