[ Look, you run into Strahd von Zarovich enough times that even the stare of Mister Too Much Cutlery pales in comparison. Intense as that look is, Declan just kind of quirks a brow and moves on to explain without issue. ]
My friends and I are stuck in a rather… hostile environment. A place under the control of a vampire lord who has more or less fashioned himself into a god. We stand opposed to him, so you can imagine he and his minions aren’t very fond of that.
[ A... vampire lord? And what is that, exactly? Knives can't quite picture what it is that Declan is attempting to describe, though he can perhaps relate to the "fashioned himself into a god" part. Maybe that's enough of a reference point on its own. Especially when "minions" come into it as well.
Not that feels particularly godlike right now, standing in this dark kitchen, having to eat food, with the reminder of his mortality still pressed into his neck in a ring of bruises. (Partially healed though they might be, now.) ]
An outlier. [ Aren't they always? His eyes narrow. ] And you plan to defeat this... vampire lord? Do you truly think it possible?
[ Yes, surely none of Strahd’s whole deal sounds familiar to Knives. That would just be absurd! Declan has no idea he’s lost the man – he’s just kind of used to everyone where he’s from at least having heart stories of the things that go bump in the night – and Knives doesn’t ask for clarification, so… ]
Yes, and yes. Though not without a lot of work. My companions and I have been trying to strip him of his power bit by bit for a while now. It’s only a matter of time before confrontation is inevitable, and it’s my hope that we can meet him on more… even footing than all others who have tried before.

The angel was an outlier.
