"If the mists are crowding in, I would expect you are safer in here than out there." Lavena says as she turns her back to the double doors and moves over to help look at the mirror.
Guenhyvar, the balcony doors open easily, but as you get closer to the edge of the balcony the mist thickens until it forms a roiling opaque wall.
Rontevich, looking over the mirror the button to release the latch on the door stands out like a sore thumb. Pressing it, the door pops open and swings easily, revealing a cobwebbed staircase leading up.

The stairs creak and groan as you climb, but they hold steady. The door at the top requires a little effort to open, but it unsticks from the frame and opens to a small, dust choked hall. 3 doors are in front of you, one of which has a padlock on it. There's another door to the left.

"Well that is something different..." Lavena says, nodding to the lock. She adjusts her phoenix mask as she moves towards the chained door. "Anyone able to open this?" She asks the others.
It isn't your best effort, but the padlock is old and gives just enough to force open the door. This room contains a bricked-up window flanked by two dusty, wood-framed beds sized for children. Closer to the door is a toy chest with windmills painted on its sides and a dollhouse that’s a perfect replica of the dreary edifice in which you stand. These furnishings are draped in cobwebs. Lying in the middle of the floor are two small skeletons wearing tattered but familiar clothing. The smaller of the two cradles a stuffed doll that you also recognize.

"What is this?" Lavena asks, glancing at the two skeletons. "Are those... children?" She moves in, trying to figure out where she has seen the clothes and doll before.
Guenhyvar looks closely at them, “I believe those are the children we met in the street. So were they ghosts asking for vengeance, or a trap by something to lure us in?”
This post has potentially manipulated dice roll results.
Rontevich tries to tell how they died Were they locked in here alive or dead? Or was the locked-up monster something like copies of the kids or whatever?Medicine18
Also, does the fake house show a cellar or a way out that we have not seen?

Examining the skeletons, there are no visible marks on them indicating how they died.
When you look at the dollhouse, you see all of the secret doors you've already found, plus one in a room nearby with a spiral staircase that seems to lead down into the cellar. As you examine, a little girl's voice from behind you says "hey, that's mine!"

You are right - I was looking for a way out of the real house. We were tricked in here by people who looked like you - only more solid. Was that you? Are you ok?

Seeing the skeletons and the ghost Saxis arms will drop to his said and his face will look an almost pale white. After about thirty seconds of standing spaced out and mumbling to himself Saxis will snap back to the real world.
"We must... Avenge this children. No child deserves to have their life taken from them."
The girl looks confused, and the little boy clutches the doll tighter and moves closer to Rose. "No...how can we be out there when we're dead? Our parents put us in here to protect us from the monster like usual, but they didn't come back for a long long time. We got really really hungry."

Guenhyvar steps up, "I can try, but do we want to check the other rooms first? Leave this one locked just in case the 'monster' is inside?"
Elias will stay close to Lavena and Guenhyvar in case something shows up.
Saxis will attempt to brute force the lock on the door "I'm tired of this place and this is the first locked door we've seen."

Lavena looks for the owner of the voice.

The two children stand over their bodies, now nothing more than ghosts. The girl giggles. "That's not your home. You can't live in a dollhouse."

"Were you the ones who invited us into this house?" Lavena asks them, doubting it as she does so. "What about your parents and the monster?"
