Mr. Greenleaf - Being suspicious of the situation and the lady Flyn will move closer to her and kneel down by her to get a better view of her face "What does your daughter look like? How did she break out?"

Torvin looks around to his friends and shrugs his shoulders. He then says to the woman " We will keep an eye out for Miss Gertruda Ma'am. Please try to stay strong and keep your faith"

he turns to his friends and slowly makes his way out of the room

Greenleaf: Sees : The doll she clutches in her hands which is malformed and has a strange leer and wears a sackcloth dress. You see stitched into the hem of its dress is a frayed tag bearing the words “Is No Fun, Is No Blinsky!”

Skorn motions to the others to gather around: Not a lot we can do unfortunately, we shall keep an eye out for Gertruda though. Let us be on our way.

Manneo - Hearing Skorn says quietly to the group so Mary won't hear, "Then let us not waste any more time here," turning Mary, " Miss, we will do what we can to help you, but we must go now." Manneo will then walk out of the house.

 So, I assume it's back to Ismark to help him & his sister with their father?

Skorn nods and motions to the others. Once back outside, he'll address Ismark. Apparently, Miss Mary's daughter has gone missing. She has no leads for us however, and we know nothing of the lay of this land. We will look for her as we go, but that is all we can do. Please lead on to your home.

Manneo - While walking with the group and following Ismark to his home Manneo can't help but have an unsettling feeling that they may have taken on too large of a task after seeing the town, the story form Mary, and the terror that Ismark and his family have had to endure makes Manneo think about his own history which just makes him angry...in order to calm down he grabs his water skin and takes a long pull from it letting the water fill up his mouth, enjoying the fresh feel of the water quench his parched throat, and it helps him have a thought, "The water skin and the water it holds are equal to the task at hand. The water represents this place: the towns, the people, even the very land they walk; the water skin represents the group that is attempting to ensure that the things it holds stays pure and untainted; the thirst that Manneo felt is representative of this Strahd that takes to slake all their needs. Eventually the water skin will not be enough to stop the thirst from drinking every drop." He walks up next to Skorn signalling for him to fallback a bit from the group and says, "Do you think that this is a lost cause? So much damage has already been done to this land...are we really going to be able to change what has afflicted these people? Before you say anything, Yes, I know I have promised to help and I will with everything that I can, I'm just not sure it will be enough to change anything."

Skorn walks in silence for a long moment. Finally, he looks up at Manneo. I do not have an answer for you, my friend. I have never seen a place such as this, where the land itself seems to be against us. I still do not understand how I even stand here. A day ago I was in Neverwinter. I fear it is now farther away than any of us realize. I did not wish to frighten the others, but I believe the strange magics that govern this land shall not release us easily.

Manneo - Still walking beside Skorn says, "I have had to calm my thoughts many times while here in this place...so much is different from where I came from, yet no matter where I go I am able to find the elements in order to center me and remind me that I have another purpose. I can only hope that they will be able to guide me through this forsaken place. Thank you for taking the time to hear my concerns, I hope someday that I can return the favor if you are ever in need." 

Skorn smiles grimly, of course. It seems the gods have deemed it fate for us to face this together, if indeed the gods have any power here. If my own purpose were but clearer, perhaps I could find a center as well. Alas, it seems my purpose is naught but drawing blood and playing war. Both of these things shall be required of us before this is over, of this I am sure. For now, pray we can help where we can, and find an end to this evil which plagues us.

As Torvin is walking beside Ismark he says - "Tell me Ismark is there a general store in your village and if so will we pass by it on the way to your home?"

Ismark says to Torvin " We passed the Blissandar's mercantile a ways back. Closer to the town square" 

Manneo - Looking around Manneo tries to take in their surroundings and see if there is anything of note on this walk. He will also say to Ismark, "Ismark, I hope I am not out of line by asking, but how much further to your residence?"

Perception: 14

We are here " he says" You see , A weary-looking mansion squats behind a rusting iron fence. The iron gates are twisted and torn. The right gate lies cast aside, while the left swings lazily in the wind. The stuttering squeal and clang of the gate repeats with mindless precision. Weeds choke the grounds and press with menace upon the house itself. Yet, against the walls, the growth has been tramped down to create a path all about the domain. Heavy claw markings have stripped the once-beautiful finish of the walls. Great black marks tell of the fires that have assailed the mansion. Not a pane nor a shard of glass stands in any window. All the windows are barred with planks, each one marked with stains of evil omen.

You guys wanna do anything out here?

Manneo - Looking at the mansion as they approach begins to get this unnerving feeling and as they go through the gate he stops and asks Ismark, "What has happend to your home? Is this all from this Strahd?"
