The outside of the manor is rather imposing with a large stone building and two immense guardian sculptures on the outside depicting mythical beasts. There are also small gardens to the left and right.  The main path itself is a cobbled one that only beckons visitors if they are worthy enough.

I sniff, and bark. Then I look at master to see if he wants me to go after the smell. Usually the smell leads to a new exciting creature. I don't like cats.
Woof! I smell the food already! Do you know the way? Just follow the cobbled pathway!  I see, this is my first time to this manor. The statues are a bit different to say the least. They're to weed out the cowardly, unworthy folks. As long as I do not upset the queen as is well. Did you bring a gift? Guests should not enter without the proper respect to the hosts.  I most certainly did, I have heard the rumors. Woof! Good human. What rumors have you heard?  Simply that the queen might have a bit of a temper you could say.... Hmm, that would explain the occasional shouting I hear coming from inside.  It may yes, I have heard some have lost their heads.
