Horace uses his occult knowledge to modulate the harmonic frequencies of the sonic barrier, opening a passage through it and allowing you to safely enter the manor through the front doors.
Paintings adorn the walls of this octagonal entry hall, some reaching almost all the way to the ceiling. There seems to be no rhyme or reason to the art’s curation, as the paintings’ subjects range from portraits of well-dressed people to landscapes to abstract shapes. Closed wooden doors, each carved with music notes, stand in four of the walls, with the door to the front yard hanging open on its hinges. Light filters in from a skylight in the arched ceiling twenty feet above, and a thick, slightly rumpled red carpet crisscrosses the floor. Three marble statues of a beautiful androgynous figure stand between the interior doors. You recognize the figure as a depiction of the empyreal lord Arshea.
The statues of Arshea animate after a few seconds, moving to defend the manor!
OOC:
You may try to get the guardians to stand down by presenting them with a religious symbol of Arshea or by reciting an Arshean prayer and succeeding at a DC 32 Religion check. Failure will result in combat.
