E5 — The Observer’s Stair
This guarded stair overlooks the upper level and provides the house with a commanding view of every approach. Characters can cross by etiquette, stealth, misdirection, or force, but prolonged hesitation lets the mansion prepare a response.

The Stair’s Unwelcome Witness
Use this as a second, distinct mixed creature encounter at the Observer’s Stair. The stair landing gives the creatures vertical separation and makes every approach visible through the house’s mirrors.
- 1 Air Scamp — darts along the stairwell and uses cutting wind to push creatures away from the landing.
- 1 Shade — PF monster ID 7210; remains near the upper landing and treats anyone looking into the mirrors as an intruder.
Creature sources: Air Scamp from the PF2 search results and Shade PF monster ID 7210. Neither creature is used in the first encounter.
