Thanks! Aw, i DID see the entrance behind the house, but there is some badass 'overpowering' enemy hero parked at the entrance!
I'm a lvl 10 mage and i obviously suck

Forget it, i'm blind as an old bat

The guard won't let me in I have 3 options: tell tghe password, which i have no idea what it is, bribe him with 5000 gold which is no fun, or bash his head in, which is fun and i can gain some loot and exp.
