The Wayfarer's Inn

Carefully, Eilkhan steps on the landing, but nothing happens. The stairs to the right are just another short flight, descending to another landing, thereafter turning to the right again. At the beginning of the second set of stairs, Eilkhan notices another row of holes in the ceiling, just like the one before. She also sees the pointed ends of adamantine bars in them, but as before she's unable to locate any mechanism on the landing, the surrounding walls or the first step of the second set of stairs that might activate these portcullises or whatever they might be.

Sol comments "Perhaps the trigger for the bars is further on. It might be intended to trap tomb robbers, preventing them from returning this way. Or it could be weight sensitive, triggered by several people being in a particular area..."

Kherim looks at Gaderon and Elmo, that stayed behind in the previous room, and says
"So, do we wait for them, explore this tunnel here or go meet them downstairs?"
"There doesn't seem to be anything else to do in this room."

"Then let me search further alone, ok?"

"I believe we should wait here for them rather than make this point dangerous if we unleash something... They should have a safe place to return if danger lies ahead..." Gaderon comments from reading his spell book to keep some helpful spell in mind while they waited for the others...

Moving over to the next set of stairs, Eilkhan notices yet another row of holes with pointed bars in them at the beginning of the stairs. Beyond the stairs is a passage, with darkness to the left thereafter, indicating that a room may open out there. That dark area lies 20 feet deeper than the floor of the upper level from whence she came. And again, Eilkhan is unable to detect any signs of a mechanism or trigger for these things.
