First the layout of the room, the wide spread dance floor with a long pair of stairs that wrapped around most of the room, which could no doubt provide vantage points for either friend or foe. There were two doors that they could see, one one the opposite end of the room beyond the dance floor, and a larger door at the top of the twin stairs, overlooking the rest of the ballroom.<br/><br/>Next they could see that while at first glance the room looked pristine, the closer they looked at the walls and stairs the more they can make out layers of dripping wax. It was more subtle than in the foyer, but it was there. One hanging strand in particular drew their eyes upwards to the chandeliers. They could see that that the chandeliers weren't directly mounted onto the ceiling, but were instead hanging from thin chains, and if they squinted they would see what appeared to be some kind of lock mechanism built into the mountings. The chandeliers were clearly rigged to detach, but whether this was designed as a trap or simply for construction purposes was unclear. What was clear was that the chandeliers were also covered in wax and candles, meaning even if they weren't originally meant to be traps, the witch could potentially tamper with them to be dangerous.<br/><br/>This is where Dahlia's observations end, but Arya notices one more thing. Up on the large central chandelier, there appears to be something nestled within it, hiding within the bright lights and glimmering crystals. It was impossible to make out the exact shape through all the light and sculpture, but she could tell it was big.<br/><br/>Nyssa and Taruviel again prove to be expert trackers, but there isn't as much to work with in this room as the last. They can make out several footprints and tracks, but due to the nature of the ballroom most of them are layered over each other in a way that completely obscures any sense of direction. Most of them match the general shape of the feet of the dancing dolls, at least as far as they can tell from a distance, though there is one set of tracks that seem to be heading up the stairs, as well as some tracks that appear less like footprints and more like stab marks in the floor.<br/><br/>However another complication presents itself. Unlike in the foyer the party does not have free reign of this room. From the doorway there is relatively little they can gain from a few vague tracks. It is possible for Nyssa and Taruviel to follow these tracks further, but in doing so they would have to draw closer to the dancing dolls.<br/><br/><hr/><strong>Nyssa</strong>may choose to continue acting upon her 21 survival check, but investigating further will require moving further into the room and will potentially put her in danger.
