Ruby will again carefuly walk through the hallway to the door, trying not to make a sound on the creaky floor. She tries checking the walks for any kind of thieves cant symbols but gives up, seeing their way too damaged.
She will put her ear to the door listening to any sounds that might be coming from the others side before she starts checking it for traps.
You're able to make your way to the door as silently as a shadow. You put your ear to the door and hold your breath. You don't hear any sounds coming from the other side of the door.
All - The hallway to the left extends another twenty feet before opening up into a large foyer at the front of the house. There are doors on either side of the hallway.
Ariana has her quarterstaff out, ready for any surprises. She continues to creep closely behind Ruby in case she's suddenly needed by her. She also can't shake the feeling that something could be behind them, and worries about Daveth and Wake. A chill tickles her spine and she shakes it off, taking a deep breath to re-center herself. Stillness, Ariana, she thinks to herself in her teacher's voice. She continues moving forward with conviction.
Kulogall allows others to pass, moves more to the back with Elwyn. He takes the time to cast mage armor and his cloak shimmers and seems stronger, as if it could deflect blows.

A wizard is never late, nor is he early, he arrives precisely when he means to.
"You can go check out that large room over there, if you want. This might take a minute anyway." she says to the rest of the party behind her and points to the foyer at the end of the hall. Then she goes back to working on the door. "But be careful if you do, who knows what´s in here."
"Could it be that you recognize this place from any of your visions Kulogall?" Elwyn suggests to the triton as they slowly progress deeper into the haunted mansion. New perception if needed: 15
The door appears to be safe and unlocked. You haven't heard any noises coming from the other side, but you do notice footprints in the dust and patches of mold in the hallway. They appear to head down the hallway toward the main foyer and into the room behind the door you were inspecting. The footprints appear recent.
Daveth says to you, "I've got your back Ruby." and nods to the door. He wields his sword and shield and stands ready to act.
Ariana - The hallway leads into a musty, dirty entrance hall. To your right, a corridor leads into the west wing of the house. The walls are bare and bits of smashed furniture lie upon the floor. Ahead of you, you see the front door of the house. A staircase on the eastern wall climbs to the next story, reaching it at a balcony that overlooks the entrance hall along its north and west sides; the stairs appear safe to climb, though the balcony rail is broken in several places. Under the stairs at the north end of the hall, a third corridor leads east.

Elwyn moves as silently as he can after Ariana into the entrance hall ready with his crossbow. Stealth: 11 "Whereto next Ariana?" He whispers to the half-elf.
"Looks like someone was recently walking through here, there's footprints." Ruby points them out to the others who are nearby and peeks inside the room she just opened. She will try and follow the footsteps if the room seems save enough.
All - You see the footprints Ruby has pointed out in the dust and patches of mold in the hallway. They appear to head down the hallway toward the main foyer and into the room behind the door Ruby was inspecting. The footprints appear recent.
Elwyn & Kulogall - You see that the footprints head westward down the west hallway and also around and up the staircase.
Ruby - This kitchen is dirty and damp, with patches of gray mold and cobwebs on the floor, walls, and ceiling. In the southwest corner is some iron cooking equipment with a chimney above. Next to it, under the window, is a cracked and discolored stone sink. To the right of the sink, a small, closed wooden cupboard is fixed to the wall about five feet above floor level. Against the far wall, a flight of wooden stairs leads upward from west to east; the woodwork of the staircase is decayed, and a few of the treads are missing. The footprints you noticed earlier seem to lead to a door in the wall to your right.
"Be careful Ruby." Elwyn whispers from the back.

Ariana steps past Ruby and stops at the next door, listening carefully for movement.

“This place, it’s so odd…. Creepy, yes.. but somehow, … familiar. I can’t quite place it.” Kulogall says quietly, musing to himself.

Kulogall considers and says “Maybe, perhaps. I can’t place it, just seems somehow familiar to me. Just a feeling.”

Ariana peeks up at the balcony from the floor to ensure no one is there. She then creeps down the hallway to the east, listening at each door.

"Umm, maybe we should stick together folks." Elwyn says, motioning for Ariana to follow him back to the others by the kitchen.
Ariana nods and follows, whispering that she's detected nothing.
