The Valley of Ends

Gotch done with detect magic yet?

The party can mill around for 10 minutes, nothing's leaping out of the blue.

upon detect magic, Gotch looks around is is bombard by colors. The manor itself is conjuration magic and whie the fires that provide light gives off evolcation. The servant also gives off conjuration magics. 

"He speaks truth, this entire place is magical in nature."  Gotch informs the group, moving with them to look into the moldy dining area.

Seeing no immediate danger, Fingolin dropped the invisibility as the others conversed. 

He asks the servant: "Your master must be magnificent to own such an abode. What was his expertise? How long ago did you last see him?"

"The master is a paladin of highest grade. I saw him not too long ago when he was handling the last party of guests," The servant states. his arms are behind his back as he stands as straight as he can at attention.

Upon closer inspection of the kitchen, Gotch sees everything giving off the same conjuration glow and stranger is on the table, one plate is of his favorite food through very rotten. The other plates varies greatly with no theme to the dishes at least to Gotch.

Turning back to the servant, "How long ago was it you last saw your master? What was your masters name and what guests was he handling?" Resfaen asks.

The servant tilt its head in minor confused posed, "As I have spoke, my master is Sir Ergion Valeworm. It was a few days ago? Time does not reflect time outside so I may be mistaken. The guests were like yourselves, they came into the manor in large numbers, They were responsible for that mess," The servant points a gloved hand the barricade, "The master had to discipline them,"

„I understand that people with different origins may behave differently, are there any rules we should be aware of while we are guests here? And how can we leave again? No offence, but is got compelled by some magic to come here.“ 

The servant seem to shrug, "I know what I've told and seen. I have not been educated on the details of the master's rules. I merely follow his commands as they give them. As I am part of the manor I never had any intent to leave,"

Salys will say very politely, "May we be introduced to your master? It would only be polite of us to present ourselves to the master of the house, after all."

"I have only been order to greet people as they come in and handles master's meals when ordered," The servant stated, "That is all,"

"Shall we see if we can find the master then?"  Gotch asks the others.  He glances around the kitchen to see if there are any other doors there.

"If you wish to see the master, he would be in his chambers behind that barricaded door," The servant states, "I personally am unable to clean up that mess,"

"Where are the people who came here before us?" 

(i assume the door is baricaded on our side)

"He put them to sleep with his blade and throw them into a side room. The master is the master of the manor so he can move the rooms as around as he wishes. He moves a room for the guest and move it back I believe,"  The servant explains as he waves at the wall with the fireplace.

The door is barricaded with tables, bookcase and chairs on your side. 

"How did those guests offend the master of the manor? We should probably want to avoid making the same mistake..."

"How they offended the master was beyond my scope so I can not assist," the servant explains. 

"Well, just as well clear away this stuff..."  Gotch says, starting to remove the items blocking the door.  Once done he would knock ont he door.

The party spends the next few minutes clearing th barricades away before pushing the bookcase out of the way. Gotch walks up to the door and gives it a knock. Afterward a few minutes there's no response and with a quick check of the knob, the door is locked. 

Salys will give it a check to see if the door is simply locked mechanically or magically and if it is trapped.
