This post has potentially manipulated dice roll results.
Their ghosts were so cute when they asked us for help outside. It just makes it that much sadder to see their little corpses. This place kind of sucks.
After the others have spent some time in the room without anything popping out at them, Barnaby feels safe enough to have a look around in the room.
Kif and Puddin crouch at the dollhouse, and immediately see the similarity between it and the house you are now in. The layout is the same, and as you look more closely, you see figures moving a bit in one of the tiny attic rooms. It's you! Miniature versions of all of you, including even the wolf cub, in the attic of the dollhouse.
Fope studies the skeletal remains of the children, gently fingering their tattered garments.
After a moment, Ireena and Barnaby, watching from the doorway, see two spectral figures appear over the children's bodies. You immediately recognize the phantasms as the children themselves, looking down at the adventurers who have entered their room. They are barely visible, and are dressed as you saw them outside. Their features are drawn, and they are mostly transparent.
The child ghosts sway slightly as they hover in the room. You sense that they may be about to speak or do some other thing. You have only had moments to look at the dollhouse; you are mindful that it may bear further study.
Rose, Thorn, do you remember us. You asked us to help you with the monster in the basement, do you remember that? Do you know where you are, do you know what happened?
Føpé does no such thing. He is however eager to examine the dollhouse to look for a way down to the basement, and also as a way to explore rooms not yet covered, if there are any. He will also experiment with the dollhouse to see if it can effect the real house, by opening and closing the the doll house door of the room that they're in. He will wait to do these things until the interaction with the ghost children concludes.
Rose looks at Kif and answers, while Thorn slowly approaches Fope, who is still bent over the dollhouse.
We are not outside. We are in our room. Our parents left us in here, many many years ago. They locked us in here, for our own safety, they said. They locked us in here often, but this time they did not come back. We starved to death, here on the floor, holding hands. You see now that the skeletal remains may very well have been holding hands, in death. She looks dolefully at her brother, who is creeping up on Fope. She turns back to Kif. Where did you come from?
Also, Barnaby now can move Fope's token.

Kif enters the room and looks more closely about

How fresh do the skeletons look, the guy swinging from the rope downstairs was pretty fresh
Dave has no control over any roll20 icons, BTW
Kif must have a face full of cobwebs
since the rest of the party is somewhat aphasic I'm going to move into the room and look more closely a the toy chest and the doll house
1 that's investigation +3 if you want perception
Sorry for the delay. I've never felt so aphasic in my life. :~P
Investigation: 22
Oh, the poor little bubbies. Barnaby wipes a tear from the corner of his eye.
Fope will investigate, but also will go in and percept...

Ok, a couple of things are going to happen.
And you'll find out tomorrow!

Barnaby quickly looks up for specters above.

do we see miniature spectral figures appear in the dollhouse?
Oh, I see I thought we saw them in the doll house, but we saw them in real life. :o
Roll a fresh perception check on the dollhouse.
14 percepting
You do not see anything moving in the dollhouse, or any creatures at all, other than Ireena, the wolf cub, and your party.
The child ghosts sway slightly as they hover in the room. You sense that they may be about to speak or do some other thing. You have only had moments to look at the dollhouse; you are mindful that it may bear further study.
What do you do?
Rose, Thorn, do you remember us. You asked us to help you with the monster in the basement, do you remember that? Do you know where you are, do you know what happened?
That's right kids. We're here to help you, here to set things right in your family home. We're going to the basement to get rid of the monster.

Fope, roll an Investigation check.
