Your friendly guide to the Bartosz Family Manor in The Sinking City's 'Blood From A Stone' side case. Learn how to get inside and what to do.

Alright, so after chatting with Helen Bland at the Oakmont Chronicle, you'll get a document called 'The Old Golem's secret.' It'll point you towards the Old Golem Restaurant. Once you're done there and have the Bartosz family's manor address – northern Oldgrove, on the corner of Goldbridge Rd and Windhalf Avenue – it's time to head over.

When you get to the manor, the front door is a no-go. Look for a note near the back entrance; it'll tell you the key is hidden behind a flowerpot. Grab that and let yourself in.

Inside, you'll meet Mrs. Lebovits, who mistakes you for the housekeeper. Don't worry, she'll give you a few chores: arranging books, moving statuettes, and setting the dining table. While doing these, use your Mind's Eye to find a 'Letter to Vilma, unsigned' and examine a trophy and a painting plaque.

After the chores, Mrs. Lebovits will ask you to fetch a crate of fish from the basement. Be warned, it's a trap! Some wylebeasts are waiting for you down there. Once they're dealt with, you'll find the crate is full of rotten fish. Bring it back to Mrs. Lebovits, and you can finally convince her you're not the housekeeper. She'll then give you the key to Mr. Bartosz's room.

Head upstairs. The right-hand door is blocked, but there's a note mentioning Vilma and her potter's wheel. Use the key Mrs. Lebovits gave you to enter the left-hand room. Inside, check the framed photograph near the bed (there's a key on the back) and read Klement Bartosz's journal, '_Out of Czech lands_,' on the desk. Use your Mind's Eye on the crack in the window to see Klement watching Vilma's room.

Now, with the key from the photo, you can enter Vilma's room. Examine the clay figurines, the book, and '_Vilma's diary_' on the bed. This will give you the lead you need to head to the Oakmont Police Department next to find out about 'Glenn'.
