You limp to the servants' quarters, putting as little weight on your leg as possible. It appears rather similar to the upstairs guests room hallways, although far less decorated. There are far fewer rooms than there are servants, meaning it is likely that they must share rooms. It doesn't take long for you to find one of the maids tidying up the hall. She practically screams when she sees your leg.

A few minutes later, you're in one of the unused rooms having your injury tended to. Several of the servants seem to have experience in treating wounds. Apparently, injured guests are not that uncommon in the Fortesia manor. Probably not a good sign. The gash in your leg is treated with a salve, covered, and wrapped in gauze. Your ankle is only sprained, it seems.

"This should let you get around more easily," says the maid as she puts a splint on your ankle. "However, you should probably see a professional healer. You're lucky we still had some supplies on hand. That Redguard wasted most of the salve."

Redguard?

"One of the Redguards was in here earlier," she explains, seeing the puzzled look on your face. "He had a rather nasty cut on his chest, about the length of your forearm. Madame Fortesia brought him in and told us not to ask questions. I assume it was just another one of their 'business deals', and the fool probably tried to cheat her. One of the other girls managed to stitch him up, but he wouldn't stop complaining about the pain and kept globbing the salve on."

After the maid finishes with your leg, you thank her for her help and leave the servants' quarters. So one of the brothers was injured, likely by Madame Fortesia. What is going on in this place? As you head back into the parlor, you're able to better take in the first floor. The parlor is mildly illuminated. It's bright enough to find your way around easily enough, but it's obvious they don't expect guests to be wandering the halls at this hour. The study is still open, but there isn't anyone in there. The dining hall is closed off. You could, of course, go back outside into the back. The rain is coming down pretty hard though. The basement door is now being guarded by two of the guards. Finally, you could always go back upstairs, and go to one of the rooms.
