Brom posts himself outside the door to the windmill while Alexander and Anders head inside (Nylin and Faron, you can let me know when you post if you're going in or staying outside.) Alexander and Anders give me perception checks for when you're in the windmill.
“Spirit. In every language in all the Realms, surface and Underdark, in every time and every place, the word has a ring of strength and determination. It is the hero's strength, the mother's resilience and the poor man's armor. It cannot be broken and it cannot be taken away.”
Alexander you are in a sort of makeshift kitchen, warmth issues from a brick oven against one wall, which is emitting a sweet smell of baked goods. A crumbling staircase ascends the wall across from the oven, and movement can be heard from somewhere higher up. The barrel in the middle of the room is the source of the awful smell, and appears to be filled with some sort of greenish-black goo. You also notice that near the back of the room there are small bones littering the ground.

Alexander will examine the black goo and the small bones. "Andres, there seem to be movement upstairs and it would seem that's where the children went. Let's look around here first before we head up to find them, something seems off about that barrel and those small bones over there." Taking a stick, broom or anything of the sort Alexander will probe the black goo. While doing this he will ask Andres to examine the small bones. "Andres, while I look into this why don't you take a look at those small bones."
ooc: What kind of roll do I need to make?

"Yet you trust this place as somewhere... safe? Just out of reach? Or had there been someone..." Vaalu trails off and starts to look around the nearby area for any signs of wildlife. Even something as unnoteworthy is given more than just a once over. "How much would you say you were into history, Ismark? Annnd did that father back there... did he make those symbols on your home?" She asks, but kept her gaze focused still on looking around.

“It’s hard to tell. They could be from any matter of small creature. I’m going upstairs and check on the girls.” Archie switches out his viol for his drum as he heads upstairs.
Vaalu - Ismark responds, "Vallaki is farther from the eyes of Strahd. The village of Barovia has long been in the shadow of Castle Ravenloft, and my hope was that Strahd wouldn't be able to sense Ireena from so far away. Our father was the Burgomaster of Barovia, and so was his father before him. I was supposed to follow in his footsteps but that life never really appealed to me. I don;t have the same... leadership qualities that my father had, and most people knew it. As for the symbols, that was myself and Ireena, with some guidance by Father Donavich. They didn't do us much good though.."
Anders - As you head up the stairs, calling out and playing your instrument, you can hear footsteps, that sound like they're coming from the third floor down to the second floor that you're approaching. A voice calls out back to you, that sounds like an elderly woman. "Who's down there? Who is scaring my girls? If you've come for my pastries you deal with me, ya hear?"
*not playing just having it ready (flair) for spell casting*
”I’m sorry miss. My name is Andres, We were just on our way and saw the girls. This place looked abandoned... we just wanted to make sure everyone is okay.
Andres pauses before speaking very loudly for Alex to hear “sooo we mean you no harm, but who was it that you were scrying on?”
"Scrying, hmm, I don't know what you mean, heh heh. We're all doing fine though, nothing to worry about, I've just been a bit lax on the housekeeping, heh heeh heeeh. Since you're hear though," and she holds out a plate with a few small mincemeat pies on it. "Can I interest you in one of my Dream Pastries, only one gold a piece, they're very good."
Alexander Wenzel Eusebius Beaumont Lvl 3 | Human | Paladin/Oath of Vengeance
When Andres spoke loudly, Alexander started walking up the stairs, "Don't take anything from her, something seems off. Nothing about this place tell me that those pastries are worth one gold apiece and besides, she's lied already. That was clearly a scrying spell miss, there is no use lying to us."

Vaalu stops her search to walk around and give Ismark a thorough once over. "What makes you so certain that you do not have what it takes?"She ask before she pokes him in the arm. "Because you are not physically strong as your sister?" She tries to flick his hair with the tip of her fingers. "Because your not 'handsome' enough? Or because you are just afraid of something?" She scoffs. "You humans are always quick to lie to yourselves."Vaalu finishes with a roll of her eyes, coming to her own conclusion.
