Front Hall

[The Haunted House, Front Hall]
Dark red candles burn in small braziers on either side of the arched doorway, the myriad of rugs spread across the floor awash with the eerie light. Several chests line the sides of the small room, watchful eyes painted above them on the completely black walls. Shadows run deep in every corner, relentlessly assaulting the imagination with images of childhood monsters.
You also see a black iron door and a thin clerk.
Obvious exits: east, west.

Study

[The Haunted House, Study]
Standing in a battle-ready position with both hands gripped on their swords, a row of empty plate armor lines the northern wall, which is hung with moth-eaten purple drapes. On the southern side of the room, a skeletal horse with a fleshless knight mounted on its back is poised toward the armor, making the only path to the wares pass directly in the line of fire of both sides. Thin floorboards have been painted a dull grey, doing little to hide the extensive wear and tear.
You also see a tall silverwillow rack with several things on it, a solid ironwood table with several things on it, a dark steel stand with several things on it, a plain wooden shelf with several things on it and a tall willow rack with several things on it.
Obvious exits: west.

Bedroom

[The Haunted House, Bedroom]
Rather well lit with a single bright candle set in a grubby lantern, the room is laid out with several pieces of furniture, which are arranged neatly. Though antique at best, the pieces lining the room are masterfully carved. Each has a somewhat sinister air about it, the arrangement of chairs and headboards throwing sharp shadows on the walls in macabre patterns. Treacherous holes in the floor are precariously patched over with thin boards, offering little safety.
You also see a gaunt clerk.
Obvious exits: east, west, up.

Attic

[The Haunted House, Attic]
The cramped room resembles a large crawlspace underneath a peaked roof, with the sharply slanted ceiling intersecting the floor on the eastern side. A single candle is set on the sill of a frosted window, throwing the room into a myriad of light and shadow. Cobwebs clutter every corner of the small room and drape over dreary pieces of furniture.
You also see a nervous clerk.
Obvious exits: down.

Kennel

[The Haunted House, Kennel]
Several cages are dimly visible in the poorly lit room, their doors tightly bolted. Shining eyes blink out from the darkness, some natural and some seeming otherworldly, glowing red and standing out in the darkness. A low brazier burns in the corner of the room, doing little to chase away the oppressive shadows.
You also see a small battered sign and a frightened pet merchant.
Obvious exits: east.


A small battered sign reads:

   the fine pottery is in fact haunted
   and that some of the pets are dead.
