Alexander takes a swing at the Hag with his longsword - Attack: 11 Damage: 10
Vaalu moves herself infront of Ireena, blocking her and taking the full spray of the ice shards, although she barely feels it. Vaalu then takes a couple swings wither her hatchets at the Hag, and with a surge of energy shakes off the effects of the Ray.
Ireena, appreciating Vaalu's protection, and stabs around her at the Hag. - Attack: 15 Damage: 5
The Hag up on the second floor of the windmill will call out to the rest of her coven, "Aarrg, this isn't going our way sisters, let's regroup at the temple!" and that Hag vanishes.
The one down on the ground hears this and vanishes as well.
Vaalu heavily for a few moments before eventually letting out one big huff. "Troublesome Fey."She looks to Ireena next, and gives sharp nod. "Thank you, Ireena. But do me a favor. Check on the others."She says, then turns to looking around for any tracks, or scent of the hag having truly disappeared, and not just run off while invisibility. "Ismark! Are you alright?" She calls out to him at one point.
Survival: 19. (advantage from Hunter's Mark - Duration 1 Hour. Intending on maintaining it until the hour is up.)

Ismark calls from the wagon, "I'm fine, are you all okay? Where'd that witch go?"
Vaalu you don't see any tracks leading from the spot she was standing, and you can't smell her anymore, you think she has teleported away, and is not just invisible.
Ireena heads upstairs to check on Alexander, Anders and Brom, "What's happening, are they all gone?"
Vaalu shakes her head, brushing off Ismark question for at least one more round of canvasing the immediate area around the windmill. "Just a scratch. I will be fine, Ismark. And I not know where unless..."She stops her absent-minded looking around to approach him and say, "Do you know anything of any nearby sacred groves? Mmn... Temples, as Faron just said."She kind of grins at the windmill where the call came from, if not Faron himself having roamed outside.
“Vaalu!” Nylin squeaks with a haste as he makes his way over to her, ”I hope I didn’t hurt you to much, dreadfully sorry about the ice, but I see you have an arcane wit about you aye’.”
Nylin will look around inside whilst the others get their bearings.
Vaalu smiles and shakes her head. "Not arcane. More.... Nature Blessing. Closer to of spark divine."She explained. And after hearing of children trapped, she more than eagerly steps up to head on inside. "Not Cromes. Dark Mothers. Or in this and most tongues. Hags. We will need to be more watchful, I think. Or be cursed to death in sleep."She states. Once they reach the children, Vaalu wisely keeps her distance to avoid scaring them over much if they are conscious. But, she will fidget from time to time. "I break cage? Or did they leave key?"

When you look upstairs to the third floor you can see there is some of the old windmill machinery that the Hags had been turning by hand, as well as some beds on one end of the room.
On the other side of the room there is an unconscious young boy in a cage, and near another empty cage is a young girl who is crying, and whose arms and legs are bound up with ropes.
Vaalu is only willing to wait so long. Seeing the young girl crying with her limbs bound eventually drove her to go to the young girl. Ignoring any sudden pleads of concern, she drew the girl up to her bossom, and began making little chirp and whistles; both were beautiful in their own way, yet gentle and out of place coming from the giantess. "It is okay for now. You calm now. Caretaker here. Won't let Dark Mothers take again."She consoles, as she shifts onto her bottom now to rest the child on her lap, and make it easier for at least her to start unbinding her.

Faron - The cage is locked with a simple latching mechanism that is unreachable from inside the cage but easily opened from the outside.
Vaalu holds the young girl, trying to calm her down, as Ireena and Ismark run in, shocked to see the bound children.
Ireena comes over quickly and kneels beside Vaalu, "By the gods I know these children! They're from Barovia!"
Ismark holds up some loose clothes laying on the ground, "These clothes don't look like they fit those children, I think there were other children here..."
Vaalu nods faintly, and takes care as she rubbed the girl's head to keep her ears muffled just long enough to say something. "Yes. They were probably part of bargain." Vallu looks first to Ireena, and then to the clothes in Ismark's hands. "Or worse."She grimaces. "Be careful of what you touch around here. The Dark Mothers keep strange fetishes. Dark and twisted and cursed things."She turns her attention back to the girl. After freeing the girl, she turned to slowly rocking her in her arms, and pay no further mind to the others in the room. But after awhile, and everyone has had a chance to turn over the place more thoroughly for clues about a temple, she says, "We should get going soon. Still have long road ahead. Take children to someplace safer."

Faron
Faron will open the cage, take out the unconscious boy and inspect him for further damage.
Medicine: 9
If he seems ok, Faron carries him downstairs laying him down on the wagon. Then when the boy is taking care off, he heads back to search for further clues.
Vaalu follows none too far behind Faron with the girl unbound and wrapped up in her arms. She refused however to set the girl down once they reached the wagon until Faron's brought back up the hags. Frowning, she pecks her once on the forehead before setting her down inside. "They do. But 'less you found something inside about their temple. Most we can do is burn place down, and continue on way for now. Little Nylin. If you could help make it full with magic without risking surrounding forests?"She asks.

You take the children out to the wagon and check them over, the boy eventually regains consciousness and they let you know that they are indeed from Barovia. They were given to the hags in exchange for some of their magical pastries by their parents and beg you not to take them back to Barovia. Ireena and Vaalu comfort them and Ireena asks Ismark if you can all take them with you to Vallaki, which he agrees to.
Brom is unable to find any tracks, its as if the hags were transported to another place, Brom can sense a strange hum when standing in the spots where they vanished from. Anders, Alexander and Faron take a look around the windmill and don't find anything useful, but it appears that the Hags have had several children here in the past and possibly used them to make their strange pastries.
"If everyone is ready to get moving, we should set this mill ablaze and get to town as soon as we can." Brom says as he is feeling increasingly less comfortable staying in this place for this long and the hags are still on the loose.
