This post has potentially manipulated dice roll results.
As written before, Khessa uses Detect Magic to detect any traces of magic in the house, while she expects to rely on Mal for an ordinary Investigation...
However, Khessa also tries to identify clues about the small Cult.

The lord marshal leads you to the nobleman's home which was outside of the walls of the keep. When he tried to enter, the staff did actually try to bar his way, but he along with his men didn't allow it and broke through. His guards rounded up the servants, "He was a bachelor," the marshal pointed out, rather upset that someone did in fact try to stop him. "He has no wife or children here, and to my knowledge none of his parents are alive. Thats how he came into his wealth."
As you investigate, it's a modest home with few decorations. If he was a nobleman, it was by his titles from his family, not his worth. As you detect magic, you find a door that leads to the basement. It is locked.
Khessa comments: "Oh, there is magic coming from behind this door... What a shame it's closed... I'd be so curious to know what lies beyond..." and she sets her blue eyes on Tyekanik and Mal... sure that each of the two, although with different methods, knows perfectly how to handle the situation...
"Since the owner of this place isn't coming back anyway..."Tyekanik grins walking up to the door to just give it a fireman kick ((athletics 23)) and then walking through to see what's on the other side.
The door shatters, and you see stairs heading down to the basement of the house. As you descend, you get the familiar feeling of oppressive dread that you felt in the old temple. You feel the taint of Slaanesh on the walls. At the bottom, it's the standard storage area for the house, extra furniture, dry food stuffs for the kitchen that has a layer of dust on it. It appears that the basement was sealed, or at least, the kitchen staff hasn't been allowed down there for some time.
At the south end of the room, there are three doors, one in the left wall, one center facing south, and one to the right. The magic that you have been sensing is coming from behind the door in the center.

While looking around ((perception 18)) Tyekanik blows the dust off of some of the dried food to see if there is anything to chew on while they explore.

You find some salami that is not moldy and is eatable
Khessa notices that the door is locked and steps aside, addressing the Hungry Giant with a wink: "I seem to remember that you have the keys, right Tyekanik?"

This time, just to play along, Tyekanik goes up to the door and grabs the handle attemping to push it open as if it were unlocked and the others were just doing it wrong ((athletics 33))

edit - omg again low roll... again minimum 26...
After a good couple of shoulder hits, the door gives around the handle that stays locked into the recess. The room you enter has been remodeled into a small temple. The walls, and ceiling are painted in purplish hues, the floor is black with a black alter in the middle. The alter has an arcane circle with symbols around it. Purple candles strand on tall candle stands. There is a black bladed dagger in the middle. The magic you have been detecting is coming from the alter.
Off to one side is a stand with a leather-bound book, a scroll, and what appears to be small implements of torture. The feeling in the room is oppressive, dark, and ominous. The very air has a tingle of energy in it, like a magical link was not closed properly.
"I think this Slaanesh altar needs... a generous offering!" Khessa snorts, perceiving the magic that it emanates. She, as she had already done at the secret base Zemoch, suddenly causes a very heavy block of platinum to appear above the altar. Falling on the altar, the block probably pulverizes it...
If by chance there are still emanations of magic in the room, the blonde arcane warrior tries to eliminate them completely with one of her Abjurations.
Once the altar and magic have ceased to be a problem, the tall adventuress announces: "It should now be safe to examine the place... I take a look at the other door... I thought I heard faint sounds moans from there..." and with this she goes to open the door to the right.
Impatient to help whoever might be there behind her, if she finds her closed Khessa this time doesn't beat Tyekanik, but tries to knock her down directly with a kick.

Akkron will also go ahead and take a look around the traitor's home to get some idea of what was going on.

Unhappy that the market got rid of individual purchases for one-off subclasses, magic items, and monsters?

Khessa brings the door to the attention of the others and wonders whether the magic comes from the door/lock or from behind the door...
[[ OOC: @DM: is Khessa able to determine this? ]]
The magic is coming from behind the door
Khessa comments: "Oh, there is magic coming from behind this door... What a shame it's closed...

"I sense magic coming from behind the door in the center" Khessa warns the rest of those present.
And, unless something catches her attention, the blonde arcane warrior is going to open that door...

Akkron is rather amused as he watches the doors of the nobleman's house get systematically shattered.
"I was starting to think I should have prepared the knock spell... but it looks like we already have that covered quite nicely," he chuckles.

From the door to the right, you hear the sound of a young women's sobs, and moans, as if injured.
