The Manor

• Owned by Aleard Boleem

Grounds

• Patrolled by guards all hours of the day and night
  • The guards are relatively weak, but in numbers they can pose a challenge
  • If they notice someone that shouldn't be there, they will spend their first turn shouting for help unless interrupted
• The jack-o-lanterns in the garden have a belt across their chests enchanted with [Prestidigitation] to permanently make their cloaks flap like in the wind

1st Floor

• Entranceway / Coatroom
  • There's a raven figurine above one of the coat racks
• Dining Room
  • Place settings for 4, but its clear that only one chair has been used in some time
• Sitting Room
  • Less opulently decorated than the other sitting room, this is usually where the trader spends his time.
  • There is a tray of several expensive-looking spirits next to the fireplace
• Second Sitting Room
  • Looks like its primarily used for entertaining guests, opulently decorated
• Kitchen
  • Clean, but not spotless, there are two servants in here preparing a meal
• Storage Room
  • Full of less-perishable goods, spirits, and some low-quality booze that the servants keep in here
• Pantry
  • Less full of perishable goods, seasonal fruits and veggies
• Servants Entrance / Mudroom
  • There are 4 ragged-looking coats here
• Servants Quarters
  • There is a servant sleeping here

2nd Floor

• Landing Room
  • One of the walls has a large slash mark on it, like a hand with 3 claws
    • Its badly repaired and still fairly obvious
• Study
  • This is where the gem they're looking for is
    • Its locked inside the desk in the study, DC 22 Disable Device check to bypass it
    • Breaking or otherwise forcing the drawer makes a noise loud enough to alert the trader
  • There is a Bag of Holding I on the desk
• Master Bedroom
  • There is a Volatile Vaporizer (2nd) here (3,000gp)
  • There is also a fair number of various hard drugs that the players will be able to identify as hallucinogens if they sample them
• Tuner Room
  • Full of cobwebs, its clear that nobody has entered this room in some time
  • In this room is a small Tuner
    • The owner of the house purchased it to hopefully calm the angry spirits here, but it didn't have much effect
• Empty Bedroom
  • There's a line of some white powder under the doorframe
  • There b a ghost in here combat encounter
  • Scale that bad boy down to 5d6 corrupting touch
• 2nd Empty Bedroom
  There's a line of some white powder under the doorframe
  • There b another ghost in here combat encounter
