Harvey grins triumphantly then shouts.
" The doors open!!! All it needed was a gentle touch.... and a big boot. "
Go inside and search room 1 for anything useful, or small and valuable. Or melee weapon like.
In the hallway you open the first door on the left and start looking around. The previous residents were apparently using it for storage.
There is a lot of junk here, old rusted water tanks, broken looking bicycles, various boxes and a large cabinet.
You start searching (1) pulling boxes off the stacks and opening them. The first several are depressingly boring. Some blankets, a box of children's toys, some cheap crockery. No weapons or anything worth more than a few cents.
Use tools (hammer, for instance) to remove nails from all the ground floor windows.
You go inside. You open the first door on the right and look in. ((Room 4, Living Room))
(4) It's a living room, there is a couch, some stuffed chairs, a radio and some shelves with knickknacks. (Idea 6) You notice an unusually large number of crucifixes, images of the Virgin and other Catholic symbols. It seems a bit heavy handed even for the devout. Through an opening to the left you see into the area, which appears to be the dining room.
Seeing nothing threatening you continue with your plan and proceed to the windows. (6) You use your tools to pull he nails from the three windows in the living room. You are fast and efficient, but mar the paint a few times. The windows will open now if you unlatch them. ((consider it done if you want that))
Go inside, and go upstairs.
You make your way inside, and finding the stairs are the end of the hall you accend. You find yourself on a small landing. There's a door nearby to your left. Ahead of you is a long hallway with 3 doors on the left and 3 windows on the right.
"Oh merde..." He puts his hands to his mouth and shouts "YOU DO REALIZE THIS HOUSE BELONGS TO OUR EMPLOYER, RIGHT?" He shakes his head, ah well, what's been done has been done. He's sure doors don't cost that much anyway.
Go inside, go downstairs, and search the area. If there is no downstairs, search the living room.
((By downstairs you mean look for a basement? retcon available if I misinterpreted.))
You look with concern at the door on your way in. (6) You notice that besides the key operated one there are no less than 4 manual deadbolts on the inside. They look new. The door might be salvageable. It looks mostly like the anchor screws for the added locks in popped out of the wood. Maybe you can ask Boganski if he can fix it.
You can see the stairs up at the end of the hall, but none done. You start opening the hall doors one by one looking for one that leads down. You get to the last one, which happens to be opposite the stairs going up. If there is a basement this must be it.
This door too has an unusual number of deadbolts holding it closed. Although these ones are on your side of the door so you can easily open it if you wish.
