Welcome to the Estate

It is a terrible misfortune, all these disappearances- but with a civil war on and all this strange Venatori and Red Templar activity- with the rifts in the countryside? People simply not appearing where they ought is a sad reality. Nothing to be done for it. That such an esteemed noblewoman has found herself unjustly accused simply due to her wealth and prosperity? Cannot stand. Comtesse de Veloney invited the Inquisition herself to investigate her manor and put the matter to rest- they are to be afforded all the cooperation and respect imaginable.

Even the mages. Even the elves.

They are met at the gate by a veritable delegation of footmen led by the Gardener and Tanner to see them inside and out of the stormy, dreary weather. Packs are secreted off to rooms (a lovely set of suites in the east wing if the Steward does say so herself), baths drawn (The Comtesse insists, it's been just dreadful and they've come all this way), and a lavish banquet prepared.

Well they can't afford to lose them, can they? Pamelia glances around before she spots the sconce and immediately reaches out to see if it swings one way or another.

Trusting in Garahel's powerful sense of smell if sight alone is not enough, Inessa looks over to Pamelia and the crooked oil lamp sconce. Please, Maker, let that be it. She had already broken her promise to keep Ophelia within sight, and had to make up for it as soon as possible.
