1st floor - sarcophogus with queen's effigy - barovian appearance - no name - no birds - turned into a wine cabinet inside - one stoppered decanter - one unopened wine - champagne du le stomp - percy takes both plus a mostly whole glass

in the same room - "My knights have fallen into Darkness. Save them if you can. Show them the light that they have lost."

found a dusk elf in the kitchen - savid - looking for arabelle, missing for several days. was attacked by a mob of twigs and trees and ran until he found shelter in argynvost - said he hadn't seen the label of c du le s in years - 100 years or more - has been working with the vistani for "quite some time" - vistani know the paths to travel in and out of barovia, which is why many people don't trust them

savid on strahd - he destroyed this order on royalty - families have taken different roles since strahd's family on the order - gave shelter to refugees that came to the valley to escape strahd's armies on tsolenka pass - not terribly far from here. any towers there or at my ghakis? not at mt ghakis but TP itself is kind of a tower maybe - TP is a road, a way into the mtns. it is a structure that crosses over the luna river on the mage of the mountain - only knows story we know curse - doesn't know, heard many stories - often only the one who is cursed knows the origin and parameters mother night - not a religious figure but part of the myths

tower on the first floor - mural of metallic dragons and colorful birds flying beneath white clouds

second floor - behind a curtain in a small alcove, a magical statue under a cloth - bell's severed, decaying head - dispel magic reveals the bust of a handsome man with a neatly-trimmed moustache and beard - we haven't seen the face before

mausoleum - white marble door - etched into the far wall in draconic - "here lie the bones and treasures of argynvost, lord of argynvostholt and founder of the order of the silver dragon"
