Charred grass and droplets of blood reveal a scene of conflict near the wall. The stench of sewer lingers over the area as talk of a Caliban lugging two corpses out of the well in broad daylight spread. The trip to sanctuary was cut short by the Garda. Angry and proud, the Caliban decided to give the interaction an explosive end before retreating back into the well.

Balthazaar the Executioner, the hulking headsman in the Count's service, passes through Vallaki's western gates. In his charge is a chained woman in tattered dress, the accent to her plaintive sobs marking her as Gundarakite. The city's locals take pains to avoid scrutinizing either His Excellency's servant or the bruised and bleeding woman, drawing closed their shutters a little earlier in the day than they otherwise might. The two figures vanish behind the gates of the Citadel.

At dusk a cloaked figure would exit the city gates and place a small wreath near the makeshift memorial.  The figure would stay for a while before heading South.

A brightly dressed young Vistani man in purple and gold atop a fine black horse is seen escorting a herd of lost-looking rich types into the Outskirts. He is seen leaving them by the Lady's Rest Inn before galloping into the city and finding solitude in some dull Inn in the slums...

Danut Solinescu, the wandering Morninglordian, can be seen removing corpses from the Church and interring them in the crypts out back. A prayer of blessing was placed upon the mausoleum in hopes the dead would find their final rest.

A pyre burned in the night behind the Sanctuary of the Coming Dawn. In the morning all that was left was a pile of soot and ash.

The Vallaki Garda are seen to be at heightened tension after many of their own were slain west of the city. Several barricades have been erected outside of the gatehouse, and a Private Bengescu is seen putting up wanted posters throughout Vallaki.

A ginger Tepestani woman pinned a parchment on the tree in front of Lady's Resting Place, then she walks to the east with a Darkonese man clad in plate armor.

[The other day, starting on the dawn of the Twelfth of November, the Lady's Rest was not just teeming, but stuffed to the gills with patrons and onlookers. The basement had become decorated with a plethora of strange and macabre ornaments and art pieces, from wooden skeletons to a carving of a ghoul to a small shrine detailing the Ezrite rendition of the receding of the dead at the beginning of Darkon's history. Adventurers, townsfolk, and suspicious types alike flooded the inn's basement dressed in monstrous costumes to mingle, dance, and celebrate the Darkonian holiday, the Festival of the Dead. Midway through the celebrations, one of the performers was accosted by the garda and refused arrest. This led to him being beaten by several guards before having his head crushed to a pulp by the tavern's bouncer, Radu himself. This created an awkward lull in the night, which was thankfully salvaged by several events which followed the gruesome event. By dawn, the partygoers slowly trickled out of the basement and into the waking countryside either to further their adventures, enjoy the morning air, or depart from Barovia now that the mountain passes had thawed enough.]

Among many others, a small oxcart arrived in Vallaki today. The hackman was a couple of heads shorter than an ordinary man, and wore a deep cowl. In the wagon itself were three figures more, all bundled in blankets: two small children, and a Barovian man attending to them. The little ones looked quite thin and anxious.
The wagon trundled towards the Residential District, and after, to the Warehouse District, sans cargo.
It is not an ending, but an ebbing.
