Searching the long unused room for any other entrances that might not be clear to the eye, you don't find any other way out except the stairs you came down. Heading back upstairs, there are four doors to the east. An alcove in the east directly next to the stairs has a door directly opposite, and one on the southern wall. Further north of the alcove is two more doors.
You enter into the Northwestern end of a clean, tidy kitchen. All of the dishware, cookware and utensils are neatly placed on shelves. There's a worktable in the south end of the room, which spans ten feet wide north to south which, which has a rolling pin and cutting board on it.
Near the Eastern wall, about fifteen feet, and also the other side of the room, is a stone, dome-shaped oven. It has a bent iron stovepipe connecting out to a hole in the ceiling. Behind the stove and to the left is a thin door.
In the Southwest corner, opposite where you come into the room, there is another small door, with a small bell next to it.
Roselina was glad that at least Jodrith listened to her as they headed back up the stairs. She continued to follow the guys, wondering if the children's baby brother is asleep since she isn't hearing any crying or whining like most babies do coming from upstairs.
Going through the other door in the small alcove, you arrive on the Southwestern side of a large dining room. In the centre of this wood-panelled 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 itself is covered in resplendent silverware and crystalware polished to a dazzling shine. Above the marble fireplace at the North End of the room, a mahogany-framed painting of an alpine vale is mounted to the wall.
The walls are also carved with elegant patterns that depict images of deer among trees. At the East end of the room, three large red drapes cover three windows, and a tapestry depicting hunting dogs and horse-mounted aristocrats chasing after a wolf is bolted with an iron rod to the south wall.
"This house isn't the house of just some average person. Fancy portraits, fancy furniture, someone of some type of importance has to be the owner of this house." Jodrith walks about the dining hall a bit looking at everything.
Going up the stairs Jinhazar arrives in an unlit elegant hallway. Hanging above the mantlepiece on the north side of the room is a wood-framed portrait of a well-dressed family. A man and a woman with two smiling children, that look familiar to you. In the man's arms, you notice a swaddled baby, which the mother regards with a hint of scorn.
Two suits of armour stand either side of a double door to the east, and another two stand either side of another double door to the west. Each of the four suits of armour clutches a spear and has a visor helm that's shaped like a wolf's head. Both sets of doors are carved with dancing youths.
There is a smaller door, to the south on the eastern wall, at the top of the first-floor staircase.
The red marble staircase that started on the first floor continues to spiral upward on the opposite side of the room.
[OOC: If anyone wants to post before I move forward, will wait until 9th May before responding to the above post, or sooner if everybody gets back with what their character is doing. At which point I'll move things to the next room :)]
Vrakvroth follows the rest of the group as they move through the house. As they move up to the second floor he stays behind until the rest start up the stairs. He is last to ascend the stairs, acting as rearguard.

Jinhazar follows Jodrith close, like uncomfortably close
Before leaving the downstairs Vrakvroth looks around carefully.
"Perhaps there is a secret door? "

Searching the long unused room for any other entrances that might not be clear to the eye, you don't find any other way out except the stairs you came down. Heading back upstairs, there are four doors to the east. An alcove in the east directly next to the stairs has a door directly opposite, and one on the southern wall.

Jodrith will open the door on the southern wall.

In the Southwest corner, opposite where you come into the room, there is another small door, with a small bell next to it.
"Just a kitchen, next door then?" Jodrith asks of the group.
"Lead the way good man. We will find the secrets of this house."
Roselina was glad that at least Jodrith listened to her as they headed back up the stairs. She continued to follow the guys, wondering if the children's baby brother is asleep since she isn't hearing any crying or whining like most babies do coming from upstairs.
Jodrith will then go ahead and move to the door across from the alcove next to the staircase and begin to open that door.
Going through the other door in the small alcove, you arrive on the Southwestern side of a large dining room.

Jinhazar leave the dining room. He walks up the spiral staircase to the second floor.
Going up the stairs Jinhazar arrives in an unlit elegant hallway. Hanging above the mantlepiece on the north side of the room is a wood-framed portrait of a well-dressed family.

There is a smaller door, to the south on the eastern wall, at the top of the first-floor staircase.
The red marble staircase that started on the first floor continues to spiral upward on the opposite side of the room.
Noticing that Jinhazar took off up the stairs Jodrith will go to follow "Guess we are done with this floor."
Jinhazar walks up to the portrait for a closer look. Perception:9
After which he goes to the door on his right while facing the portrait.
Taking a closer look at the painting, there is a small plaque at the base. It reads "Durst Family".
Jinhazar notes the name in a notebook and walks towards the doors on his left when facing away from the portrait.

Jodrith is following Jinhazar closely for he doesn't want him travelling through the house alone with the dangers of it unknown to us.
Vrakvroth follows the rest of the group as they move through the house. As they move up to the second floor he stays behind until the rest start up the stairs. He is last to ascend the stairs, acting as rearguard.
