Adder's knowledge of the Arcane arts leads him to suspect that the Evocation aura on the door would inflict some sort of damaging effect if the keys are put into the door in the wrong combination. Adder's deduces from his Investigation that the order the keys are inserted is not as important as their locations.

Blue looks at the seam. “Doh!  Maybe there’s a mechanism. Look Eddie!”

Blue investigates what he can reach if the seam without stepping on its adjacent slabs.

Result of the throw of dice "1d20 +9" :

4 + 9 = 13

Another slab blocks the hallway twenty feet beyond the
first door. An iron lever is set into the door’s surface,
with a graven stone skull leering down from above.

navyik wrote:Doesn’t look like there’s an edge to skirt. Blue will fly to the lever looking for other mechanisms along the way.

Hourglass?

Chris wrote:

When a character reaches the midpoint of the hall, read:

The skull’s jaws creak open, and a skeletal hand holding
a crystal hourglass-style timer emerges from within.
With a click, the timer rotates and sand starts to trickle
into its lower globe.


Count down slowly from 10, and let the players tell you
what, if anything, their characters do in that time.

navyik wrote:Assuming That 10 minutes might not yet have passed, blue studies the room for auras, especially the mouth.  “Don’t step there, there, or there.”  Can he pass without significant trouble?
