- see Clementine’s dead body
- go on to coffin maker’s shop
- Henrik is not there. find bag of money, all with Strahd von Zarovich‘s visage
- found a receipt of 6 large crates by one Vassili von Holtz
- realize they are being spied on by Ernst

- guards said they would have to stake everyone before mass burial
- Lady Fiona Wachter is ambitious. wants to overthrown Baron Vargas Vallakovich

- Stella was to be engaged to Victor, Baron’s son, until their magic made her crazy. she now thinks she’s a cat
- Lady Wacther says more about Izek, but my notes made no sense.
- says to take out Izek and she can handle rest. return at nightfall to get a poison Ernst will arrange to have for them to use to take out Izek
- go back to Baron’s house. search for clues for both Ireena as well as missing servants, the Butler Andre and Nyanca the Lady’s Maid
- bathroom, hallways, kitchen areas, etc. not much has interest
- one room looks to be a vanity room, has large mirror and wedding dress in it. both are spotless, obviously cleaned often

- Baroness is all lonely, still waiting for adventurers to come downstairs and they never ever will
- go back to church. ask Father Lucian about his sister, the baroness
- he says Baron makes her nervous, to the point that she’s developed a nervous tic of laughter to cope with his ALL WILL BE WELL madness
- Lucian sends Milivoj to fetch Wilemina, the wife of Udo
- Zach sent little boy townsfolk to fetch Lady Wachter. Paloma paid the boy.
- Karl Wachter comes to church, says Lady cannot be summoned.
