Met with Escher at Lady Watcher‘s house. Had tea, discussed wedding, reiterated need to get necklace from Berez from Dilbraxus’ misdeeds.
Learned Dilbraxus split his soul and has done this a few times.
Tasked with getting emblem from Paladin of Tyr (Escher’s friend) at Argynvasthold. Itkovian gave Escher emblem from fallen soldier to Escher as trade.

Escher told us that Strahd is invulnerable until the Gem of Sorrow is destroyed, but Strahd will know as soon as someone goes for it. Suggested we get allies to go to it from the service corridor through the courtyard.

Met with Kasimir(Cashmere). He will meet us at fork in pathway to Argynvasthold the next day and will wait for a day and a night for us.

Itkovian dropped off letter from Rudolph van Richten (Rictavio) for Esmerelda at Kazan’s Tower.
It looks like Esmerelda is gearing up for war.
Took two vials of gunpowder from pile and gave to Wally Wizzbang.

Two heads on stakes (Berk and Tully) at bridge to Krezk. Heads that look like twins are shouting at each other. Cursed by hag Jenny Greenteeth. They asked the hag for a spell, asked to grab silver comb. Arguing at bridge about keeping comb, comb stolen by crow.

Overnight Rake sees big (house size) winged creature flying overhead and Tonnin saw brief storm winds brew up.

Itkovian received mechanical frog from Landon in Wally’s hat.
