It's pretty cozy, there's a lit fire in the center and a pile of furs for bedding off to the side of it. Across from there is a table and chair, with a few candles and papers scattered about. Also the standard witchy stuffs. A cauldron, mortar and pestle, a satchel of various dried plants, small effigies of bone and wood about, et cetera.

The cut the first rope and the bridge tilts! Looking down, you see six pale eyes and long claws clutching beneath the bridge and hear a growl...then you cut the other rope and the bridge falls away, taking the Nightmare with it!

You see a courtyard with the ruins of a camp. Burning tents and charred bodies are scattered about. Beyond the camp lies the massive bodies of a demonic creature and two grotesque giants. A third giant sits among the wreckage, eating one of the charred humans. You can also see the mansion beyond! A three story structure, with towering gothic rooftops and spires, stained glass windows, and two great doors with glowing violet runes carved into them.

Just the one, the others appear to be dead... As you creep past, you notice a lot of the same warriors from the previous camp among the bodies. Charred by the same blue flames consuming the demons body. The giants all seem to have similar wounds. Between the camp and the mansion is a large circular clearing centered around an old fountain. There are several totems evenly spaced around the edges with patterns of blood upon the snow connecting them to the fountain. Across this ritual circle, you see the mansion doors closed, with no obvious ways to open them, and a larger tent off to the side with effigies of wood and bone around it.
