The Manor

Walking past the carriage house you see and wave to Magian as you proceed to the gatehouse. The structure is 2 stories tall, square with 50' to a side, and has a parapet on top suggesting there is a roof access as well. The back has a single door and only high small barred windows on the first floor. The second story windows all have shutters covering them.

The door proves stuck but with a bit of added magical might Skeeve manages to, not open the door. It is either stuck tighter than his Onyx magic can move or locked.

Now that you are closer you notice the wooden door is in good condition, being built of solid dense wood with metal banding, hinges, and handle with a keyhole. There is no response to knocking. Looking the door over you estimate it has been a long time since it was used based on the dust and leaves piled in the corners by the weather.

The rope easily slithers up the side of the building and ties itself around a parapet stone.

Ealdwig is able to unlock the door, which was not trapped, and then opens it to reveal . . .

A ROOM!!!!!

The room has a large table in the center of the room. A simple oil chandelier hangs above the table. Next to the door on the east wall a fountain engraved with geometric patterns still tinkles with running water. A tapestry of arcane patterns hangs from the west wall.
