Manor of Origin

Environment
Upon opening the west door, the party can see by the the light of Charlie's candelabra a short hallway ending with a window looking outside.
On the north wall are two doors, they north appear unlocked. One is near the western door, the other near the window at the end of the hall.
On the south wall are two more doors. Both unlocked. One near the western door and the other near the window at the end of the hall.
Not a sound can be heard.

It is far too dark for Charlie to see anything outside.

Each member of the newly formed party posted up at one of the doors. Their hands on the doorknobs, trembling slightly with anticipation, waiting for the command to breach. Will they discover the source of the noise, or will they be disappointed and find absolutely nothing out of the ordinary? Which outcome would be more favorable? The tension has reached its peak.

Environment
1: upon opening the door you see what appears to be a neglected nursery. Toys are strewn about on the floor, a crib sits in the corner covered in dust.
2: upon opening the door you find would was likely once a child’s bedroom. The walls are covered with faded paintings of pirates and sea monsters. Faded yellow scraps of papers litter the floor, some with childlike drawings, toys and other such things. On the far side of the room is a fairly large bunk bed.
3: upon opening the door you find what was likely a master bedroom. In one corner of the room sits a large vanity with a shattered mirror. On the other a queen sized bed and some end tables.
4: upon entering the room you find a cozy lit fireplace that is surrounded by book shelves and reading chairs. The shelves are floor to ceiling filled on each wall, several are stacked high on the floor.
Not a soul in sight

In the library Gharn starts sorting through the books. There are far too many for one man to look through, let alone read, so he picks a corner and skims book covers. Most of them are on fairly mundane topics, including sciences, histories, mythologies, and other fictitious works. However there appear to be some useful things sprinkled among the nonsense. Gharn eventually lays his hands on Classification of Spirits.
Elena, who was struck by the oddity of a lit fireplace in a murder mansion, looks closer within it. She finds that the fire is not being fueled by regular fire wood, but rather pieces of a broken chair and pages that seem to have been torn out of a book.

As Charlie fiddles about in the nursery, his mind seems to focus on the crib. He can't seem to leave it alone, no matter how insignificant it seems. At a cursory glance nothing was wrong with it, but Charlie ripped up the built in comforter with a knife, not sure why.

To his surprise he finds a hollowed out compartment, clearly dug into the thick wood of the frame with a knife, it contains an eerie looking leather bound book titled Refinement of Magical Circuitry by Makiri Zolgen, and another letter with the seal of the Doll.
