(By the way, when I change the "map" it doesn't mean I'm saying the place has been completely cleaned out and is finished - I'm just giving more information about it than you can see from the outside. Consider it to mean "we've been in there".)
You ask Charlotte to check out the loft, and she climbs up the rickety ladder expertly. She returns a few minutes later shaking her head and descends.
You head out and into the two-storey building next door. Inside are shelves of dusty bottles, bins of hardware, and tools.
The building is drier than the smithy and many tools are still in usable condition despite the surface rust. There are axes, sickles, a plough, carpentry hammers, and various less-identifiable tools. Other goods are far gone, such as dry old rope and a couple rotted saddles.
The bottles are either narrow-necked with waxed corks, or squat jars with hinged lids. You'd need to open them to identify the contents, for the labels are peeled off and faded white.
The bins hold things like nails, bolts, hinges, bricks of soap, bricks of beeswax, rolls of dry twine and thin wire. These are generally rusted together into solid chunks, though the soap and wax for example could be good still. Beside the bins are great sacks which have been torn open. Nothing from inside remains.
A hall in the back has a staircase leading up, a door under the stairs, and a side room off the hallway.
The compound is arranged like this, with descriptions you can tell from the outside, or a more detailed italicized description if you've explored it:
[North, overlooks bridge]
Store Tall Square Building Open Space
[West, overlooks cliff] Stable Well Entrance Gate [East, down to road]
Smithy Shed Lodge Cottage
[South]
You're in the store, ground floor.
The area is quiet.
Claire, Charlotte, and Pearl are here. Everyone is completely covered in blood, and Pearl is also caked with black coal dust.
