Are they unaware of the PC's presence and they are there just "by chance". If so, how will things change when they become aware of the PC's.How about having the rooms come off a corridor. Once the PC's open a door they will run into an encounter. However, the noise of that encounter will bring other creatures out of other rooms into the corridor (assuming the creatures are unaware of the PC's before this time). Alternatively, you could stage it around a large central foyer/staircase up from the first floor (a la Matrix reloaded). This would be a lot more complexe to handle of course.Regardless, I would probably avoid the "sequence of rooms" approach. I can't imagin may houses that would have such an arrangement. How about a clust of interconnected rooms. If you can find some mansion floorplans on the net etc, you may be able to plan around that.Hope that helps.</blockquote>
