Nothing up here. Looks like this place was last used during a storm of some kind. It bugs me a little that these door are all unlocked, yet everything else is sealed up.
Kiryu will head north to the next door, hoping the next building will shed some light on this mystery.

Maura steps back to the door and takes a deep breath through her nose, savoring the fresh air.

Alkonost: Inside the bedroom is a large unlocked chest at the foot of a wooden pallet bed. A boot rack is against the wall of this bedroom as well. Searching the area you find a silver pocket-watch and a traveling spell book tucked under the mattress. The weapon and armor rack stand empty. The silver pocket-watch has writing on it in a language you cannot read. The spell book is likewise unreadable (without the read magic cantrip), though inside the spellbook is a spell component pouch attached with a brass ring.
Kiryu & Variel: These two long, rectangular buildings are constructed entirely from planks on a wooden frame, with a pitched thatched roof. Each building has two door frames on the side of the buildings opposite the palisade, but lacks doors. Four window frames open into either side of the long walls, a few of which have no cover and others only a canvas draped across the inside. A partial view of the interior is possible from the doorways. Inside, the floors are hard-packed earth, and along the walls are wooden bunk beds. Many of the pallet beds are covered with blankets that now gather dust. Those beds have sacks or tied bundles of clothes sitting at their feet. As you search the bundles you find some clothes and blankets, as well as some mundane gear such as shovels and spades.

Not a Noob
Alkonost will gather the items, taking time to remember their original locations to return them later. He’s not interested in looting, but thinks these items may hold some significance to someone with the intelligence or occult sensitivities to examine them thoroughly. Alkonost will leave the cabin and head back to the main square and offer the items to the party:
I found these things in a bedroom in that cabin over there. The plate reads 'Arkley.' Perhaps they may help one of you solve this mystery, I'm better used clearing cabins, if anyone would like to join me.
He heads south east again, to (BX, 66)

Maura joins Alkonost and leafs through the spell book with read magic.

Maura: The book contains the following spells, which can be copied by anyone who can use a Wizards spellbook
Cantrips: Arcane Mark, Detect Magic, Disrupt Undead, Jolt
1st lvl: Snowball, Monkeyfish
2nd lvl: Aboleths Lung, Protection from Evil (communal)
you also find the name "Hendrake" inscribed on the front cover with an arcane mark. Knowledge local check to see if you know anything about the name, though you don't recall having heard the name offhand.
Kiryu: You don't detect any magical aura's in the building.

It's a wizard's spellbook. Which isn't useful in itself, but there's a name. Have you heard of Hendrake? The name doesn't mean anything to me.

Alkonost and Eko: This long, rectangular building appears to be a home, though larger than many beyond the palisade to the south. It has three
windows, all covered with wooden shutters, and a single door facing northwest, which is unbarred and slightly ajar. Simple wooden furniture is in disarray throughout this residence. Tables and chairs are knocked over and pushed aside, though none appear willfully broken. Articles of clothing and household items are scattered across the floor as if they were examined briefly and discarded. A large pallet bed is visible in a separate room through an open interior door. A third room with no windows is next to the bedroom but is completely empty. You find a trail leading from the front door away from the building, as if something was rolled away.
Kiryu: You detect at least two magical aura's emanating from a bag at the NW end of the building. As you approach something from underneath the bunk bed bites you.
!roll 1d20+4 #Bite on Kiryu (vs flat footed)
!roll 2d4+1 #Bite damage
