The door doesn't open, so you try the handles... the doors open into a wide hall which runs the width of the house. A lit black marble fireplace dominates one end of the room and a sweeping, red marble staircase at the other. Mounted on the wall above the fireplace is a longsword with a windmill cameo worked into the hilt. The wood-paneled walls are ornately sculpted with images of vines, flowers, nymphs, and satyrs.
Ralg, Shake, and Raxin notice the walls have wood panels ornately sculpted with images of vines, flowers, nymphs, and satyrs. Ralg points to the wall then to Nikya and grunts something unintelligible, before moving on to inspect the sword. As he pulls the longsword off its mount Shake notices the delicate filigree inlaid in the blade is silver*.
DM Note: The sword is a longsword. In addition it has the "silvered" property.
gabe will inspect the walls and see is he notices anything 19
You notice the same designs as the others, but you scrutinize them a bit harder and find there are serpents and skulls inconspicuously woven throughout. The panels continue along the wall to a previously unnoticed coatroom set in the eastern wall and up the red marble staircase at the southern end of the room. You also notice an alcove with two worn (but still beautiful) oaken doors -- one leading east and one south. A delicious smell that makes your mouth water and your stomach rumble wafts out from under the southern door. Across from the cloakroom set in the western wall you see another oaken door. Finally, as you glance over to the others looking over the sword you see another set of double doors with stained glass (also set in the western wall).
DM Note: I added the first floor map to make picturing the house a bit easier. You're all currently in 2A. Main Hall.
Raxin will look around, tapping the floor with his staff muttering under his breath. He snaps his fingers and summons his minion.
...What does your minion look like normally?
Minion is an imp, small and red with scars (from Raxin although nobody knows this)
Your minion appears when summoned, but he looks different than normal... his skin is considerably paler and he looks gaunt an skeletal. Where his old scars are located are instead wounds that look fresh and weeping. Instead of the glowing eyes you are used to seeing, you see dead empty ones..
"the front door is gone" It has turned into a solid wall? We can't go back out?
When we were outside the house, were interior lights visible or did the lamps light when we came in?
"Fiction is the lie through which we tell the truth." A Camus
You didn’t see any lights from the outside. The lights didn’t come on until the door shut, then reopened once you stepped inside.
The door vanished as if it were never there.

Ralg will head for the next set of doors and stand before them, waiting for them to open like the front door did

Ralg probably wouldn't give much thought to the wall, but his passive perception is 13.
He would inspect the sword and if he can remove it from the wall, he would grab it and take it down to inspect it closer.

Shake looks around for anything that might be valuable, paying extra attention to the sword.

Nikya will inspect the walls, do they remind her of the feywild?

Your not too used to being inside... walls are odd in general to you.

What roll to determine if Ralg knows the importance of a silvered weapon?
