Notes

Arriving in Brovaria Corvus immidetly tries to steal from a local shop, howerve the shop owner is very rude charging very high prices so most of the party let it slide.
the party also buy some 'cheep' magic items from a crazy back alley store clerk. Corcus buys a ice ring, Kain buys a tornado in a bottle.

The party meet Irrina's brother in a bar and berate him, he seems pretty weak and Corvus isn't a fan.

The party explore a nearby charge where they find a prist who has trapped their turned son in the basement. the party free the son and end up killing both the priest and the son out of some misguided mercy.
Ben thinks there is a way to save the turned son but Corvus disagrees, with the rest of the party abstaining Corvus uses the kill to man up his son Xander….and fails

they start thier journey to the manor were they fight off some dire wolves and encounter Straud for the first time, Corvus tries to fight thrash while the rest of the party bring the tension of the encounter down. but during the fight the party realise that Corvus's son Xander is no where to be found.
They camp in the manor overnight where Irina tells the party of her father.
