Barnaby: Oh you dirty girl. Don’t you know it’s not polite to stare. People should have a bit of privacy don’t you think? Is it the pastries? Did you watch me when I ate them? It couldn’t have been too exciting. What... what’s the point exactly?
Very well. I will go and fetch my things. She walks to the stairs rising to the second level. And my daughter. Melanie! She calls up the stairs as she goes up.
Chubs: Sure thing. Let's have a look Kif. Chubs drinks deeply from his mug and wipes his face with the back of his sleeve. He looks expectantly at Kif ready to head up the stairs behind him.
The party makes its way to the second floor of the mill.
This is the room in which the shaft enters the grinding mill itself. You would guess that this is where the flour is made. The room is neat, and (again) looks like you might expect a room in such a place to look. It looks like the mill has been operating quite recently, judging by the material in and around the millstones themselves (and judging by the fact that Tulip observed the mill being operated, by someone in the room upstairs).
At the moment, the room is unoccupied. I have placed you within it, on the map.
Is the detect magic picking up anything on this level? Through the floor to the level above within 30'? B&C will look around the room for threats, oddities, or interests...
What skill to try and identify?

It has something to do with scrying, you would suspect.

She sees you recognize the contents of the barrel.
Not on you! It's the children! How do you think we - I - know about the danger to the children?! Help us rescue them!
You may tell us about the children as you pack your bags. Squatting is not one of your options regardless of their plight.
Very well. I will go and fetch my things. She walks to the stairs rising to the second level. And my daughter. Melanie! She calls up the stairs as she goes up.

Kif heads for the stairs
Chubs: Sure thing. Let's have a look Kif. Chubs drinks deeply from his mug and wipes his face with the back of his sleeve. He looks expectantly at Kif ready to head up the stairs behind him.
Barnaby maintains his stance at the front door.
Misalyk follows up the stairs.
