Kazri comes out to the barrow area. "I will spend some time searching this area for anything that might possibly belong to the Moonmaiden." She declares to the party. "I understand that his is a fools errand, but if I am able, I would like to increase the odds of being able to scry on her."
Kazri will spend one hour mainly in the barrow area, and maybe a little bit in Ravisin's chamber. She will look for anything that does not look like it belongs to the druid and it is fairly recent, and also that is not from a beast (creatures that were here before). If she doesn't find anything that might belong to the moonmaiden, at the very least she tried.

The spell finds them if they are on the same plane of existence, no need to define a search area. Doing so does not increase your chances of finding someone
Kazri spends an hour first searching the barrow and then moving to the room Ravisin used as her sleeping quarters. Kazri is unable to find anything that she could be sure belongs to or was a part of the god Auril.
Thus, Kazri did spend an hour on a fool's errand. So she goes to the mirror, touches it, cast Moonbean on the full moon symbol, and she will try Scrying on Huarwar.

Rekuberk wanders about as the others do their own thing, looking into a few of the other locations but making sure not to touch anything that seems out of place.
Chill watches as Krom and Kazri prepare to do their magic. The magic of the mirror made sense to him, an object that could be used to do amazing things. Krom's magic made less sense, waving hands and speaking jumbled words and magical things happened , by the power of gods or whatever. Chill had no understanding of this.
He did ponder whether they could take that mirror with them when they left. While Kazri searched the barrow for something that Auril would be connected to, how would she even know such a thing, Chill examined the mirror and how it was connected to the wall. If they could take it down they could take it with them.
This post has potentially manipulated dice roll results.
Chill takes the time to inspect how the mirror is affixed to the wall. He sees no hangers or anything that is holding it up and it appears to be firmly stuck directly to the wall. He surmises that a crowbar or other pry tool may be able to remove it but may also damage the mirror.
Kazri casts Moonbeam on the full moon symbol of the moon dial and knows that she has 1 minute to use the mirror to cast scrying. The mirror’s stone frame glows with silvery, scintillating light and she casts Scrying and focuses on finding Huarwar.

A moment later in the mirror you can see a chamber that is equipped with a system of wheels that you realize would raise a portcullises. In the middle of the floor are murder holes through which arrows can be shot or alchemist’s fire can be poured. The south wall has a row of five arrow slits built into it. Two wooden cots covered with furs are in the northeast corner of the room. Huarwar appears to be in some sort of castle. In the room with him is a female tielfing. You can also hear them and he is having a conversation with the tiefling. In his hands he holds a sword-shaped amulet.
"...last night. I was told again of the danger the duergar pose. They are plotting the destruction of Ten..."
(( Once you cast Scrying you can watch and listen for 10 minutes to one target. Or you can stop and recast to find another target. I'll break this up into 10 6 second chunks. It takes 6 seconds (an action) to cast the spell and then you can listen as long as you like, up to 10 minutes. Keep in mind the moonbeam spell only lasts 1 minute. So if you want to find another target you can only listen for a short bit to still have time to recast to find another target. Of course you can also recast Moonbeam to empower the mirror for another minute))
(Kazri only has 3 2nd lvl slots, so she can only use it for 3 minutes total right?)
Kazri will listen to 3 more second chunks for now. Is Kazri able to see if the tiefling is wearing the same sword-shaped amulet? Does the castle looks in good shape?
(Huarwar's mother, Cora said. "I know that there are only two castles in Ten-Towns: an intact one in Caer-Dineval and a ruined one in Caer-Konig.")

Unless asked at any point to assist, it for once hadn't occured to Rhogar or Gorrah -- if albeit, in her own way -- to offer it during the search. During the hour of search instead, the Bronze found a place spot to best center himself, and get used to the evolving connection between himself and the Psuedodragon, restoring some of his strength the process(SR, if possible). Gorrah, however, hadn't the patience to sit around, but would instead bug the thus far unnamed animated shrub for a berries or stories about its travels with Ravisin.
Afterwards...
When the time finally came to make use of the mirror, Rhogar watched interest, assuming the magic allowed for much. If not, he kept an eye on Kazri, not fully trusting the mirror to not have some secret backlash or warping affect on non-evils. Something that even Krom's miracle couldn't pick up on to identify it, if he had at all before.
(After Kazri uses all her slots of Moonbeam and/or stops her scrying)
After Kazri finishes her scrying, Krom opens the lid of the sarcophagus of Ravisin's sister and starts chanting the hymn of divination (Speak with Dead) that will allow him to speak with her spirit. As the dwarf chants his hymn his hands traces in the air fiery runes and glyphs. Hoping that this time the spell will work, Krom traces the final rune and asks his questions:
"Who killed you?"
"Where is the Codicil?"
"What is that Auril fears the most?"
"Is the Frostmaiden using the shards of black ice to corrupt the people of the Dales?"
"...last night. I was told again of the danger the duergar pose. They are plotting the destruction of Ten-Towns. We need to seek allies to help us. Rumor is there are adventurers in the western towns aiding them but they have not come here to Caer-Dineval. The duergar have some sort of dragon and intend to..."
5 of 10 6 second chunks used
Kazri sees at one point that the tiefling does indeed wear the same type of pendant that Huarwar does. From what you can see the castle looks to be in serviceable shape.
(I believe we have all the answers that we are seeking regarding Huarwar. Can she switch now to Nass Lantomir? I am hoping that we can save the two other spell slots for the Frostmaiden.)

Krom pushes the lid off the sarcophagus and looks at the body of Ravisin's sister. He can see that her death occurred months ago, but the cold has slowed the decomposition of the body. Casting his spell he asks his questions:
The corpse gains the semblance of life and intelligence as her eyes open and she looks at Krom. In a course voice she answers Krom's questions.
"Who killed you?"
Hunters from Lonelywood she cries out
"Where is the Codicil?"
Hidden, hidden hidden is the codical she rasps quielty
"What is that Auril fears the most?"
The ravages of time, of time, so freezes to preserve the beauty of things. She laughs
"Is the Frostmaiden using the shards of black ice to corrupt the people of the Dales?"
Black ice, black ice, what of black ice
"Where we can find the Frostmaiden's temple?"
The fortress of Grimskalle on the island of Solstice hidden among the titanic icebergs in the Sea of Moving Ice. You will never find it, it is hidden, hidden, hidden...
Her voice slowly fades as the spells ends and her body returns to a corpse again.
When Krom moves into Ravisin's room to conduct his spell Chill follows but stays at the doorway. He's ready to act if somehow the spell goes wrong. He's seen Krom do this before but what if the body didn't just talk but moves, or worse attacks! No sense taking chance with things he doesn't understand.
When creepy girl is done giving her answers he waits a moment but curiosity gets the best of him. He really wants to see what else is in the tomb with the body. The last held good stuff. Maybe this one does as well.
Chill looks into the sarcophagus and sees that tucked under the corpse is a sharkskin pouch.
Drawing it out and looking inside Chill sees that it contains two potions in crystal vials. A finger taste of each reveals them to be a potion of resistance (radiant) and a potion of vitality.
Krom nods to himself as the spell takes effect and listens carefully to the replies given by Ravisin's sister. "Cryptic answers, but I was expecting something like this."
The dwarf informs the rest of the group and then asks to Rekuberk to burn the body with his flaming sword "Lad, would you mind to burn her as you did with Ravisin? The Frostmaiden may raise her as undead now that Ravisin is dead."
(So scrying on Nass, then the Frostmaiden. Anyone has any other target that might help us?)
