"The key isn't here, I'll give the room one last look before we go upstairs." Lugar takes in the room, looking for signs of someone in charge who might have taken the key, but now regretting the destruction he and Giant did to the bodies earlier. We probably destroyed a clue he thinks. Oh well he tells himself, must move on. This place held many mysteries, not enough time to investigate thoroughly. He pulls out the glaive head to give it another look like Giant suggested.
After his search he trots on down to the library. "Lets take another look at that library too, maybe there's a book with more information on this house."
He stops at the iron grate that leads into the "courtyard" and gives it another look over, trying to determine whether it's worth the effort to break through and dig out the rubble. Maybe the attic will hold more clues?
