Janek looks around at the various doors leading off the room. And his eyes linger with interest on the longsword hanging above the fireplace. Finally tearing his attention away, he looks at the staircase. "Continue upstairs then?"
Durant removes the light from his holy symbol so as not to cause a distraction figuring it likely isn't needed. He responds to Janek, "Aye, let's see what's up there, I don't hear anything. I'd like to check out these other rooms on the way out by the by"
Perception: You do not hear any sounds, besides the sounds being made by you and your group, coming from other parts of the house. Stealth: You are super quiet, somehow side stepping the creaking boards in the house. Investigation: As you inspect the paneling on your way to the stairs, you do notice that inconspicuously woven into the designs are serpents and skulls. You also see a door that looks a little different than the others, it appears that it could lead to a closet. ((If you choose to check it out before heading up to the stairs, let me know.))
Janek follows Durant up the stairs. "Agreed. Upstairs first, then we'll check out downstairs." He is not particularly trying to be stealthy, but does keep an eye out. ((Perception: 10))
As you inspect the door, you can't seem to find anything that looks like any sort of trap, so you slowly open it, and as you do so, you are faced with.... a closet. More specifically, a cloakroom. This Cloakroom has several black cloaks hanging from hooks on the walls. A top hat sits on a high shelf.
Janek, having paused on the stairs as the others did, gives Ignatia a nod. "Clothes in a closet. Ready to head up now?" He prepares to follow Durant once he continues.
"eh, ain't nothing to cover up anymore" rubbing the bald top of his head "Let us keep moving, we may be able to help the parents and child still" worriedly continues up the stairs.
As you all make your way up the stairs, you come to the main hall. Unlit oil lamps are mounted on the walls of this elegant hall. Hanging above the mantelpiece is a wood-framed portrait of a family.
Standing suits of armor flank wooden doors in the east and west walls. Each suit of armor clutches a spear and has a visored helm shaped like a wolf’s head. The doors are carved with dancing youths.
The red marble staircase that started on the first floor continues another floor up. A cold draft can be felt coming down the steps.
A set of double doors sits on either side of the room and a singular door did sits by the stairs from which you came up.
This post has potentially manipulated dice roll results.
Janek turns to the others, "We wanted the second floor, right?" He takes a step forward towards the nearest standing suit of armor, taking a closer look at it. (Investigation: 21 - to see if he can see anything unusual about the armor, well, besides the wolf heads.)

Vorser nods in agreement with Durant, allowing the others to climb the stairs first before following up.
Ignatia side-eyed Durant, " Yeah.....your coming off a little culty. And believe me...I've been in a few."
She sketched the insignia and examined the wall panelling as she headed up the stairs.

Ignatia halts and turns back heading over towards the wall with a curious expression.
She checks the strange door she has found to determine it is safe to open, and if it seems to be...does so.
Investigate: 24
Seeing Ignatia turn back from the stairs, Vorser holds off on ascending the stairs.
”What have you found Ignatia?”
" Not sure? A closet?"

Durant stays on the stairs while Ignatia pokes around the secret room she's located "You've got a good eye there Ignatia, anything of note in there?"

Ignatia scooped up a cloak and the hat and held them up for Durant to see....
Janek, having paused on the stairs as the others did, gives Ignatia a nod. "Clothes in a closet. Ready to head up now?" He prepares to follow Durant once he continues.

" Anyone want a hat?"
She puts on one of the cloaks and follows them.
"eh, ain't nothing to cover up anymore" rubbing the bald top of his head "Let us keep moving, we may be able to help the parents and child still" worriedly continues up the stairs.

" Yep, we should keep heading up. If the parents and baby aren't there I'm all for setting the place on fire........unless we find a library."
