The doors to the barn owl baron baker's villa open on their own. A pleasing aroma of bacon, broth, beans, and barbecue waft out, beckoning you inside. Once beyond the threshold of the entry, the doors close themselves behind you, locking you inside. You turn to try the door in panic, then suddenly a throaty, Scandinavian-seeming voice booms from behind you. You didn't hear the barn owl before he appeared in a flash of bluish green flames that then light the well sconces of the otherwise pitch dark hall.

Misty, otherwise known as Sir Vyvre the Lone, a self-dubbed count and baron of his domain, hoots softly as he gestures for you to follow him to the elaborately decorated dining area.
