Welcome to a Thursday night where we get to look at the top layers of Ruesford Manor. But what’s this? a secret staircase leading down. What lies in the dark under the manor? I guess that’s pretty easy to guess if you’ve been following along with the other posts this week. But instead of talking about it let’s sit back, grab a coffee and delve in!

This week we had a manor investigation, a secret room and what looks to be a house big enough for several people – but only one reported person lives there. Complete with a few locked wardrobes, a locked chest and a secret stairway hidden by a bookcase secret door.
The secret door is triggered by the statue, in this version, in the same room (top left of the map). There is obvious discoloration where the bookcase on the wall (next to stairs) swings to meet the vertical aligned bookcase to reveal stairs down.
The main entrance has a larger sitting room on the left with chairs and a fireplace. Opposite is a guest quarters with a bookcase, wardrobe, bed and a sitting desk. The kitchen is central to the house with a bedroom for a servant or maid. And a kids room nearby. Stairs lead to the main bedroom above the servants quarters too.
The kids room is accessible by the centre of the house but the door is locked. Toys and kids clothes populate this room but little else. The dining room leads to the study where the secret room can be found.

Thanks for dropping in to look at another map created in Inkarnate. I get unsure about creating houses and urban battle maps as they seem to be go one of two ways for me. In fact they either go poorly or “I guess this will do”. But this week I think I did well and so am pleased with how it turned out. Don’t forget to come back the next few days as we wrap up this weeks adventure. And as always, don’t forget to roll with advantage,
