Is chopping and firebolting such a creature until it turns to smoke enough to actually kill it or is it out there reassembling itself and still somehow tied to the locket?
At this point have we gotten Felix and ourselves down to the 2nd floor? Does it look like we can wake Felix?
It's an interplanar creature. You have no idea if it's really "dead," in the sense you understand, or if it's off on its home world, or if it's still bound to the locket. You just don't know.
Felix and Milo, once you check on him, both seem to be unconscious but breathing normally and perhaps, after a long time of struggling for each, healthfully.
You learn that Felix had shared one of the rooms on the second floor with four other boys. One of those boys was Sedric, and the other three ran away within the past week. So Felix has a room to himself.
This post has potentially manipulated dice roll results.
Føpé retrieves something hearty and some tea from the kitchen. Milivoj, we have defeated the demon. You are good and strong. Føpé hands the boy the food. Where are the saint's bones? Persuasion 10
Milivoj sits in his bed, groggy and with his back to the wall.
I, I sold them. To Henrik, the coffin-maker. He offered me gold and I, I, needed it. . . He looks embarrassed.
I cannot find the missing boys. I need to pay the wolf hunters to look for them. Something is wrong, I fear they have left the city. Myrtle, Freek, and Lucian. . .
His eyes shift down to the bundle of cloth where he had hid the coins. You sense that he sees it's been ransacked. He looks crestfallen.
“The boys were here. They ran away almost two weeks ago. That was around the time I started to feel bad, but I spent a couple days looking. Then I felt sick so I took the bones so I could pay the hunters to look.
Did you catch any leads in your early searching for the boys? Had the missing boys been consorting with anyone out of the ordinary. Who are the wolf hunters that have been searching so far, and have they found any clues? Where were they last seen? Are there any details, no matter how small or seemingly unimportant, that might help us in our search for the missing children?
Føpé gathers the others, and relates what happened. I'd like to solve one mystery at a time, but for all we know they're connected. Let's ask around about the missing children before heading over to kill Henrik.
Blue: I agree with everything! Especially the many parts I got wrong.
Kif relates all this to the crew

Føpé opened the window and used his blanket to wave the smoke out, then rejoined the party.
Done and done.
OK, so what next, folks?
Did Felix have a room, did we search that room...
Can we wake either boy to ask questions?
Do you think that open store in the city square is big enough to open a Starbucks?

Milo does wake up, with a little gentle prodding.
There is room for a Starbucks in the town square.
Well guys, Starbucks is probably a non-starter with that demonic mermaid logo, although we could probably have a nice synergy with the pie cart ladies
I'd like to search Felix's room , perhaps someone would like to help me 20 perception
Then we should get Milo some broth and maybe then question the turd (and Felix if he comes to)

EDIT: It looks like Kif got the food.
Sorry, long day. I'll get to this.
No, I just suggested it, you got it (and killer roll). meanwhile I was looking in Felix's room with an 18 perception
It was your idea. I stole it, and then felt guilty.
Or at least, I spun off it by actually doing it without giving due credit.
Sorry for the continued delay. I should have a significant update later today.

Where can we find Henrik?
Please, tell us more about the missing boys. We seem to be in the business of helping people.
“The boys were here. They ran away almost two weeks ago. That was around the time I started to feel bad, but I spent a couple days looking. Then I felt sick so I took the bones so I could pay the hunters to look.
Henrik has a shop.”
He gives you directions.
Also it’s very early afternoon.
Do you know why Henrik wanted the bones?

He begins nodding off, back to sleep, but answers a little bit:
No, and I didn't ask. Thanks for bringing me food. I'm so tired.
He puts the bowl down on the floor neatly, curls up under the threadbare cover, and goes back to sleep.
