At the back of the house Hawke found a wild, overgrown garden. There were flowers, herbs and a few mushrooms that he was certain were poisonous. Still, it was clear at one point someone tended this garden for some reason. He walked around to the front again and frowned at Blue.
"You've found something quite interesting, my girl." Hawke went around to the front door and tried it. No luck. It was quite firmly locked. That was no matter.
Hawke drew raw force into his hand and blasted the door off its hinges and into the house. A cloud of dust came billowing out. He waved a hand in front of his face, coughing to clear his throat. Maker this place hadn't been used in ages. "This is a truly terribly idea."
Hawke swung his staff around to the blade side and went through the door with the weapon ready. They would never solve the mystery if they didn't go inside.
