Tragedy strikes the Blood o' the Vine, as a knight-errant wearing black and white, a long flowing hood and a cloak, bearing numerous symbols of Ezra, appeared and began to slay various patrons seeking respite from the day's work. The adventurers and outlanders frequenting the Vine, such as Pavel the Upright, along with the more resilient patrons, such as Cezar Vatralau (who claims to have repelled the creature), appear to be alive yet wounded. If pressed, they would say without certainty that the "holy man" was some sort of vampire.
Bray Martikova, the bartender, lies unconscious, though he appears for the most part stable. Viviana, the local entertainment, lies on the ground, two puncture wounds in her neck (likely the work of elongated fangs). Her face is pale, showing all the signs of a vampire bite.
Without a doubt, the village of Barovia, a town already slowly dying and being eaten away at, has suffered much this day. The Barovian people make gestures against evil as they pass by the tavern they once thought was safe.
