"Well, at least we know for certain, that this is indeed the children's home, for what that information is worth" Arbrist tells the others, "These pictures are dead ringers for those kids, though that does not really help us much", he says, and, slightly later, adds: "Though, considering the ruse the old lady tried to pull, it is nice to be able to trust that these children are not luring us into robbing someone else's house or something".
“That is good to know, but we must be wary. There is a monster here, if the kids are to be believed. Let’s make our way to the attic.” Mituna pushes forward, attempting to find a staircase or way upstairs.
A wide hall runs the width of the house, with a black marble fireplace at one end and a sweeping, red marble staircase at the other. Mounted on the wall above the fireplace is a longsword with a windmill cameo worked into the hilt. The wood-paneled walls are ornately sculpted with images of vines, flowers, nymphs, and satyrs. The decorative paneling follows the staircase as it circles upward to the second floor. There are several doorways visible from the main hall entrance. One next to the main hall entrance, one directly across the main entrance, one to the right of that and one tucked near an alcove by the stair end of the hall.
Arbrist looks over the doors and, entirely at random, chooses the left one so that they will not stand in place for too long. He attempts to open the door
Upon opening the door, you enter what appears to be a dining room. The centerpiece of this wood-paneled dining room is a carved mahogany table surrounded by eight high-backed chairs with sculpted armrests and cushioned seats. A crystal chandelier hangs above the table, which is covered with resplendent silverware and crystal-ware polished to a dazzling shine. Mounted above the marble fireplace is a mahogany-framed painting of an alpine vale. The wall paneling is carved with elegant images of deer among the trees. Red silk drapes cover the windows, and a tapestry depicting hunting dogs and horse-mounted aristocrats chasing after a wolf hangs from an iron rod bolted to the south wall.
This post has potentially manipulated dice roll results.
"Huh, guys, this place seems to have been richer than it seemed at first", Arbrist tells the party, then surveys the room, hoping to see something of interest.

Nothing out of the ordinary as far as you can tell. The silverware and crystals in the chandelier might be of some value.
Mituna calls out from her position. “That’s great and all, but we should focus on the task at hand. Someone still lives here, remember. Let’s get up to the attic.” She then attempts to find a staircase up.
Mituna calls out from her position. “That’s great and all, but we should focus on the task at hand. Someone still lives here, remember. Let’s get up to the attic.” She then attempts to find a staircase up.
You notice a large spiral staircase at the far end of the hall, opposite the fireplace. It leads to the second floor, carpeted and the styled wood paneling continues up the staircase.
You open the door and you find yourself in what appears to be a kitchen. The kitchen is tidy, with dishware, cookware, and utensils neatly placed on shelves. A worktable has a cutting board and rolling pin atop it. A stone, dome-shaped oven stands near the east wall, its bent iron stovepipe connecting to a hole in the ceiling. Behind the stove and to the left is a thin door. There is also a smaller door, about 2 ft square, about midway up the wall on your right near the corner. Above that smaller door, you see two bells with small plaques above them.
Mituna just stands impatiently at the bottom of the stairs, waiting for the party and tapping her foot. “When you are finished stealing from this poor family and are ready to move, we have lives to save!”
"I am with Mituna here", says Arbrist, "We should hurry to find whatever we are here to fight, however, this does not mean that we should compromise on being as careful as possible".

A wide hall runs the width of the house, with a black marble fireplace at one end and a sweeping, red marble staircase at the other. Mounted on the wall above the fireplace is a longsword with a windmill cameo worked into the hilt. The wood-paneled walls are ornately sculpted with images of vines, flowers, nymphs, and satyrs. The decorative paneling follows the staircase as it circles upward to the second floor. There are several doorways visible from the main hall entrance. One next to the main hall entrance, one directly across the main entrance, one to the right of that and one tucked near an alcove by the stair end of the hall.
Perzival approaches the alcove
As you approach the alcove, you notice a second door. There are two doors now. One on your right and one in front of you.
Arbrist looks over the doors and, entirely at random, chooses the left one so that they will not stand in place for too long. He attempts to open the door
(Are you following Perzival?)
Following and then overtaking, yes.
Upon opening the door, you enter what appears to be a dining room. The centerpiece of this wood-paneled dining room is a carved mahogany table surrounded by eight high-backed chairs with sculpted armrests and cushioned seats. A crystal chandelier hangs above the table, which is covered with resplendent silverware and crystal-ware polished to a dazzling shine.

For Athenios:
I open the small door
"I am with Mituna here", says Arbrist, "We should hurry to find whatever we are here to fight, however, this does not mean that we should compromise on being as careful as possible".
Perzival voices his agreement
