"Sure thing!" - Chantilly quips, before heading once again toward the lodge.

The party returns to the lodge. This ancient building has a wood and plaster upper floor over a fieldstone lower floor. Its shuttered windows are all closed. In places, the roof is overgrown with moss. A single door stands slightly open out front. Smoke pours from one of the three large chimneys.

"Well, I'd just go and knock on the front door, but I'm sure you wouldn't approve that, so... Recon lap around the building to see if there are other entrances?"

"That seems smart," Eliana says. "If there isn't another way in, then the front door is our only choice. Someone has to be there though with the smoke from the chimneys."

Chantilly nods before starting to circle around the building, while always maintaining the cover offered by the woods.

Behind the lodge are what appear to be two small buildings--a stable and a kennel from the look of them. There is also a backdoor, but unlike the front door, it is completely closed.

While Chantilly is out scouting around the Lodge, Henry looks around (mostly towards the woods) so that those patrols won't take the group by surprise. While waiting for Chantilly to come back, he shares his thoughts with the ones still there "Should also think what story we want to spin if we are questioned."

"Well, we are still dressed like cultists," Eliana says. "So we might be able to work with that. Though, telling anyone about what happened before we got her is probably a horrible idea."

Chantilly snaps her fingers and makes Gale appear. - "Hey, little buddy, I need a favor. Go take a quick look at those two buildings and see if you notice someone or something inside. Don't get too close though, I don't want no dog or else eating you."

Gale flits off to investigate the two smaller buildings. The kennel is a stone outbuilding with a mossy roof and no windows. The solid oak doors at either end are nine feet tall; the whole thing resembles a small barn. The stables, meanwhile, are currently empty but they look like they could hold up to three mounts normally.

Chantilly recalls Gale and goes back to the others to report her findings.
"Well, there is another door but it's closed. There are also two other buildings, one is a stable and it's completely empty. Maybe we could rest there? The other... I'm not sure of what its function could be, and I couldn't look inside it."

"I would suggest the stable. It seems the safest right now," Eliana says.

"Sure, but I would be quite suspicious if I found people wearing the Order's colours camping in a stable. I mean, the Lodge does seem spacious enough to accomodate many people; why would any Children choose to rest in an empty stable?" Henry asks, not really convinced of hiding inside the stable "I just say: better have a story ready if we are discovered. And if someone starts asking too many questions, it would be wiser to..." that said, Henry gently taps on the hilt of his sword.

Eliana looks to Henry and nods. "Wasn't the front door to that place open?" She asks. "Did you, by any chance, just peak inside?"

"Maybe we could just rest a bit? We could wait for the night, then maybe it will be safer to try and get inside the lodge."
