For example:A puddle of fetid water pools beneath the north stone wall.For a character with a high enough Passive Perception or Investigation, (or for characters actively investigating the puddle) I might add:The puddle seems to pass through a small gap beneath the wall.Now the search is on! I can expect characters to start poking and prodding the stone wall, trying to figure out how to open it. Let's say I already decided that pushing on a certain stone will open the door. When a character describes doing so, the door will open. Otherwise when the characters roll high enough, or have a high enough Passive check, I might say:You notice one of the stones is a little offset from the others, set a little further into the wall...No matter what, I'll never just tell the players how to open the door, but I'll lead them right up to the solution if needed!</blockquote>
