Bertolt watches the woman and frowns and does what he can to calm the woman, not putting much effort into it due to the fact he has no idea how-to console someone who thinks their child has passed away.
Erven picks up the small pouch, comes back to Mary and squats down again, shows her the pouch, the teeth and the hair. "Do you recognize this? Was this Gertruda's?"
After he hears her reply, he will stand and look at the others, say "Should we head to the Burgomaster's house? We will keep an eye out but I'm not sure there is anything more we can do here.."

A wizard is never late, nor is he early, he arrives precisely when he means to.
She cradles them, clutching them to her chest. She rocks back and forth, “Where are you Gertie?! Come back home please!” She looks at you wildly, “Ill give you all I have if you bring her back to me!”
This post has potentially manipulated dice roll results.
Talion crouches down near the woman and smiles reassuringly, "There there, mother, rest easy and we will try to help." He looks up at the others, wondering if that's the plan, but it seems to be, at least so far. "Can you describe Gertie...how old is she, when did she disappear...and do you know who might have taken her?"
In case it's needed to calm her or project calm/stability and to persude her to be more forthcoming.
She looks at you Talion, her eyes smiling. “Oh thank you. She is a lovely girl, long black hair, a pretty face - biggest eyes you’ve ever seen,” she descends into a fit of sobbing. “She went missing a couple of weeks ago, she never liked me keeping her in the house, I should have been more - oh, it’s all my fault for keeping her locked up! Please find her, I can’t bear the thought of her out there!”
Erven says "We will Mary, we will look out for her. We will let you know anything we find out about her. I'm so sorry for your loss." He heads toward to the door, ready to move on to the Burgomaster's house.

Mary looks at both Talion and Sho: “She was nearing 17 summers.” She sighs heavily, “She was so full of spirit, I didn’t want this place to take that away. I kept her in this house in the hopes of keeping her safe. And now, I may have driven her to this. Oh what have I done?!”
Bertolt nods despite the fact he had been inside for most of his own childhood, even though that had been my choice so he could read and study anything he came across. "If she is safe we will do our best to find her and if she is willing we will bring her back."
"Seventeen years and she'd never set foot outside of the house?" Sho raised an eyebrow. "I'm not surprised she ran away."
Mary sniffs then stiffens. “It is my fault. I accept this.” She struggles to stand. “You’re not from here,” she says coldly, “and I don’t expect you to understand.” She looks to those of you who said you would help and wipes her eyes. “Much obliged. I won’t lose hope for her but this is my fault. I thank you for your aid.” Her face breaks but she’s holding it together, “If you find her please bring her back to me.” She disappears into a room and you hear her climbing up the stairs.
Talion is unsure of how to proceed, but in his experience people are either abducted for slavery or flee to somewhere safe. Sometimes one was mistaken for the other. His lordship will likely know of the sweatshops and brothels in town. "Did she ever speak of someone she wanted to meet, or somewhere she wanted to go?"

Gertruda shakes her head, telling that her interactions with anyone in Barovia were extremely limited. Of course like any child she wishes to go everywhere but her mothers fear and worry anchored her to the house - almost exclusively.

Erven, you find a loose board and within you find a small pouch with some teeth and a few knots of hair made to look like a humanoid figure.

“Wha- th-those must be my Gertruda’s!” The woman makes to take them from you...do you resist?

No, Erven gives them to her, a look of sadness on his face. “I found a loose board in her room and they were there.”

"And why did you lock her up?" Sho asks Mary.
"....and you didn't say how old she was."
