High above the river valley juts a quiet promontory upon which looms a sepulchral mansion, its turrets capped with fairytale cones, its towers lined with sculpted battlements. A third of the structure has collapsed, as has part of the roof, but the rest appears intact. A dark, octagonal tower rises above the surrounding architecture.
Out of the fog comes a distant peal of thunder, quickly accompanied by the howling of wolves in the woods below, but the house stands silent, seeming like the fossilized remains of some long-dead thing smote upon the mountainside.
As you approach the mansion round path way in the front you see. Perched atop a ten-foot-wide, ten-foot-high cube of granite is a moss-covered statue of a dragon, its wings tucked close to its body. The statue looks east, toward the mansion.
This post has potentially manipulated dice roll results.
Manneo - Setting down Greenleaf and Ireena he looks around at the mansion in front of him and says, "I am not sure why I expected something different, but...I did." He will walk up the pathway towards the door in order to to see if it is even safe to go inside.

Mr. Greenleaf - Letting go of Manneos ears so he can place him on the ground Flyn will dust himself off. Looking up towards the dragon he will promptly move towards the door "OH... OH.. I wonder what's inside." Moving up to the door Flyn will crack it open and listen to what's inside.
Flagstone steps flanked by stone railings climb to a landing in front of a pair of tall, wooden doors with rusted iron bands and knockers shaped like small dragons. Carved into the lintel above the entrance is the word Argynvostholt. As you approach the steps the dragons mouth opens and lets out a blast of cold air but you all take no damage.
Skorn shivers from the cold air. Looks like that trap has seen better days. We should move on inside, before those wolves decide to get a little more brave.

Back and ready to DM and chew bubblegum. And I'm alllll outta bubblegum.
This room feels like a king’s tomb. A grand staircase leads up to stone balconies held aloft by stone pillars and arches. A tall, faded tapestry depicting a nobleman in silver armor hangs from an iron rod above the staircase landing.
Six sets of double doors lead from this foyer. Along the walls, displayed on marble pedestals, are three alabaster busts of handsome men. A fourth bust and its pedestal have been knocked over, and their shattered remains lie strewn across the mosaic floor. Two chandeliers of wrought iron hang from the ceiling like monstrous black spiders.
Skorn will pull out his warhammer, comforted by the weight of it in his hand, and tighten the grip on his shield. 'Tis too quiet...let us look around, but stay on your guard. He'll walk to the first set of doors on his left and open them carefully.

Skorn will get a closer look at the statue: investigation 13

Does Ireena have a way of defending herself? If not I will loan her my light crossbow-w-bolts.

As you approach the statue you see that it may have once been something important but it looks really withered and old now

You can't hear anything inside
Torvin will move with Ireena to join the others at the door

You open the door to reveal a dark foyer
This room feels like a king’s tomb. A grand staircase leads up to stone balconies held aloft by stone pillars and arches. A tall, faded tapestry depicting a nobleman in silver armor hangs from an iron rod above the staircase landing.
Six sets of double doors lead from this foyer. Along the walls, displayed on marble pedestals, are three alabaster busts of handsome men. A fourth bust and its pedestal have been knocked over, and their shattered remains lie strewn across the mosaic floor. Two chandeliers of wrought iron hang from the ceiling like monstrous black spiders.
As you enter you see A great shadow with wings moves across the walls and disappears. You hear the soft bestial hiss in the darkness.
You see two double door entrances to the left and right of you and then another set to the left and right of staircase as follows:
__ __ door __ __ door
__stairs leading up to second floor
|\ Entrance * pillar * pillar |||||| stairs
____ stairs leading up to second floor
___ ___ door ___ ___ door
