"More servants of the mistress I am sure" replies Jovik as he searches the bodies and the room.

The room holds nothing of interest, although there are lots of broken bits and bobs (the usual things one would find in a sitting room).
The townhouse is three storeys, so the ground floor you have explored, and then two more. It is time to move on.
The move through the rest of the house is slow and methodical, but also very uneventful. Jovik take the lead, as usual, stopping, listening, moving forward silently, signaling for you to join him, room by room.
The second floor contains a small landing; several paintings have fallen here, a guest room; The bed’s mattress is slashed open, and the footlocker upended and emptied of its contents, and a library; hundreds of mundane books litter the floor.
The third floor contains only two rooms. The Master Bedroom is a large room has been thoroughly ransacked.
Finally there is the Master’s Study: The exotic zebraskin rug on the floor here is worth something (perhaps 20-50gp?) and strangely remains intact when most other things have been broken and slashed. The bed and
chair are torn apart, and the desk and foot-locker have been looted.
There is an ornate fireplace mantel. This mantel is decorated with two roaring lion heads at either end. You recognise the lions as matching the one on the key ring that you found in Foxglove Manor (the keyring to the very key that opened the front door to this house).
