| At The End ov this 10-foot-long passage
is
the back of an obvious secret door. Constructed to LOOK as if it were part of the wall to those on the other side, no attempt has been made to disguise the PRESENCE of a door from this side. Light from the other side faintly outlines the door and reveals a handle. |
The door
is trapped from the opposite
side so that any person who opens it triggers
the trap. This trap consists of a spiked,
spring bar beside the door, bent back so
that
when released it snaps across the doorway
@ chest height with a great deal of force.
Any character standing in the doorway
takes 3-18 points of damage.
If a thief successfully
detects traps,
he |or| she discovers
the trigger rope
on the other side ov the door
by peering through one of the cracks. This
rope
may be [cut] && the bar released with a
dagger
inserted in the crack. The bar then
smashs into the panel ov the door and does
1-6 points of damage to any characters
pressed against the door.
| About halfway down the hallway is a
wooden board, crudely but securely fastened to the wall at 1 end. The other end has nails, spikes, glass && other jagged items stuck into it. The board is bent back towards the wall && held in place by a rope fastened to a pin. Another rope is connected to this pin && runs forward along the wall to a hook set in the wall. This hook is in about the same place the bar would strike if released. |
This trap covers the secret
door to the
outside. If the rope
is [cut], the bar is released
to swing into the wall, Anyone standing
in
the arc of the bar takes 3-18 points of
damage
from the blow.
If the board strikes the
wall, it cracks the wood && plaster
panel
there to reveal a secret door and a passage
beyond.
