Ok, here's the map to the mansion and the key to the rooms you passed through. Note, you passed through each room fairly slowly, but at best possible speed (10 feet per round) so you may have missed small details. Also, you don't think the guardians in the mansion react to you being in gaseous form considering the golem in the hall did nothing until you entered normally.

Sitting Room. Ornate furniture fills this lavishly appointed sitting room. The stuffed leather chairs, gilded sofas and finely carved tables are all covered with a thick layer of dust and cobwebs. There is a great stone fireplace in the southeast corner of the room. A watercolor portrait of a raven hangs above it and a fine bronze sculpture of the bird rests on the thick wooden mantle. To the east are a set of open double doors and an archway opening into a pair of smaller connected parlors.
Parlors These two connected rooms are smaller parlors, furnished much like the larger sitting room. A large window with heavy velvet curtains and a small stone fireplace occupy the south wall of each room.
Library This room is graced with only a single wide, floor-to-ceiling window in the middle of the east wall. Otherwise, every inch of wall space is occupied by heavy wooden shelves. Stacked neatly on the shelves are scores of books, scrolls, and tablets of all varieties. The library is filled with clusters of comfortable looking chairs and sofas, along with sturdy reading tables equipped with tarnished oil lamps hung with cobwebs.
Study A massive oak desk standing before two large windows dominates this room. Smaller bookcases and scroll racks line the walls. One of the bookcases is filled with knickknacks featuring the raven you have seen throughout the house, including small bronze, pewter, ceramic and wooden sculptures of the bird. A large, brightly colored tapestry hangs from the curving northwest wall, showing the raven in flight against blue skies and green hills. The floor is littered with dead leaves and the room smells heavily of mildew and rot.
Dining Room A heavy oaken dining table more than thirty feet long dominates the center of this room. A crystal chandelier, somewhat smaller than the one in the great hall, hangs shrouded in cobwebs. Along wit hthe dining table, sideboards and hutches line the walls, boasting a variety of webvield candelabra, tarnished silver and dusty porcelain flatware.
Kitchen This room is a large kitchen. Copper pots and utensils of all varieties hang from a rack over a long wooden countertop in the middle of the room. Two large brick ovens stand in the recessed southern area of the kitchen.
Pantry This room is lined with shelves stacked full with all manner of provisions. There are large, rotting bags of grain, jars filled with liquids, pickled vegetables, herbs and spices, baskets of rotten fruit and moldy bread, casks and countless other items. There is a narrow spiral staircase with rusting iron railings in the southwest corner of the room, its steps leading down into darkness.
Storage This wooden shed was built onto the house after it was completed. It is filled with garden tools, rotting bags of seeds, barrels, firewood, hardware and other mundane supplies.
Coop This small wooden structure was obviously used as a chicken coop. A covered pen enclosed with fine wire mesh extends from the front of the building, and dried droppings cover every square inch of the ground. There is a large, jagged hole in the wire mesh fencing.

Cellar The floor of this small cellar is earthen but the walls are finished in rough masonry. Shelves filled with provisions line the walls and several large barrels are clustered in one corner.
Messy Bedroom This bedroom was once well appointed, but it looks as though a dragon charged through it in pursuit of its next meal. Furniture has been smashed and scattered throughout the room. Ragged holes have been gouged into the walls. Books, papers, and other refuse completely cover the floor. Curtains have been ripped down and shredded and the goose down mattress has been torn apart, soft feathers lie scattered about the floor in the south end of the room.
Bedroom This large bedroom was once well appointed and elegantly decorated. The passage of time has taken its toll, however. Dust covers everything, the bed linens and drapes on the windows are tattered and yellowed with age, and plaster is peeling from the walls and ceiling.
Unfinished bedrooms This room was apparently never finished. The support beams and rafters of the walls and ceiling are exposed and the floorboards are unvarnished timber. The windows are equipped with heavy shutters but lack the heavy glass panes found in the other windows throughout the house. The room contains unused furniture draped in sheets and boxes of surplus household items and supplies. Light streams into the room through a large crack in one of the shutters. The room smells heavily of incontinent cat.
Master Bedroom This bedroom is large but simply decorated and sparsely furnished with an unmade bed, a small side table and an oak wardrobe. A thick layer of dust covers everything in the room. An large oil portrait of the raven hangs on the wall behind the bed.
Bathroom This small room houses a large, oval shaped wooden bathtub with tarnished brass fittings. A thick luxuriant fur rug – probably bearskin – covers the floor. There is a washbasin along the south wall and shelves stacked with linens along the west wall
