[QUOTE="Lalalei2001, post: 4056232, member: 38386"] Our party was deep in a dungeon, and we came to this dead end room at the bottom of a 20' deep shaft. It had braziers in the corners at the bottom of the shaft, and an ornate carpet on the bottom of the shaft. One panel on the wall of the shaft was covered in an intricate pattern etched into the rocks. Our party did EVERYTHING we could think of. Moved the braziers, moved the carpet, our mage cast knock spells. We were stymied. Couldnt figure it out. This went on for what seemed like forever (In reality it was the best part of a five hour long Saturday RP session). At one point, we even burned the carpet, and used the ashes to trace out the patters on the wall ointo the floor where the carpet had been. Finally, in total exasperation, our DM had another player who had gone back to scout out for posssible secret doors 'come across' another one of the carpets. As we unrolled it, the DM 'accidentally' let slip that the pattern on the carpet was identical to the one on the wall, and that the two rings (that we missed totally) on the wall sort of matched the holes in one end of the carpet. Hang the carpet on the provided hooks, cast a knock, and BOOM, the passage opened. DUH. We all felt rather stupid for that one. [/QUOTE]
