You look around for a plank you can light. There's plenty of twigs, but the chunks from the well cover are too chunky. You could peel a board from one of the buildings and try to break it along its length.
You grab a bunch of twigs and twist them together into a little twig-cage-torch, stuff the inside with dry grasses and leaves, light it with your Engraved Lighter, and toss it into the well.
The wavering circle of light falls past the well's rugged stone walls. With all the shadows, smoke, quick descent, and the bad viewing angle, you can't tell much about the walls. The brand falls about 30' and lands on some leaves, which begin to burn and smoke. The smoke begins to rise slowly out of the well. The well is about 4' across.
You check out the shed in the SW. It has a stone rear wall with some kind of forge or furnace built into it. The roof and side walls are wood timbers with vertical planks on the walls and horizontal planks on the roof, holding up the slate tiles. The front is open. Very rusted forge implements hang on the walls and are laying on the ground, sometimes embedded in the dirt and leaves.
The forge itself is clearly of much higher quality than the stone wall behind it. It looks like it was made out of a single huge stone.
Between the barn and the shed there's a roof extension that collapsed onto a bin of coal.
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]
Two-Storey Tall Square Building Open Space
[West, overlooks cliff] Barn Well Entrance Gate [East, down to road]
Smithy Shed Lodge Cottage
[South]
You're at the shed.
The area is quiet.
Claire, Charlotte, and Pearl are here. Everyone is completely covered in blood.
