Froskan tries the door on the west side of the hallway, and it swings open with a creak. The party enters.
This is the master bedroom. Or it used to be. The fancy bed (bigger than king sized) has been shoved into the southwest corner, and has a thick layer of dust on top. All the small, loose furniture in the room (like footstools and table lamps) have been tossed on top of it.
Between the two doors along the eastern wall are raggedy wall shelves and 2 flimsy tables (5' x 10'), with dozens of beakers filled with different fluids and substances.
What was a magnificent rug in the center of the room is stained with blood and other fluids. All along the west wall are various creatures that have been dissected, their limbs staked spread-eagle, their chests and skulls opened. Various daggers and scalpels have been left on the floor.
(Everyone: Let me know where or what you want to look at. Or if you are staying away from everything... At the same time, give me a generic d20, in case I need to make an Arcana, Investigation, or something other roll.)

(Yeah, better too many rolls than too few... Checking out anything in the room will require getting closer to the objects, so Trim won't be able to notice much from the doorway. But he is watching the hallway.)

This post has potentially manipulated dice roll results.
Reverie enters the room and then starts to look around the Master Bedroom, wondering if there is something that she could get a hint of this mansion's owner's fate.

Jack goes back to the Plate Armor, to study the runes inside and see how it animated.”anyone here know about runes more? FRoskan maybe. You cast magic.”
Since Froskan was a little slow to speak up, he gets voted to investigate the flayed creatures along the western wall and floor.
Reverie: The bed in the corner hasn't been used in months, maybe years. Someone had converted this room into a laboratory. With a few exceptions, the footprints around the room belong to the same pair of (fancy, humanoid-sized) shoes, using both doors to this room. There is enough dust that no one has entered the room in the last 2 weeks.
Iskander: Fortunately he was very cautious about staying away from the beakers, because the tables were very poorly built. (Think of those need-to-be-assembled tables at Target or Ikea, but put together haphazardly.) The act of opening the drawers causes the tables to collapse and bump into the shelves, which also crash down. Isk avoids getting splashed. Some of the fluids start eating through the table (acid), some have turned spots of the carpet into stone, and other spots have turned into flesh(?!). The drawers are filled with empty flasks (now broken) or small medical instruments. No notes... Iskander finds an intact glass bottle filled with some kind of unfamiliar jelly. The wax seal around the cork has the symbol of Eldath stamped into it. This bottle was purchased in town. (All the other bottles appeared to have been used in whatever experiments were going on in this room.)
Froskan: The dissected bodies are unpleasant to look at, but Froskan identifies the beings. (All of them are completely dead.) He notices that there is a rough grouping to the bodies: constructs created by magic (homunculus, scarecrow), petrifying ability (cockatrice, basilisk), and animated metal & earth (stone golem, helmed horror, gargoyle).
Trimyrai: Jack is about to head back to the pile of armor, when Trim hears voices and metallic clanging from the entranceway. He rushes out to discover 5 kids banging on the armor with sticks and kicking parts around the room. When they see the 2 adults rushing them, they run back through the open front door, taking the squashed helmet with them. They are gone, but not before making childish insults at the strangers in the creepy mansion.
Jack: After Trim & Jack get the kids out of the house, Jack looks over the body of the armor. The arcane runes are scratched, or flaking like old paint, now that the magic is gone. But there is enough to tell that this armor was animated by magic to act as a guard. It was not possessed (like some party members were speculating before entering the house)... Although there is a lot of damage, plate is still an expensive armor. With some work and resources, the dwarf Pyrick could probably make a usable suit of (non-animated) armor from this.
(If any of this is confusing, ask your questions. Otherwise, discuss or decide what happens next.)

Isk leaps back as the table crashes down and the fluids splash around everywhere. "Ho, look out! " he shouts, and glances about the room. "Some nasty stuff in here, you guys be careful with what you poke and prod."
Trim guesses they came in through the front door. They looked like the other well-dressed, well-fed kids that you passed on the streets on the way to this house.
Jack is able to grab the cloak of one kid, a 6 year old girl, but it turns out she had a music box under her cloak instead of the helmet. She is squirming to get loose, and inhaling to scream if Jack doesn't let go. The other kids are like jackrabbits, and quickly disappear into the neighborhood.

”Hey!” Jack turns her around to face him. “Don’t be a thief. That’ll get ye arrested. It is wrong, because thieves become killers, killers become murderers, and murderers become dead. Don’t go down that road.” he pushes her away. “Now go. And don’t do that again, or i’ll Have to arrest ye with someone.” He then walks back into the house, and shuts the door. “So. What else were we going to do?”
Jack hums a little tune as he turns back to the house.
After entering, Jack closes the front doors and drops the cross-bar, so it can't be opened from the outside. (You could lock it with the key, but then it would take longer to exit if you were in a hurry.)

"Someone might have used this room for their experiment before. The bed hasn't been used for quite a long time, but then the footprints..." Then she looks back at Iskandar when he shouts.

She asks, "I guess we should check the other rooms. I am curious about this two-doored room."
