Kai looks to the painting with Torvus before frowning. "It may be possible Rose and Thorn never saw the baby other than on occasions? Thorn mentioned he heard baby crying but did not directly say it was a sibling. It doesn't seem that the mother is very fond of the child either..." Kai looks away in thought, pushing up her glasses and mutteribg under her breath. "Maybe not as devoted as they first appear.... Men..." There's a slight roll of ththe eyes as she smile and looks around the room.

The suits of armor catch Benito's interest. He [skill]investigation[skill] the suits of armor, to see if perhaps they have some kind of crest that would mean they were nobles of any sort. Also he wonders if the suit of armor fits him, or at least whether the helm fits him.
Kayla looks up at the painting and wonders that the painter included that touch of disapproval from the wife. Most people wanted their portraits to... gloss over inconvenient realities. A wart or wrinkle smoothed, a dress more finely made than they really had or even beatific smiles where only disdain remained. Shaking her head, she follows Benito to help him look over the armor. Would it fit the paladin?
The kids in the painting does look like the kids you met in the street. The armors were not fitted for Goliaths, but you can take one and try to get it adjusted to your size.
(OOC: Does the baby in the painting look like it's related to Rose and Thorn? Is it monstrous or obviously not human in some way? Is there any evidence in the painting that suggests why the mother would regard it with scorn?)
Kai looks around quietly, getting a layout of how many's doors are in this room to decide which to travel through first. She looks to Bukowyr. "Mind checking these doors and things for traps? I don't think these suits of armor will fit you Benito. It is best to leave them. They are someone else's things."

Trying to get ahead of his companions before they inadvertently set off some trap, Bukowyr enters the small bedroom to inspect it's floor and the walls for whatever catches his attention.
Trying to get ahead of his companions before they inadvertently set off some trap, Bukowyr enters the small bedroom to inspect it's floor and the walls for whatever catches his attention.
Investigation19
Bukowyr goes carefully into the room making sure that it doesn't hold a trap or anything that would harm him or his party. The room was safe and he was also able to find the other end of the dumbwaiter. The bedroom also holds a small closet room with tidy servants’ uniforms hanging from hooks.
"Kai, Kayla...there is something here in the closet both of you might want to try on..." the Svirfneblin calls for the ladies while proceeding to the dumbwaiter and examining it for details on the identities of whoever lived in this house. Also for something that might help him and his companions.

Kai moves to look into the closet before rolling her eyes with an amused smile. "Servent outfits? You wish Bukowyr." Kai moves to look around the closet for anything else while using a free hand to open her canteen of water, raising a small ball of water to throw at Bukowyr playfully, pretending it wasn't her.

"I will save those for a more appropriate moment." - smirking, Bukowyr packs the suits while letting his mind wander about the clues found so far. "What if this place is actually the beast's den? Nothing related to the family and the way they lived seems to have been distorted or corrupted. It is all strangely normal. Too well kept. A stranger would not leave this place untainted, right? The memories in this place are being guarded. Why such effort put into it?" - again, catching himself speaking his thoughts out loud, to no one in particular, he turns to silent thoughts once again.
Kai looks at Bukowyr with an amused look, offering Kayla a sneaky high five as Kai steps back to the middle of the room and watches Bukowyr. "There is something strange about the untouched house. Although it is possible that the beast has been stuck to one floor. Although the items seem weirdly untouched and perfectly tidy. We shouldn't mess with anything that we don't need to..." Part of her statement is to Bukowyr packing the servant outfits and part is in general.
(I meant hand sized water to just soak your hair but a completely soaked Bukowyr is also amusing. XD)
Kai can't help but let out an amused laugh as she looks Bukowyr over with a slightly amused look. She looks to Kayla and rolls her eyes with a smile at what she assumes to be the Gnomes attempts to flirt with them before she returns to sketching out rooms.

Kayla stifles her giggles at the wet deep gnome. Maid's uniforms? Really?
"Hmm, perhaps you would better appreciate the change of clothes?" Kayla teases and then shakes her head. "Or perhaps Torvus has aPrestidigitation?"
Torvus snorts. "Perhaps we should continue focusing our efforts on perusing this horrid place, rather than relegating me to the magical equivalent of a scullery maid. I'll thank you to clean your own clothes!"

Benito moves towards the foot of the bed in the bedroom.

Would it fit the paladin?
Perception 8
It was too difficult for her to tell with the armor arranged only on a display.
"Benito, do you think you should try the armor on? The house owes us better protection while we go through its games, at least."
The kids in the painting does look like the kids you met in the street. The armors were not fitted for Goliaths, but you can take one and try to get it adjusted to your size.
You don't perceive anything magical.
(OOC: Does the baby in the painting look like it's related to Rose and Thorn? Is it monstrous or obviously not human in some way? Is there any evidence in the painting that suggests why the mother would regard it with scorn?)
Everything in the painting looks human, but yes the woman is regarding it with scorn.

Kayla high fives Kai with a grin.
"The whole house reminds me of setting in a play. Too perfect, like you said. Perhaps that is what it is- a stage," Kayla considers.
