Kessintra frowns curiously as she regards the portraits, turning to the others and pointing at the different portrait. "This one seems strange somehow, but I can't put my finger on why. What do you think?"
"Perhaps adopted? Or without heirs, thus killing the rest of the line?" muses Chipper. He walks over to the portrait and tries tilting it, seeing if that unveils anything.
Not after you've already rolled. Razz can't get anything more than familiarity. Garrick feels like it's on the tip of his tongue. It's definitely looks like someone important- but who?

Kess will take the picture off the wall and look on the back of it for any writing. If there is nothing she will tuck it away in her pack. "Maybe someone in town will recognize them. For now we should go check on the daughter." She heads towards the stairs with Razz.

This is a signature. It was a simple signature. But it has been upgraded.

Razz doesn't find anything, but the portrait catches his eye too. It looks familiar, almost like he's seen them before.
Tilting the portrait does nothing.

Razzec points at the picture, "Someone we've ran across before?"
((Does it look like a human or elf/half elf?))

It's definitely human.

"Hm...notable humans we've met. Urwin, Lucian?" Kess tilts her head as she tries to recognize the face in the picture.

(Is that for everyone or just Kess?)
Anyone who wants to figure out who the portrait might be of.

Kess can't think of anyone. Chipper gets an... odd idea. The basic facial structure is similar to Strahd's, but the features themselves are all off.

Garrick 15 investigation. (Less than Chipper’s)
Razz rolled 11 for Investigation. Can he help Chipper or Garrick? I doubt an 11 by itself is going to be useful.

((How big is the portrait? We might have to take it with us and ask NPCs.))

It's about 6 inches by 8 and a half inches.

“Agreed. Things are more pressing here than a familiar portrait”
