Sergei appreciates that his friends’ scruples have made them uncomfortable in this house and situation. He reflects that it’s probably for the best to leave now before getting too entangled in clearly nefarious dealings, and he certainly doesn’t want to get split up in the case of another situation akin to that at the coffin-maker’s place. So he gets up to follow Leann’s lead.
Rudick cupped his chin with a hand, at least seeming to consider the suggestion. Yet between Leann getting up to leave and his own musings getting nowhere fast, the Orc ends up giving a formal bow as well. "... Your suggestion... it we'll be kept in mind." He stated, before then moving to follow after the others. Unless someone specifically got called back or tried to slip away at some point, he makes a point of being the last to leave, and with a hand never too far away from a weapon.

((I'm going to assume that Skip follows the party.))
As everyone begins to rise and head to the exit, Lady Fiona says, "Farewell, travelers. Don't be strangers." As you exit and escort yourselves out of the house, you can her Fiona chuckle to herself.
You find yourselves out on the porch of the sagging edifice that Lady Fiona calls home. While you were inside, a light rain has begun to fall. Small puddles have formed along the muddy ground, and raindrops run down along the windows like silent tears. Over the soft pitter-patter of rain, you hear a raven caw nearby. Looking up, you can see 5 ravens huddled together in under the heavy branches of a pine tree. All of them watch you as you stand there, an unnerving sight. A slight rumble of thunder draws your attention away, and you can see that the villagers are undeterred by the rain. They continue on with their tasks as the hurry along muddy trails under the gloomy clouds above.
As they leave the house Leann once more calls on ehr Divine Sense, feeling for anything that might be following them fromt he house. Seh will walk away from it, leading the group back towards the tavern they were told about. If no sense of being followed comes she would speak...
"There were two fiends in that house." Leann says. "One of them was on the other side of the house, from us, while the second was coming from atop the mantle just a few feet away from the table we were sitting at." She glances around to check if anyone, other than the group, is listening in. "Somewhere below us, in that house, was something evil and Lady Fiona has a faint evil aura as well." Leann glances to each of her companions. "I would not trust her, or any words she spoke." Continuing along the way towards the tavern she tacks on... " There was a curse effect somewhere upstairs in addition to an undead aura also upstairs, and several objects in the house have been desecrated in some manner."
Sergei would also quietly relate in more detail what he saw about the maid.
“If this is the house spoken of by Madam Eva then we will need to penetrate this house somehow, discover its secrets, perhaps even vanquish these entities.”
This post has potentially manipulated dice roll results.
When the duo finally pass along in full what they saw and sense, Rudick lets out a heavy and almost defeated sounding sigh. "That goes without saying, Sergei. If connected to talks before about the mysterious figures.. cloaked ones or whatever priest mentioned before, then could be they are already maneuvering to take matters in own hands relatively soon." He mentions, following his own and more mundane glance around for anything suspicious or anyone paying too much attention to the group.
"But cannot expect to be easy. Rooted deeply she is, and no doubt responsible for how Vampires snuck into town without arousing suspicion sooner.... Hm.. You see other ways in?"

Sergei suddenly remembers the cellar on the side that he noticed as they approached the house.
“Skip, if I turn you invisible, would you be willing to look at the cellar door while we stand nearby and pretend to be discussing matters? Just check to see if you can open the door, maybe take a peek down there?”
((Waiting to see if Skip wants to do anything before I can post more))
As Rudick looks around, he doesn't notice anything out of the ordinary. As he turns his attention back to the group, he notices out of the corner of his eye something that strikes him as a bit odd. While the citizens of Vallaki hustle through the rain and mud, he sees a human man standing under the cover of an overhanging roof about 60 or so feet away. He is dressed in dark, non-descript clothing, and he blows on his hands as he rubs them together to warm his fingers. As the rain cascades of of the shingled roof in small rivulets, you can tell that he seems to be watching the party. Even though you are too far away to make out much details, you notice that he seems to realize that you saw him. He quickly turns and disappears around the corner of the building, vanishing from sight.
For maximum prudence, Sergei escorts Skip behind a hedge, out of view of the street, and quickly puts a hand on his shoulder, murmuring a few arcane words to cast invisibility on Skip.
“We’ll stay here on the street, you give me a tap on my arm or something when you’re all done examining things and ready to go. The spell will probably be broken if you do anything too drastic.”

"What a shame indeed" Alev snarks and bows to the lady in farewell before following after the others.
