Zix will grab a torch from the wall and shine it down the shaft.

The shaft goes down about 30', but a few feet down on the north side of it is a man-sized opening. One could hold the top floor edge of the shaft and swing down through the opening (Dex. check at -2 bonus.)

Can she see anything inside the man-sized opening?

Zix bends over and extends the torch through the hole. She sees a ceiling, wall, and thinks it is a room. The hole exits up high in the room.

Zix will try to swing down..
..successfully.

Zix is now in a 10'x15' room, torch lit, a door in the west wall, empty save a chest. On it is a sign: "Open me."

Zix checks the chest for traps..
..and finds nothing, so she opens it.

The chest is locked.

Zix will attempt to pick the lock..
..but finds that the lock is beyond her skills. What is the chest made of?

Since she can't pick the lock, she'll try prying the wood apart with her dagger.

Zix curses and hurls the chest against the stone wall in frustration.

Zix hurls the chest. It hits the wall and lands with a thud. There is a door in the west wall.

Zix will check the door for traps..
..successfully.

The careful elf finds neither trap nor lock on the door. It opens out to a 12'x12', torch lit room. A bell tinkles. The room is criss-crossed with strands of fine silk upon which are attached tiny bells. Very tricky to get through without touching a line and tinkling a bell. In the northwest corner, sitting in a chair, is a blind-folded man with a blow dart gun.

In the south wall is a corridor exiting south.

Zix contemplates just shooting him from here but decides he might know where the key to the trunk is.
She easily avoids the wires, and attempts to move in silently behind the blindfolded man...
...with ease. She draws her dagger, places it to his throat, and whispers, "Not a watchful watchman are we?"

"It seems you passed this room's test successfully, at least reaching me," the blind-folded man says with a smile.

Zix's interest is piqued. "Reaching you? There's more?"
