"Wait, listen. It's dangerous to go alone...." again you hear a loud >KRACK< as Sylciss appears, perched on Thpas' shoulder. "Take us with you. I wouldn't mind having a poke around."
Byllemura is startled by the loud crack and says: "Sylciss, you little devil. Can you not be... quieter?" with a smile. "I'll stay with the kids here, if you don't mind. They are terrified."
As Valanthe steps into the windmill's first floor, the smell becomes even stronger. The flames have died down. The scent is coming from the oven.

Devious serpent folk devoid of compassion, yuan-ti manipulate other creatures by arousing their doubts, evoking their fears, and elevating and crushing their hopes. From remote temples in jungles, swamps, and deserts, the yuan-ti plot to supplant and dominate all other races and to make themselves gods.

Valanthe approaches the oven, her face already contorted as if her stomach was in knots - her eyes show fear... fear of what she expects to find... fear of what she cannot fathom she will find. Once in front of it, she uses her sword to open up the doors....
In the oven, sitting unharmed by the flames that dance around it, sits a blood red rose.

"This is an ill omen. He is watching us and he is tracking us. He was here and we did not even notice. He is everywhere and nowhere." Then turning to Thpas, she continues, "I'm going to drive my sword through his heart."
Just before the radiance of her long sword begins to naturally fade with the expiration of the divine magic, Valanthe pierces the rose with the tip of her long sword driving it in to the coals of the oven, but quickly pulling the blade out lest it get too hot.
No. The windmill isn't burning down. But Byllemura or Thpas could make it do so with little effort. //

Noting Erme come back in and head upstairs, Valanthe will turn her eyes away from the rose and follow to help the search. Valanthe will search Bella's body as well as their personal effects. Catching up to Erme, Valanthe says, "Maybe they have a connection to Strahd - he was here." Valanthe described the rose found in the oven to Erme.

"Oh, I don't intend on going in - it's just strange that this fragrance appeared as if from nowhere - come on, Erme... Just a peek?"

Emre will go in and search the upper rooms of the windmill, looking for any more children or for evidence of what else is going on here.

Sylciss gazes longingly at the barrel of pungent sludge.
"Never mind that sewage, Sylciss, until someone has a proper look at it."
