Skeletons in the Closet

"I want to check upstairs.  That is where Rohkar supposedly stayed," Casia emphasized once again.

Milos was standing next to a door on the lower level and opened it exposing a bedroom.  The bed was completely rumpled, no blanket was there and the sheets were yanked around.  There was a chest in the room along with a door to the east.

"Let me check for traps before we open any more doors," Jorgen said confidently as he strode into the room and up to the door.

Amadeo was standing by another door but he waited before opening it.

The Lodge

Milos took Old Man Dansby's body to a secluded part of the forest and said a few prayers over it before trying to cover it with rocks and stones.

Casia warmed by the fire, her cold weather gear hanging near the flames to dry out as quick as possible.

Santrel check the hat and found no residue of magic on it, nor was the illusion surrounding the snowman any longer.  He also placed the arm of the Taldan soldier, encased in ice, near the fire.  As it melted the longsword finally was freed and the party could see its nice sheen.

After around two hours the Casia put her gear back on and the party prepared to follow the trail further.

The Talking Stag

Milos examined one of the hanging clumps.  It appeared to be something wrapped in a piece of leather connected with pins.  Milos pushed one and it moved in a pendulum motion on the string it hung from.

"Santrel is it magic?" Fanara asked.

"It appears normal to me," Santrel said after focusing on one for a minute.

Milos pulled one of the bundles down and began to remove a pin or two.  The leather pulled back and revealed what seemed to be black feathers.  He continued pulling out pins and then saw two feet and the edge of a wing.

Pulling the leather completely away Milos found a frozen solid crow.  It had blood from several wounds one of which had a broken tiny arrow still embedded in it.
