Harmony walked in, seeing as she had found what seems to be the dining room. Wow, the table is so long even though it's not a big family, wondering if they invite people over a lot. Then she noticed the door, wondering where that leads to as she goes over to it. She does the same as before, knocking on it and if no one answers, she will open it, excusing and announcing herself.
OOC: Enduring Spellbook has been added to Abraxas's inventory.
For Abraxas and Jove:
The bottles appear to be entirely decorative, and when Jove uncorks a bottle, the mist dissipates into a fine grey dust at the bottom of the bottle, no longer stirring.
For Harmony:
There is no response to this knock, but the scene within the next room is much different. A half dozen chefs run to and fro, seasoning meat, mixing batter, and otherwise preparing an impressive variety of food. A rotund, red-faced tiefling man in a tall white hat barks orders at his underlings, brandishing a sharp knife with every instruction.
"What is your business here? If it's not related to tonight's meal, I don't care!" he barks at you when you announce yourself.
"Sorry!" Harmony called out as she realized what the room was and heard the tiefling man. She then quickly left, back into the dining room as she closed the door, sighing. She had made her way out of the dining room, back to the foyer as she saw the stairs and decided to check that way. So Harmony would be walking up the stairs and then going down the narrow hall, wondering where Elzerina's room is at.
"Hmm," Abraxas says. "That is odd dust. Is the collection of them intended to be art? But, unless you think there is more to see here, perhaps we can find the others?" He takes a step toward the door. "Finding the girl's room seemed like the next thing."
"That seems like the right idea, Abraxas. Let's see where the others have gotten." Jove and Abraxas go to meet up with the others to find the girl's room.
Jove and Abraxas join Harmony and the others with Captain Staget in the hall, and the party heads up the stairs into a short hallway. A closed door lies on either side of the end of the hall.
OOC: Ready to advance once an action is taken. The party has regrouped and there is a door at the left and a door at the right of the end of this hallway.
Jove knocks on the door on the left and waits for a response. If there is one he says "We are performing an investigation over celebrity attacks." then opens the door slowly and walks in. With no response, he opens slowly and walks in.
There is no response from within the room, and Jove opens the door. Light pours into this small room through four tall bay windows that look out above a garden. Furnishings include a luxurious armchair and a small side table where an empty wine glass sits atop a small book.
The tidiness of the room and the wear of the chair indicate that it is used frequently. The book appears to be Victoro Cassalanter's journal, but Jove finds nothing inside but thoughts on flowers, happenings within the city, and other mindless drivel.
Harmony was glad to see the others, all going up the stairs and seeing two more doors. She watched as Jove knocked and then opened the door on the left, surprised to see that it looks like a study or sitting room. But it was clear that this is not the room they were looking for. "We should probably check the other room." Harmony had said, going back out and knocking on the door to the right. If no one answers, she would then slowly open it, announcing and excusing herself as she walks inside.
Jove returns to the party and Harmony slowly opens the door after she hears no response to her knocking.
This room contains two four-poster beds. A life-sized stuffed unicorn stands in one corner, and there is a circular area rug in the middle of the room. Scattered on the rug are two hair barrettes and seven marbles. At the foot of each bed is a large, ornate toy chest; one is a rich mahogany, the other a shiny white with gold handles.
Balin gets a particularly wistful look on his face when the door is opened to the children's bedroom. He moves, careful not to disturb the barrettes and marbles Halsen is inspecting, to the white chest and opens it up.

Halsen peeks into the room, examining the objects on the ground. The pattern of the marbles and barrettes does not match a pattern within the drawing; they are spread haphazardly among the rug.
Balin opens the white chest to see a number of toys and assorted objects. Within the chest are a set of pick-up sticks in a silk sleeve, a set of metal jacks in a velvet pouch, an empty velvet pouch, two complete sets of alphabet blocks, an articulating wooden snake, an ornately carved dreidel, a beautiful box in the shape of an egg with a seam in the middle, and a two-foot-tall toy nutcracker in the shape of an imp in soldier's garb.

Jove picks up a bottle. Does it have a label, as if it was a wine or something? Does it fizz?
If it seems safe to open, he'd like to open and investigate by smelling it. Otherwise, he looks for markings to tell what it is and where it is from.
Investigation with advantage from Abraxas's help:23

Jove is interested in the book and glass. He will pick up the book and look through it. Does it seem anyone was here recently? Investigation: 18
