The very last steps of the descent turned out to be uncertain for you – you had an extremely vague idea of where to go next and only guessed that the entry to the mansion itself would be somewhere ahead.
Almost blindly you had to move on. More than once you stumbled over something on the floor, but whether by the will of luck, but you kept your balance. In the end, you stopped when your shoulder brushed another staircase that led up. You went upstairs without hesitation, and only at the moment when your eyes began to distinguish objects again, do you realize that you have entered the warehouse. A completely small room where there was a free exit, presumably to the kitchen or dining room – the furniture indicated this, as did the kitchen items. The second exit was closed by an ordinary door. You didn't see the lock on it.
After a quick look around, you noticed that there are a lot of boxes here – on the shelves, as well as on the floor, which could have contained anything, but now they are opened and empty.

You carefully pass on, still holding the crowbar in your hands. So far, you don't notice anything too strange, except for a dark spot on the wall on the left side. It's like someone burned something there, but there are no other traces anymore.
The hallway, as one would expect from a person who had wealth, looked decent, with a certain taste, but not too cluttered. Bench at the entrance: it was decorated with sculptures in the form of disc-shaped creatures resembling lions, however, the sight of the sculptures themselves for some reason made you want to stay away from them. The work of the master was felt so strongly in them that they seemed alive to you. And not too friendly. Burgundy walls, richly decorated with patterns, complemented several paintings. You also noticed two wall candelabra, but then you distinguished the outlines of the hall.
It is quite obvious that there was not a single door between the hall and the hall where the sculptor probably met the guests. However, they were still on the left and right. And led to different parts of the mansion.
