The wooden stairs creak loudly making stealth all but impossible, the wooden floor boards old and warped. The small hallway upstairs shows two bedrooms, one of which is where the sobs are emanating from. Aga steps forward. A woman, by the shape of her body and sound of her voice, her back to the door, a cloak covering her head sits in the middle of the floor. She rocks back and forth gently sobbing.

Mordekai wonders how this woman is still sitting facing away from the door, given the amount of noise the party made entering the house. He will cast guidance on himself again, and check out the other room in the house, with Eldritch Blast readied again, fully expecting some kind of ambush situation.
Meepo leaves his disk out in the area outside the door to the bedroom. He then moves up to the door and waits just out of the room to see what happens, noticing his companions seem to be doing useful things. He prepares a readied crossbow, just in case.
She slowly turns her face towards Kanes voice, people breathing a slight breath of relief noting she appears to be a live person. She glances, only sideways at the group before continuing to sob. She has, at least, acknowledged the party's existence.
With supreme caution the party moves closer into the room, but there is no ambush, other creatures, or anything seemingly here. The bedroom has a bed that hasn't been slept in, and appears to be a young girls bedroom. The woman appears to be in her fifties, has pale skin, under her threadbare cloak and clothing. The general state of the house is relatively neat, but poorly maintained, and with very poor belongings that are old, worn, and in rough shape.
The woman appears to be holding a child's doll as she moans. She is not crying, but more moaning despondently. Here eyes dry and absent of any hope.

"Here. It was here. We were safe in this house. Safe from everything out there." She practically sneers the words "out there". "Then she left. She ran away."
"What is your name, sweet woman? And how did Gertruda leave? The more you tell us, the more chance we might have of finding her. Did she leave by herself? Or do you think someone made her leave?
What worries you most about her being out there? How old is she?
And how did the two of you get on? Did you ever argue?"

Seeing his companions have the talking with the woman in hand, meepo moves to look at the other room, hoping to find some clues that might help them find the lost girl.

Kane leaves his companions to question the woman and silently proceeds to the other bedroom, which he searches thoroughly with the assistance of his arcane flame and mage hand.
Kane summons a mage hand and follows after Aga and Mordekai, his arcane flame illuminating the house in a dim light.
(I hadn't thought of that. Is the house dark even though it's daytime, given the windows are all boarded up?)

RavenloftAnnihilationKane exhales softly. “Truly, horror and sorrow stalk this terrible land.” Fearing the worst, he casts False Life on himself for 5 HP.
He takes a step towards the figure, but remains at a safe distance. “May we be of assistance?” He asks.
Aga will ready her lance. As she slowly steps in the room she will take a quick glance of her surroundings.

"Ma'am?" Aga says, slowly moving her lance into a more relaxed position. "We heard sobbing outside. Are you in distress?"
"Lost?" Meepo asks, moving up to the woman a bit closer. "Meepo help..." he glances around, then back to the woman. "Tell Meepo what wrong..."
Persuasion: 2
Kane relaxes and looks around the room for a picture of its former occupant.
"Lost?" she replies to Meepo. "She is lost. I tried to keep my Gertruda safe...but...she's gone. Gone. For a week. She may be dead for all I know..."
Kane sees a small sketched drawing of a girl, in her early pre-teen years, in a frame sitting on a desk. She bears a resemblance to Mary.

"Well, we may be of assistance. Can you tell us where you last saw her?"
"Here. It was here. We were safe in this house. Safe from everything out there." She practically sneers the words "out there". "Then she left. She ran away."
She begins to cry.

(At least we find the same things then... lol... Should have done the help action so one of us could have gotten advantage I guess.)
