Norzak isn't too picky and eats whatever everyone else doesn't, taking a big plate. He knows that Jon will probably eat some of what he doesn't. The lad has had a large appetite since he's known him and now, since he has this lycanthropy nonsense he is even hungrier it seems. It's too bad he couldn't feed his shdow, or could he?

Looking at Dorgio he asks him "Hey Dorgio, what der me shadow need ta survive in terms o sustenance? Darkness?"

"Ay Al ,yer spells helped us mighty fine, by tha way. I hope I helped yer in guidin yer spells ta hit that undead Rider feller. Now I was wonderin, where kin we fin' us some hemlock ta really kill us that bitch fer good?"

Turning to Jon, he says "Hey lad, I dun think I'll eat all this, take some o it, it'll do yer some good, k?"

After doling out stew to Alain and the others,
Wat asks his friends-

''Are you going back to the Witch-Hold? Do you truly mean to confront Her again?''

"Well if'n we kin fin' us some hemlock ta finish her, why not?" Is what Norzak responds to Wat.

''Hemlock? That is not hard to find.''

"I am not knowing what it would eat. There was a man in the old country," he told Norzak, recalling one of his father's tales, "He had a shadow much like yours. he could do more, they said, could foil the luck of others or call the night to cover his trail. But these things, they are not simple creatures. His own shadow was his undoing. They say it made a deal with the Devil Strahd--the darkness knows its own. The man, his body was not even casting a shadow when they hoisted him on the gibbet."

Wat wrote:''Are you going back to the Witch-Hold? Do you truly mean to confront Her again?''

Dorgio tears off a hunk of smoked meat, then takes a swig of palinka. "We must. Even if we were not wanting to, she would not be stopping now." He scowls at the damage around Wat's cabin. "You have suffered much for our sake."

"Sounds like this Devil-Strahd is worst then this Witch-Bitch. Mebbe one day we go and take care of this Devil person."

''May good fortune be with us all, Dorgio. It will be no easy thing to face her again in her wrath, methinks.''

Wat finishes his meal. He goes to the the back room where he wipes his teeth clean with some soft bark and then rinses his mouth with fresh water. Returning to the front room, he crawls under a doeskin and announces-

''The night is warm, I'm full of stew...time to sleep. At least we don't have the Rider-In-Iron to haunt us now. Good night to you all, friends.''

Cirdan, limbing behind the others, can, for the first time since the group ever entered this shadowy land, heard to be laughing.

Well, his laughter sounds a tad bit hysterical, but at least he's in a good mood...

He gives a sardonic smile upon hearing this and Cirdan's accompanying laughter. "The knight and I, we may disagree on religious grounds, but neither of us have any love for Devil Strahd. Your king, I am told, is not fond of him either, but that is another matter altogether. But yes, I am desiring to see the Devil burn." Behind the bluster, there is something in Dorgio's eyes when he speaks of Strahd. Whatever it is, it is not courage.

Dorgio then attends to his comrades, healing them with his prayers as best he can. He considers staying up, keeping watch, but his body and mind reel from the boar, the liquor, the pain, and the fear. "Jon," he manages to say before falling asleep. "Be wary."

Bennedict arches an eyebrow in alarm, but refrains from commenting.

Full of stew and satisfied to finally have a certain direction for their efforts (and also having not slept the night before) Bennedict settles in much like Wat for an evening's rest.

Wat's cabin, the next morning

The remainder of the night has passed peacefully, and you were all able to get a good amount of sleep.

Norzak makes breakfast: acorn mash cooked into a sticky mass of gruel with blackberries in the mix. He first serves those still bruised and battered from last night's battle:

''I'm don't have magic like Benn or Dorgio, to heal your hurts -but maybe a little warm breakfast will help.''

Café de Nuit

Welcome, friends, to our establishment.
