Valanthe chases Bella upstairs, right behind Sylciss... If there are children in the room Valanthe will try to put herself between the children and Bella and implore the children to stay behind her.
If Valanthe can get a strike with her longsword, she will attempt to do so....
// For those who chased Bella to the next level of the windmill... //
A thick wooden gear shaft sits in the center of this cramped, circular room. In a rotting wooden closet are three crates, stacked one atop another, with small doors set in them. Next to the closet is a heap of discarded clothing. A ladder climbs to a wooden trapdoor in the nine-foot-high ceiling. A moldy bed with a tattered canopy stands nearby.
Bella is looking in one of the crates, saying, "Heeeere, little girl! Bella's gonna eatcha!"
She then looks up as you enter. She snarls and fires three blasts of energy at you. But instead of hitting you, the magic missiles navigate themselves past you and burst against the wooden framework of the windmill. The structure shudders and creaks, tilting so far that the closet slides a bit. Suddenly the windmill lurches forward. Bella stumbles. It now becomes clear to you what the hags are trying to do. They are trying to bring the windmill down. On you!
In the crate Bella was looking into there is a huddled, crying girl of about five. In the crate beneath hers is a boy of seven years.

// Actually, if you remember from the first floor, there was an oven with pastries cooking in it. I meant for it to be obvious that since the oven wasn't being tended to, the pastries burned. //

"I'll try to keep this beast of a woman down! Someone set the children loose! The other two - help me make sure that she never gets up again!"
Suddenly, the windmill lurches, slanting the floor at a 15-degree angle! The crates with the children inside topple over, the children inside screaming in terror. The smell of smoke is beginning to cause some of you to cough. Offalia grinds her teeth, but then grins and says, "Bed time, my children!" (using Innate Spellcasting to cast sleep).

Byllemura sways, falls to her knees, then drifts to sleep. Offalia curses, having expected to take more than one person out of the fight.
