Cathern looks at the doll like she's seen a ghost. (Did the doll speak aloud?)

"After we get a Nights rest we need to find someone named  Cynog Pumphrey at the Mermaid’s Arms" Cat says out of the blue then asks the doll nervously "Who are you?" she says being the type that's willing to help a just cause in her own way.

(I assume by this point we're headed back to whatever Inn we stayed at last time.)

Idoza lofts a brow back at Cat. "I.. That is a most curious proposition, and one worthy of further elaboration, yes?" She said with a look of concern growing on her face. Her eyes then go to the doll as a temptation to see to its destruction looms in the back of her mind. Yet seeing a lack immediate insistence out of Cat to hit up the place, she stayed her hand for the moment. Although now a more wary eye is kept on both in the journey back to the inn.

Piers takes a step back as well, looking a bit frantic. “D-did the doll… tell you? His tone seems unsure that it’s even possible, but the odd doll was so mysterious that he didn’t rule it out completely. “Huh. We’ll, if we have time tomorrow, after doing the stuff we need to do for the manor, we can definitely start on that.”

On a hunch she says to Idoza "Is that spell you did still going? Maybe the enchantments changed"

She then says "This doll's been around for a long time. The manor used to be an orphanage," she sighs sadly "More of a trap made by a hag till one of the the orphans unmasked her." She debates her choice of covenanting the doll but it did have important information. "The orphans, neighbors and the greyhands vanquished her thinking they killed her." she decides to put the doll in her backpack so she doesn't have to touch it. "Anyway, a person named Lif opened the manor is a tavern and inn about thirty years ago. There were two siblings that served and entertained,  Rey and Varko Teabrook. And a man named Cynog Pumphrey who fixed things and served as a bouncer. The doll told me that things were good till Lif accidently stumbled into the hags  demiplane and was murdered by the hag’s final atrocity, three undead children trapped there as guardians. Pumphrey  He's the only one I think we can access with ease at the moment cause the citywatch got involved. You know how they are... They suspect everyone. So the Teabrook's went home to the Lowhills, and this Pumphrey, well he works at the Dock Wards Mermaid Arms."

Tears stream down her face at the thought of being victimized by someone pretending to care for you only to eat you.

"I, it said the hag still lives!"

(Whew!)

Drux let’s a soft whistle sound. “Well, that sure takes the cake. Nothing like a new home gift. If this is truly the situation, we should definitely get a solid rest and start early in the morning. It sounds like it could be a heavy start to be sure.”

"I wonder who Lif was? A halfling? It almost sounded like the brothers were" She thinks on the names 20history

ooc: she don't know much about history, she don't know much about biology da da da dah da da dah 

"For a time longer, and it hasn't changed." Idoza had readily replied, as she at that point been regarding the doll with some lingering concern. Although her attention soon shifted back up to Cat as she wove the tale. At the end of which Idoza just... sighed and pinched the massaged the bridge of her nose for a bit. By the time she looked up again, rather than appearing sad or angry, the cleric looked more world weary than anything.

"I'll need to do a thorough sweep of the place in the morning once we have the keys. With any luck, any crossing remaining will at least be detectable with Tyr's grace. And if not... hopefully Pumphrey can shed some light on things." She said, screwing her face back into a more determined look as the group close on their destination. But then in a side long glance to Cat, she wraps her in a supporting side hug for at least the duration of the trip or until Cat seemed to calm, if only for the moment. 

(I'm all for continuing the narrative but we have some needs that should be taken care of and would wisely do so before we make it to the bar.)

On the way there "You know, I think I'll leave the doll in the basement tonight with a bucket over it." Also on the way there having given up on dividing the treasure so she guesses that they will spend it together on what they need."
"I think if we pass by a place that sells armor. We should stop. I need some studded leather."

At the Mermaid's Arms

Cat approaches the bar she gives her best smile at the man "I'll have an Ale."

Piers walks alongside Cat, shivering at the thought. "Might need more than a bucket; it showed up in our dreams. Since it looks to be possessed I think the most we can do is try and solve this mystery."

When they reach the bar, he steps up. "I'll pass on an ale, maybe pay for someone else who wants it, but there's someone we happen to be looking for. A 'Cynog Pumphrey'. Apparently he works here; have you seen him?"

Cathern gives Piers a raised eyebrow for being so, straightforward.
