"Indeed it is. I hope that having me come here wasn't a bother to you... I was a bit curious."She pauses, a bit of quietness just to be sure she wasn't too quick to get to her point, while also making sure she was giving this the proper attention. "May I know more about this? You don't need to if you don't want to, I'm just a bystander..." She says, leaving her amulet of Kelemvor out in the open.
She wasn't lying, she just didn't know if the name of her deity would have any meaning to the man, and she was pretty cautious about that of giving this the proper attention
"It is a simple memorial to my wife and his mother." The man responds to Valentia, rubbing his son's head. "We lost her to illness two winters ago."
"We laid her to rest in the cemetary, but this was her favorite spot. One day a year, the sun would seems to tuck itself right in the crook of those two peaks. That day also happens to be on the day of her birth. We would come here every year to see it happen, and I felt there would be no other appropriate place to remember her by than here."
"Thank you for taking the time to explain it..." Valentia says, giving a faint trace of a smile, then looking at her amulet. "I thought it'd be important for me to stop here, as a servant of Kelemvor... Proper rest for the deceased is his and my main motivation. But, along with that, is knowing that the living can move on feeling peace instead of restlessness over the ones who have gone... I hope you've been doing well, and I'll be sure to reserve some prayers for your wife as well..."

"Thank you for the consideration, miss. Take care." The man returns his smile and continues paying respect to the monument.

Lia and Valentia hear the sound, but are able to ignore it. As the party gets closer, the sounds get clearer and can be distinctly heard as singing.
Oswin suddenly finds himself in a trance and start climbing up the western bluffs.
Hearing him trying to negotiate the crags, Lia and Valentia turn to try to call his attention, but Valentia sees what looks to be a wing barely peeking from behind a rock.

Oswin will move to H3, almost fighting himself the whole way and sending his SD to J1 the two of them attacking simultaneously. (You said I was compelled to be next to them, but can still attack right? Otherwise, ignore Oswin's attack. Both are also rolled at advantage for flanking.)

Harpys turn
The singing harpy stops her song, noticing that even though it worked for a time, nobody is caring for it anymore. But since it already had done its job, it strikes at Oswin with its claws and a broken branch it is brandishing.

"I don't see an issue with it. The ruins aren't going anywhere." Nessarian replies to to Valentia.
Curiosity strikes Valentia and she approaches the man at the cairn.
He hears her approach, turns his head toward her and acknowledges her, "Hello, miss. It's a nice day, isn't it?"
