If you pass through the southeast area of Casterfell Woods in Atomfall, you’ll likely come upon Datlow Hall. This crumbling estate is home to Prudence Rook, who is more than happy to show you what hospitality she can, but she insists that you don’t go into the Conservatory out back.

There are ten Garden Gnomes hidden around Wyndham Village in Atomfall.
Since you’re obviously going to try and do just that, you’ll need the key that Prudence carries with her at all times. She won’t give it to anyone but her butler Jenks, though, and he hasn’t been seen in Datlow Hall for quite some time.
How To Find Prudence Rook At Datlow Hall
Datlow Hall is a walled estate just outside of Wyndham Village in Casterfell Woods. It’s located at 26.2E, 85.4N, and it’s easily reached from either the Village, the Interchange, or the Sewer Tunnels.
The front door is entirely blocked by rubble, so you’ll have to go through the overgrown garden. They form a complete loop around the building, but getting into the house is easiest if you go clockwise from the front door. Conversely, if you get onto the grounds through the crack in the rear wall, go counterclockwise to reach the side door.
The grounds of the estate are covered with tripwires, all of which trigger deadly fire and spike traps. If you haven’t learned the Disarm Traps Skill yet, do so before attempting to enter.
Prudence doesn’t have much to say, other than to welcome you and warn you about the Conservatory. There are supplies to take, including a comic book upstairs, so feel free to help yourself.
Where Is Jenks?
Jenks is on the other side of the Casterfell Woods map, by the dam in the northwest – or what’s left of him is, anyway. Being careful of the forest’s druid patrols, as well as the occasional outlaws and hornet nests, make your way to 20.2E, 90.4N and recover the letter on his body.

How To Open The Conservatory
Show the letter to Prudence back at Datlow Hall, and she’ll give you the Conservatory Key. Go back outside and make your way to the opposite side of the house. If you didn’t disarm all the traps on your first visit, watch your step.
Inside the Conservatory are a handful of supplies, as well as a Stealth Skill Manual. This is the most valuable reward for all your trouble at Datlow Hall, as it gives you access to Quiet Takedown and Quiet Movement. There are also some extra dialogue options from Prudence if you show her Charity’s letter from inside the Conservatory, but after that she’ll have nothing more to say for the rest of the game.
Technically, you can also just kill Prudence and take the key from her, but this may affect the details of the ending you get as the epilogue takes into account whether you kill non-hostile NPCs.
