So right now they have triggered the trap but the doors are not slammed shut or locked, so in theory if they did have to deal with some feinds they might be able to lure them into the room and then trigger the trap again (after it resets) by shutting and opening the doors again.  Could be interesting but we'll have to see what happens.</blockquote>
