Hi I am new GM and currently trying to play thought the investigation phase of the sample scenario. My question is , when the pc's enter a room what should I do ? do I draw a breif sketch of the room and its occupents/furnishings or do I read the description provided by the book or make my own?
The books description is
" The master bedroom is filled with piles of crates and boxes , as lord Aschaffenberg attempts to unpack his own wardrobe and effects, and remove the previous master's remaining articles. A giant four poster bed groans under the weight of the boxes piled onto it . A window looks out over the garden below and the forest surrounding the lodge. On the wall to the right of the window is a book cupboard holding all manner of old and new books"
If i read that description wouldnt it be obvious that they should make a observation check on the book cover to find the hidden passage?
I apologize if this is a stupid question I just want to make this part of the scenario enjoyable to the pc's without being to easy.
Thank you everyone in advance !
