On the door, the bad guys (goblins, bandits, what-have-you) have hung an old floor-length mirror they found and/or stole (this also could be a large shield of well-polished steel, or whatever makes the most sense). Behind the door are a few bad-guy guards who are playing cards, sleeping, or whatever. Heroes who walk down the corridor will see a light source approaching them from the distance. Most likely, they will stop and quickly back around the corner or duck into the nearest alcove, then peek out to see if the enemy is still approaching. They will see that the light source has also stopped and is half-hidden now, as if the enemy is laying in ambush for them. Here follows some clever plan by the heroes to outwit their own reflection. Often this will end with the heroes breaking the mirror (or striking the metal shield), which alerts the guards on the other side of the door, who call for reinforcements....ironregime</blockquote>
