[sblock=Perception 30]You notice that the closest tile with a  purple symbol seems just a touch lower set than the other tiles around  it.[/sblock][/sblock][/sblock]For Thalin, Colgrave, & 354b:Your search includes the laboratory you are in.[sblock=Perception 22]You find a loose brick in the north part of the wall the hallway is on.[sblock=Perception 28]You can see a niche in the lock and tiny holes around the safe edges.   This looks like part of a trap on the safe lock.  Revealing this  information to someone attempting to pick the lock before they make the  attempt will grant a bonus to the lock-picking attempt, as they will  have some idea what to avoid.[sblock=Perception 30]In the rear corner of the room (square O1) there appears to be some very fine cracks in the wall and a loose brick that you didn't notice at first. It's possible this is some sort of hidden door.[/sblock][/sblock][/sblock][/GM]</blockquote>
