(the song i will use for this will be the first 2 minutes and 45 seconds of End Music (for a film), by radiohead.  *lyrics for this part will be attached at end of post). When the song finishes, they awaken.  What the song is trying to tell them to do is to open a certain door in the mage tower and thusly release what lies inside.  My problem is that i dont know how to make the characters want to open the door...Heres a basic pic+description of mage towerFirst four floors of mage tower are libraries.Fifth floor looks like this''''''''''_____t____'''''''/.................\''''d....................d'/.......................\ |.........................|d............s............r|.........................||.........................|''\......................./''''d....................d''''''\_____d_____/s= stairway leading from level belowd= doorways to other rooms(portals to other floors)r= normal looking door where vamp bard is sealedother info—The sealed bard vamp and the mage have a bistory behind them (not quite sure what though), and for some reason, the mage decided to only seal the vamp bard instead of kill him.Lyrics to song part—Wake from your sleep, the drying of your tears, Today we escape, we escape. Pack and get dressedbefore your father hears us, before all hell breaks loose. Breathe, keep breathing, don't lose your nerve. Breathe, keep breathing, I can't do this alone. Sing us a song, a song to keep us warm, there's such a chill, such a chill. – Soo yea...any help here would be very appreciated..</blockquote>
