Whether you saved the stablehand and horses or not, you must find the Baron close to the burning structure, and try talking to him. He is sotted, and can’t be reasoned with; pummel him into submission with your fists and feet.
With knowledge of the Baron’s violent behavior, tell the Baron he already knew his kin ran away, and choose any of the main conversation choices depending on how disgusted you are with the Baron (this only affects his verbal responses). He recalls the time Anna fled; a grim recollection of a bedchamber with blood everywhere. It was there on the bed—a stillborn. There was little else to do than take it outside and bury it. Now this child has turned. It is a botchling, with a blood bond still strong between it and the Baron’s wife. This is the key to finding Anna and Tamara. For now, you wait until midnight, and dig the tiny corpse up.
