It wasn't hard to find the mansion.  It was a massive building that rose a half-dozen stories in to the sky, and took up an area large enough to hold a dozen or more smaller houses in a poorer part of town.  A ten foot high stone wall surrounded it, with trees and other vegetation visible rising within.  The gate was a massive wooden construction with, as the man had indicated, an intricately carved gold dragon on the front of it.<br/><br/>A pair of small towers stood to either side of the gate and just behind the wall.  Each was tall enough that anyone within could look down on the street while being safe from easy attack.  As they approached a guard wearing a masked helmet, shaped to look like what might have been a demonic or at least twisted dragon, stuck his head out.  He stared for a moment, then spoke with a voice that was muffled as it came from the small hole at the mouth of the mask.<br/><br/>"You here to clear out the infestation?"  He ventured, though even muffled his voice didn't sound certain.
