(I don't think it will give anything away)The magical trap will trigger on opening the compartment.  The alter is of dwarven manufacture and I imagine would be complex to open without someone doing it accidentally.  A simple pole pushing at a point would not be enough, I am envisioning something as complicated as a child-proof cap on a bottle of pills.Using a set of lockpicks to disarm a magical spell trap is something I am having trouble visualizing anyway, but that's besides the point. <img src="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/joypixels/assets/8.0/png/unicode/64/1f61b.png" class="smilie smilie--emoji" loading="lazy" width="64" height="64" alt=":p" title="Stick out tongue    :p"  data-smilie="7"data-shortname=":p" /> Jury-rigging anything to by-pass the trap requires some expertise, thus would come back around to your Disable Device skill once again, I think. Spending money on the appropriate misc magical item/spell scroll instead to by-pass it would probably do it though, if you knew exactly what you needed.  Worst case, 375gp buys a Dispel Magic scroll and requires a dice roll to succeed too.So, if you make a successful Spellcraft Roll to identify the actual spell in place or a successful Knowledge Engineering to determine the workings of the compartment, I think you would be able to possibly buy/develop a safe means of by-passing it later once you resupply in town.Thus ultimately you can succeed with some dice rolls in the end to earn the XP.[/sblock]</blockquote>
