Once inside the door promptly closed and vanished, leaving him trapped.Undaunted, the thief pulled out a bottle containing a genie.'What do you wish, my master' intoned the slave of the bottle.Posing proudly the thief commanded 'make me a door!'And so the wily genie turned the thief into a door, and left him in the treasure vault, vanishing away, taking his bottle with him.Much later the rest of the party also found the treasure chamber, unlike the roguish thief they spiked the door open in their wake.Seeing the hoard the wizard cast Detect Magic, and several items began to glow, including a door lying in the middle of the floor....Convinced that it was a magic portal of some sort the brave adventurers took it with them, hoping one day to learn what mystic vista that it might open upon. To my knowledge, they might carry that door with them yet, bearing no witness to the fate of their erstwhile thief....The player of the thief thought that it was one of the funniest things that he had ever seen, and I don't think that he ever told the party that his character was the door! <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" />The Auld Grump</blockquote>
