Darius casts a scrutinizing eye on Jarnath after the cobbler's laughter subsides but he is unable to determine anything useful from this. Jarnath appears to be at least mentally unstable if not downright insane. Turning his attention to the room around him, he sees many objects that might have personal meaning to the cobbler. There is a small painting above the fireplace that shows three people. One of them is obviously the cobbler and the other two are no doubt his wife and daughter.
Dane sifts from on foot to the other, obviously a little uncomfortable. "Uh, sir, would you mind telling us what happened to you? We'd like to help you if we can."
Jarnath, still standing by the window, turns to face Dane. "Help...me...?" he asks haltingly, seemingly seeing for the first time that others are in the room with him. "No help...for the...damned," he says. "They've died but...are they really...dead? Is death forever?" After these last statements, Jarnath turns again to the window and begins to laugh again, sounding completely insane. After a few seconds his laughing subsides to giggles and he says, "Death will come for me soon..."
While the group questions Jarnath, Thrarn finds two other rooms off the living area. Both are small and are bedrooms. One was quite obviously the bedroom of a young girl. There is a chest of drawers along one wall and a small bed along another. On the bed are a couple of dolls. Strangely, the window which once contained a dull glass, is broken. Small, muddy footprints can be seen scattered around the room, and a concentration of them is under the window. The other bedroom is obviously that of Jarnath and his wife. The room is messy, as if no one has taken care of keeping it clean lately. The bed is unmade and there are some clothes scattered on the floor. A bed rests along the west wall, a chest of drawers on the east wall and a small table stands next to the bed.
Outside the windows of the house, the gray light has mostly dimmed as night has fallen.
