Well...I don't think the rest of you need to roll stealth, seeing as the figure is furiously polishing a teacup
Theo, leading the way, sneaks his way up the stairs. Even though his stealth skills are slightly out of use, due to being able to walk free through the campus. Which is quite a refresher after much time spent hiding in the dimly lit shadows.
Does the rest of the party follow?

Ooboron makes frantic motions toward the opposite direction and the fact that it looks like a clear and obstacle-free path, but as Theo continues to the right, the loxodon resolves to be brave and does his best to follow behind silently, not wanting to go on his own or for Theo to go on his own.
Elsenia follows along behind Ooboron. Having grown up in a world of shadows, she is accustomed to blending in with them when the need arises. She makes no noise as she climbs the stairs.
You wind your way up the stairs, being careful to be silent, lest the smartly dressed creature spot you. You come out atop the landing, and see that the wide hallway offers access to the rooms on the second level of the manor. A large pillar jut into the passageway and doors line the corridor.

This post has potentially manipulated dice roll results.
Elsenia moves to examine the pillar, checking it for anything unusual. Maybe there's a hidden button, she thinks, suddenly excited. This is starting to feel like something out of a mystery novel.
Though all of you spot it, Theo's keen beastfolk eyes spot it first: a hidden door set into the large pillar. With a small paw, he pushes it open, and it reveals a circular staircase within the wall, which leads up into shadow.

You make your way up the stairs, until you come out of the landing to find you have found the attic!
This cramped attic holds oddities considered too strange to display on the manor’s main floor. An adult-sized riding toy resembling a roc on a spring, a fine dress with wings made of bones, and a display shelf holding dozens of dolls are among the curiosities here. Among the dolls on the display shelf is the target of your quest—the pink-haired doll known as Sassy Sally Jane.
You have done it!

Weaver looks around, eyes narrowed. "I dunno, seems too easy - lemme see if we're missing something...."and she breaks out a set of multi-lens goggles with different armatures, looking around the room with the effect of a Detect Magic spell.
Ooboron can't help himself and begins walking around the attic examining the oddities. When he hears Weaver express concern that all might not be as it seems, the loxodon stops in his tracks and waits for the fairy's assessment of the situation.
Weaver looks around, and notices most of the things here are at least faintly magical. The dress in particular seems to be enchanted with some sort of charm.
Does Theo grab the doll?

"Weaver's right," says Elsenia, starting to feel uneasy. "Maybe this really is a trap."
As Theo goes to grab the doll, the druid bites her lip. She doesn't move to stop him, but she has a sudden fear of what might happen when he touches the doll.

Yes, Theo grabs the doll and hopefully we can get the heck out =)

Theo grabs the doll, and nothing happens. The tension in his fingers squeezes the thing, and it starts talking, like promised, which makes everyone jump "Do they even have showers here? Because you sure haven't taken one". Nothing else happens though. you are home free.

Weaver follows, and starts looking around for doors or ladders that might lead to an attic.
Is there a sign of additional stairs going up? Maybe an attic pulldown?
