Message: <blockquote data-quote="DEFCON 1" data-source="post: 2077865" data-attributes="member: 7006">Zook takes a few moments to examine the door.  The first and most obvious thing he notices is the doorknob in it's regular place on the door.  He is about to reach out and turn the knob to open the door when he suddenly stops......and takes a couple more minutes to examine the door.  The hinges, the knob, everything.((Search [Take 20] + 8 = 28 / DC 25)) *SUCCESS*He whispers to Kolarred and Luthal that he thinks the door is trapped in some way, so the other two back away from the door and let the changeling do his work.  He pulls out his thieve's tools and begins the tedious process of finding and then disarming the potential trap.  Sliding a thin hook inside the crack of the door, he is able to find the thin thread that is hooked from the door to something else on the inside.  He pulls out a thin knife and tries to snip the thread...((Disable Device [10] + 8 = / DC 15)) *SUCCESS*...and succeeds.  He hears the almost imperceptable ding of a bell as the thread is cut, and he realizes that the ringing would have been much louder had he just thrown the door open.  He motions to the other two to return and they move up to him again. In conversation, the three genuinely agree upon the fact that if the tower is trapped to ring a signal bell from the inside, that someone is either still in there or else trapped the door then escaped out via the secret back door or leaping from the open fourth level.</blockquote>
