Objects
You make a new fire and collect the objects.
Afer stumbling around in the dark, you manage to make your way back upstairs to the fireplace. Several more minutes later, a small fire is again going. With a new torch, you return to the cellar, collect the forearm, locket, and small figurine. The ornate standing mirror is too large to move, being easily nine feet tall and four feet wide.
Returning to the kitchen, you collect the four knives from the knife stand and assemble your new possessions on the counter before you.
Each of the knives is stamped with a small, unfamiliar emblem at the base; it seems to be a sawblade or gear surrounded by a circle. This design is about the size of a penny.
There seems to be a mechanism on the small figurine of a dancer; there is a windup key attached to the large base of the statuette.
The tarnished locket is stuck, but opens with a bit of force. It seems an old scrap of paper has been jammed into the locket. There are two small pictures inside, one on either side. On the left is a faded color drawing of a young girl or woman, curtseying before a short knight that stands about her height. They are both underneath what seems to be a tall tree or pillar. On the right, what appears to be the same girl is considering her face before a mirror. She has apparently just applied perfume and reaches towards her unsmiling reflection.
The scrap of paper reads:
When meeting those I've never met a simple rule applies
I regale them with flattery and treachery and lies
Appearances are everything beneath these silver skies
It seems so sweet I see it now to see it in your eyes.
