"A little surprise can be fun every once in a while." Gray said with a grin, though he supposed he should leave the recklessness to people who knew what to expect from these Nightmares. Just because the other ones had been pushovers didn't mean there weren't tougher ones.

"I'm ready if you are." Gray said, nodding to her as he opened the door, peering in cautiously. "I don't think anyone has been here for a while." He said, entering. The dust was thick enough to choke on, and there was debris everywhere. "You think we're the first ones here?"

"Once in a while, but when it becomes normal...then you have an issue." And the Nightmares were becoming normal. She nodded at him, regarding being ready, gun in hand as she peered in also, before walking in behind him.

"Probably not. I know there was interest in coming and exploring this place. We are probably not that far behind them." She examined the room they entered, looking for anything showing if anyone was ahead of them. Or, anything dangerous.

"It'd probably be a pain if they always show up." Gray agreed, surveying the room, hands tucked in his pockets as his Pricklemane clambered back up onto his shoulder.

He was a bit concerned when there didn't seem to be anyone else around, especially considering how many people had mentioned exploring the place. "Yeah, I wonder if they found anything." He kicked at a bit of the rubble. "Feel like going through one of those?" He asked, gesturing towards one of the three doors leading to different rooms. This room seemed deserted, and he wasn't opposed to exploring the whole place.

It’s obvious from the first glance at the foyer that this place used to be something large and grand. Glass cases are placed by the doorway, and dual alicorn statues stand at attention along the walls, guarding twin staircases that lead to an open upper level. Sadly, now the mansion is simply just big. Three of the four glass cases have been shattered or are missing entirely; only the fourth still stands, holding its treasure of what looks to be ancient golden pottery. The floors are covered with debris, the statues coated with dust, and in one corner of the room several dinner plates lay cracked and forgotten. There are three doors here: two are on the upper floor at opposite ends of the hall, one on the right and one on the left; the third door is on the lower floor. Be careful - there are Nightmares here, and they won’t hesitate to knock you down a flight of stairs.

Ziva walked in, immediately using her empty hand to pull out a small flashlight, ingrained actions from crime scenes. Watching as Fluffy landed on one of the alicorn statues, she poked around the still full glass case. Why leave those here? Her brain was spinning, already putting together hypotheses about the place.

"Why not? Have a preference?" She said, looking at the doors herself. She kept her eye on Abby, who was poking around on the staircase, probably trying to flush out any Nightmares that hadn't shown up yet.

Ziva seemed as if she'd done this before, her actions seeming practiced as she investigated one of the glass cases. Gray didn't want to bother, since it seemed like whatever had happened here had happened a long time ago and there wasn't much left of interest.

"How about that one?" Gray suggested, pointing to the closest door to them, the one leading down to the lower floors. "We could start from the bottom and work our way up. You up for exploring the whole place?"

Ziva turned to shine the flashlight on the door Gray was pointing at. It seemed just like the others. And, maybe going from the bottom up was a good idea.

"Sounds like a worthwhile plan to me." She said, walking over to stand near the door, Fluffy flying and landing on her shoulder. "I do wonder what happened here."
