Again, Raze, this skill to see traps (the door one) can only be seen if you have the "detect Traps" skill - and at this stage of the game... you don't have it. Or did I still misunderstand something?
If I didn't misunderstand => then it's logical IMO to walk blindly into that trap if the lever wasn't pulled. Though... I wish I could see if the skill would underline my theory or not <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/think.gif" alt="" /> - in any case, I liked the subtle hint on the paper ("rest was smudged either cherry jam or blood...)
