[QUOTE="CanadienneBacon, post: 3344310, member: 11146"] After handing over the torches, Karl steps around the corner to more closely examine the door. In about two seconds flat, Karl spies a trap in the five-inch diameter symbol engraving in the door's lintel. It looks like a cloud of poison gas will shoot out of the symbol if someone messes with the door. Karl sets about carefully finessing the symbol and the lock on the door so as to disable the trap to be able to gain entry to the room beyond. While Karl works on the door, Grotzkoshter hears a scuffling coming from the north end of the hallway, near the bend. Rogue's ears prick forward at that same moment, just in time to see a hidden door open and four goblins armed with saps and short swords step through. [COLOR=Red]Karl, Elyan, and Kaeleen are flat-footed.
