Three of them had stairs leading down. Darian shined his lantern down each in turn. The passage without a stairway was coated in frost. Finally the party chose the north most stairway. Fiddle searched for trip wires and such. He checked the integrity of the steps. When he was satisfied he descended. On the last step he scanned the floor ahead. It was smooth. Too smooth."Somethings not right," Fiddle called back. "Do we have any dead weight?" <img src="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/joypixels/assets/8.0/png/unicode/64/1f609.png" class="smilie smilie--emoji" loading="lazy" width="64" height="64" alt=";)" title="Wink    ;)"  data-smilie="2"data-shortname=";)" />The party dropped the Dire Ape body onto the floor.SLLLlaaammmmA block fell into place blocking their view. It began to slide down the hallway. A couple seconds later a large crash was heard."AGGGGAAAAIIINNNN," Sully and Calrom said in unison.They repeated the experiment with the Gnoll body. Same result. Fiddle paid careful attention to the trigger and reaction mechanism of the trap."I can't begin to guess how many more times this will work," Fiddle concluded. "And I'm not going out there to find out if it is done. Unfortunately we don't have any more bodies.""Where is that cow familiar when you need one," Sully whistled.Sully in pixie form flew Fiddle to safety inside the room. Fiddle checked out the perimeter of the trap and made marks. He then traveled to the end of the room. A huge pit of darkness. He tried looking down. His sight didn't reach the bottom. Sully had no luck either. They turned to look around. Another passage continued East. Sully tossed some magical lights down this passage. They jumped about. At the limit of the spell, they showed a stairway up and a passage into a room with another of those spiral tower thingies. The recon team flew back to the others.  The party tried the next stairway. Fiddle repeated his routine of checks. No point in being foolish. Again at the bottom of the steps he found something unusual. It looked like a spring trap. He gathered what was left of the Gnoll's things and dumped them onto the floor. Next he emptied his haversack of coins. 30lbs of coins and 10lbs of gear lay on the trap. Nothing. He gathered the coins back up without stepping into the room. He tried to jam something into the spring. He had heard of a prank where you placed coins in the jamb of a door. He used his copper pieces to see if it would work. They held."If only Alya, Vlad, and Arendel would get here sooner," Fiddle thought out loud.</blockquote>
