Kessintra crawls back out from under the bed, standing and studying the bones in silence for a moment. "Uh...I see. Keeping corpses around was a habit of hers then. Razz, can you tell anything about these?"

"A locked chest with bones. If we find that imp, I think it's worth checking if it can enter the church in case Fr. Lucian has already been deceived about where St. Andril's bones lie." says Chipper. "Of course that test would rely on capturing it, which may or may not be in the cards."
"Well that's definitely a weird place to keep bones but I've had you humans have skeletons in your closets sometimes so maybe I shouldn't be surprised" Razz shrugs and then starts examining the bones.
You immediately notice that they lack the divine aura the of the bones of Saint Andril. These aren't the same bones. In addition, they appear to have been dead for several centuries.

"We'll 'convince' it to come with us one way or another. We need to know for sure that the church's ward is working. And speaking of diamonds...If we find one, I suppose we could...ask Lucian to revive him. Assuming he was sane, of course. We do need someone to run the town." She motions at the man on the bed with a sigh, moving to open the curtains on the window and the window if possible. If the brothers are out there, she will yell to ask them if their father was crazy too.
Ada shakes her head at the sight of the discovered bones. "What a strange family," she says. "I hope the sister doesn't give me a reason to have to knock her out, but I will if she's as crazy as her mother."
The paladin stands over the body of the father and murmurs a short prayer for his soul to Lathander. "Well, if Fiona only went off the deep end after he died, maybe he wasn't as bad as she was."
The brothers look up confused at you. "Crazy? What do you mean crazy?" "Yeah, I mean, the devil stuff is new, and he didn't do that, but our family has always had ties to Strahd."

"Hm...ties...So Strahd would likely approve of him. Meanwhile, he'd owe us his life." Kessintra muses to the others before calling to the brothers again. "If we have him revived, he'd be grateful, yes? Then he'd have ties to us too. Do you think he'd be a better leader than your mother? Oh, and was you sister calmer when he was alive?"
"Uh- well- I don't know!" "As for the sister thing..... she went crazy after an..... incident. It was after his death, but the two had nothing to do with each other."

"No, it seems like a normal one so far. Stay outside until we're done. Who knows what else we might find or...wake up." She steps away from the window with more questions than answers. "Family secrets can be so trying. Garrick, do you have room for the bones in your bag? We might as well drop them off at the church to get a real burial."

[[ Chipper did want to take a look at the closet. Believe the chest-dart interrupted that though. ]]

The closet holds only clothes and shoes.

(How much do the bones weigh? I can prob put them in my bag of holding + inventory — really need to sell these books 😂)
((Are there any more darts in the mechanism of the chest that we could salvage?))

There are 2 darts coated in poison. The bones weigh 8 pounds.

Kess will take the darts unless someone else wants one.

I grab the bones and the expensive looking clothes and put them into my bag of holding (let me know what clothes I get)
[[ No objections on Kess taking the darts from Chipper. ]]
If detect magic is still up Chipper takes a quick look around, though not expecting to find anything.
Otherwise, if the group is fine with a delay, he'll ritual-cast it again. (10 minutes + 1 action.)
