"Lookin more like we be keeping our friend from getting lucky me thinks." Dain says with a amused grunt as he accepts a plate of food. "Probably made the lass a wee embarrassed with all of us commin out dere..." He chuckles outright at that, then goes on to eat his food.
This post has potentially manipulated dice roll results.
Dain sends a mental command to his familiar, which he has appear just outside the building, what ever is close to 30 feet from him currently. he sends the tressym flying after the serving girl to keep watch and make sure she makes it safely home. He feels bad about the group ruining the fun she had planned out in the shed.
(OOC: Is it possible to get a quick location check on everyone? Like where is everyone right now? Apologies if that's not allowed! - nevermind, I think that's too hard).
Okay, seeing the footprints, Albanus will mention this to anyone who is still nearby. "Still seem fresh," Albanus says rather absentmindedly. "We should take a look at this place. Something...isn't sitting well about this place." Albanus will continue to poke around and follow the tracks if he is with someone. If everyone left, he will not venture further into the shed or follow the small footprints.
(Ok, then the detect magic results changes a bit on how Dain is feeling about the girl...)
Dain instead sends his familiar out to keep an eye on the girl, not knowing just what she has done to their friend, but realizing that he is under a powerful charm spell.
"Da serving lass has our friend under some sort of charm spell." Dain informs the group as soon as possible after getting inside. "I sent my familiar to trail her, but anyone got something that mightin remove da spell from em?" he also shows them the crude magical item he found out in the shed.
"Ooh, magical items? I'll got have you lot know, I've an eye for em!" Downing his drink with confidence knowing a new one is on the way, Volgrum approaches. "With All-Father's blessing, I can found out what the item does. Only if you want to, though." Genuinely curious, the dwarf leans in to take a closer look.

Tressym perception: 12
( It takes a few minutes, but the Tressym is finally able to spot Janice just as she arrives at a modest house in town, just a short walk from the inn and tavern. She enters through the front door and closes it behind her. The house does have one window on the side of the house but the Tressym would have to fly closer to see through it.)

(You can make a survival check if you want to try and follow them, but I think everyone is inside at the moment.)
Albanus goes inside with others, not wanting to be alone. He’ll hear what Dain says, stunned, looking at the others. Reaching a hand up to his head, he’ll say “So that’s what that was...”.

"Is that true? I knew there was something wrong with her. First, she lies about where she came from, and now she's using spells to try and control us. There's no way we can let that slide without confronting her about it." Aura says, regaining confidence again, as something helps assure that she's right. "I can't take away the effects, though. I know about magic, but I don't do magic. It's kinda hard to explain..."

(Fella, I believe you're still charmed, so... Wouldn't you trust her more than Dain? You're seeing her as a close friend after all.)
"A charm? And an item you found? That lends itself to a question. Did she cause the charm--or was it that item or the area, and she was charmed as well to bring people out to be charmed or more? Either way---perhaps we should watch her home. She could be a loose end now, or part of it."
Looking over the item briefly, "I can't really figure it out.. though I might be able to build a tool that'll help figure it out. Would take a while though-like overnight."
(You don't get any saves per round to attempt uncharmed right? Its one and done, unless a fight breaks out right? So no, I can't help. If you had a save every round I would give you a guidance pill. or Enhanced Ability spell)

"Well da lass went ta a home not far away." Dain says with a shrug. "Going ta have my familiar move in to see if em can see anythin through the window." he concentrates then, having the familiar do so.
(OOC I’m charmed yes and I do see her in a friendly light. But I’m not controlled or dominated. DM can clear it up (or not :))but I can still act freely unless compelled in certain situations).
(You don't get any saves per round to attempt uncharmed right? Its one and done, unless a fight breaks out right? So no, I can't help. If you had a save every round I would give you a guidance pill. or Enhanced Ability spell)
(It depends on the spell you're using, some allow for attempts once a turn, others don't. I'm pretty sure I know what ability Janice used, and if I'm right, that one wouldn't allow it.)

(Yea no saves on this one, and I guess just to make a ruling here, while Albanus will obey her commands, I don't see it as full mind control where he would otherwise do nothing except wait for orders or defend himself, but I do have to agree that youd probably be a bit more conflicted about this information, maybe not immediately accepting it or something like that, but I won't impose here.)

Stealth: 21
Perception: 25
(Your familiar flies closer and peers through the window with a keen feline eye. However it sees no trace of Janice, which seems almost impossible as there arent any places she could quickly conceal herself. Its as though she completely vanished from sight after closing the door behind her. Otherwise it looks like a ordinarily furnished house, a fireplace, a sitting area, and a bedroom door on the otherside of the living area.)
"Well that's odd..." Dain says as he hears back from his familiar. "The lass just up and disappeared. Not in da house at all... Or not where me friend be able ta be seein er..."
Albanus goes inside with others, not wanting to be alone. He’ll hear what Dain says, stunned, looking at the others. Reaching a hand up to his head, he’ll say “So that’s what that was...”.
Albanus looks around at the others, a struggle of emotions on his face as he contemplates what his friends are saying. She really seemed nice, he thinks to himself as he signals to the halfling for some wine. “I hear what you all are saying but if - IF - what you say is true...Have any of you experienced something like this before? What do I do? Maybe it’s some misunderstanding?”
The moment Vulgrom manages to get his hands on the strange magical item retrieved, he'll cast Identify over the course of several minutes*, while look at the item with narrows eyes and intense focus...
* Ritual Casting You can cast a cleric spell as a ritual if that spell has the ritual tag and you have the spell prepared.
"Sorry I haven't. I don't know much about that... But as for Janice.. disappeared you said? Is there anything else around? That leans me more to think she herself was also charmed as a disposible extra target. Should we go look outselves? If she's jut in a closet or something, we might make life harder on us here. But if she's in danger...or is the danger. Wait. Did her escourts disappear too?"
