Kira decides that the coat, while warm, isn't quite suitable for her size, and lets Silver have it. Perhaps he can get it resized when they get back to Baltimare, and perhaps Kira can get herself a properly sized coat for herself.

The industrial buildings look interesting. Silver goes off to investigate them, as Kira investigates the natural areas just outside the town.

There is a kind of boiler beneath a large tank, and a steel ladder to reach up to the top tank and pour things in, and then pipes carrying fluid away from the tank and to be placed in oil drums. The whole thing is made out of steel that is somewhat rusted.

Posey knows what blood smells like, and she has experience executing sleezy ghoul merchants who tried to sell off kegs of watered-down/bootleg blood in magehold: this is her calling.
Posey examines it closely, to determine it it is really blood.

The second cottage is similar, with the name "Sovesal To" in block letters above the door.

Inside, there are a couple made beds, and one that is clearly disturbed. There are empty bottles of vodka on the floor. The floor is visibly scratched and there appears to be blood.

There are minor items like a lamp, a pocket watch, an ice pick.

Here too, there are notes torn and thrown on the floor.

Posey checks to make sure it's real, authentic blood.
She also gathers up the notes, and checks for any hoofprints that could indicate where the prior inhabitants went.

Cavaliere picks up the papers, including the ones in the northern script, and stows them in his backpack, except for the ones in Ponish which he holds. He enters the second cabin where Dust and Posey are.

"What do those notes say? They are probably not in Ponish and I cannot read the northern language some of the other notes have."

Cavaliere waves over Silver and Mala to have a look, and once the group is together he passes around the first two notes. He explains,

"These aren't Stalliongradians Stalliongraders? Stalliongraduates?, the marines, or any prior residents. These were griffon sealers who found this whale and presumably owned that boat. They were staying here until February, but the fact that they left these buildings like this indicates that either they are still here and are in hiding, they were forcibly picked up, or they're dead."

He then talks to Posey, interrupting her staring at the watch. "You told us you are some expert on dead bodies, not quite a coroner but in a similar field. Is it within your capability to determine what species this blood belongs to?"

To Silver: "Can you make anything out of this?" he asks as he claws over a document in the Norwegian-analogous language.

"Can you tell what it's from, big guy?" Posey says, as she hands him the watch.
Posey scrutinizes the blood, and looks for any prints that could let either of the rangers use their track feat to locate the creatures involved.

You've clearly never tried virgin blood. We take blood tasting very seriously in Magehold.

When Poset cedes the pocket watch, Mala reaches out with his paw as quickly as he can, grabs it, opens his mouth, and places it in the back of his mouth in a single fast action. It's a smaller than average pocket watch; maybe he could have swallowed it. Mala then turns his head to meet his eyes to Posey, and he pulls it out. He has a clearly embarrassed smile on his face.

"Thank you...."

He looks away.

"If it's from today, it's likely that whoever left it is still here. Hopefully our colts are still alive." Posey says
"It's also plausible that they were dragged away from here by monsters. Check for any signs of a struggle, so we can know what we're dealing with."
I'll also roll appraise on that Ice Pick, to see if it's masterwork (potentially magic).

"It's also plausible that our colts may be involved. They're Marines, and they likely don't know that they're being rescued. If they're alive, they likely looked for logical sources of shelter on the island, or supplies from the ship to keep warm and build their fires."

The bones belong to multiple marine mammals, specifically pinnipeds, presumably seals or sea lions.

The boots are of a style not consistent with pony boots.

Screw it, I'll flip those two results:

The boots are griffin boots, like what is used in especially fish processing.
