"And what of you ladies?" Ismark asks before finishing his wine. "Could I interest the both of you in a short trip to Vallaki? Your company, and your axe would be most welcome." he says with a smile at his attempt at mirth.

"Aye, you have me axe," Halo says. "Where is this sister o' yours?"

Ismark is pleased that the party will accompany him and his sister to Vallaki. After each of you finish your drink, Ismark pays the grim barkeep and leads you back out into the town. You head down the same street you just came up from and as you pass the house of the worried mother Ismark looks at the building oddly. "Hmmm... she stopped crying." he comments as he walks by and further down the street. He leads the group to the end of the road and a large mansion at its end.
"Home sweet, home." Ismark comments as he heads past the twisted gates.

"It's a miracle this place is still standing," Halo says. "Not for the lack of trying, from the looks of it. What's happened here?"

Digger grunts and shakes his head at the state of disrepair. One would suspect if they hadn't heard him speak earlier that he might be incapable.
His eyes narrowed and he gazed upon the place suspiciously.
Ooc: I will try Perception. Possibly with advantage if it involves undead. I will have EB roll.

A solemn expression comes over Ismark's face. "He sent his minions for my sister," the man says as he approaches the door and knocks once very hard. "They besieged us until I climbed out the attic and set fire to most of them from above."
Digger notes footprints among the trampled grass. Wolf, human, zombie, and ghoul.
A female voice can be heard from the other side of the door. "Ismark? You've come back?" she asked sounding frightened.
"No, whatever you do don't open the door." he calls out then turns to all of you with a smile and a wink.
The door slowly opens and Ismark leads the group inside.
"That must be the most stupid pass phrase you have ever thought of, and there..." she notices the group coming inside behind her brother. "Oh, hello."

"So, do we need anything from here before we head to Vallaki?" Irena inquires.
Liam takes his hat off as he enters the man’s house, as was polite. “Ma’am,” he nods to the woman, “We’re new in these parts, and your brother invited us on a trip to a safer town than this. I hope you don’t mind the intrusion.”

The armed and armored woman greets each of you politely. Her face shows the faint signs of exhaustion and her shoulders slump just a little under her silvery breastplate. She gives a warm smile to Tilly who is peeking out from behind her father. And then leads everyone into the living space away from the coffin and remains of her adoptive father.
"We need to take my father to the church, and see him consecrated and buried properly, before we go." Ireena says to everyone as they stand about the room.
"But..." Ismark starts to say.
"No! You have found plenty of people to be pallbearers. We must honor our father. To do any less would to become the same as the monsters that walk these lands."
Turning to the group she asks, "Would you do a dear and honorable man the honor of seeing that he is laid properly to rest?"

Liam looks to the corpse and back to their two hosts. “I’m not entirely sure why we were brought here, but I don’t think it was to carry corpses from one end of the world to the other. Just bury him outside. He ain’t gonna know any different.”
