        Marcel watched intently as Lady Azzar enchanted the arrow.
"Madame Azzar, even though the path is most safest, I should
first to go?  The  way may be trapped."
        Azzar nodded, and allowed Marcel to move up in front of her,
earning dirty looks from Colin and Captain.  He warily approached the
door.  <<Activate Thermograph and EM-scanner>> Marcel stared at it for a
moment or two, looking at the edges carefully. 
        /What do you think?/
        [I don't see anything funny.]
        "I do not think the door is trapped.  Please stand aside
in case I am wrong."
        Marcel kicked open the door and slowly entered the next room, looking
all around.  It was a long corridor with a second door at the end.  The arrow
pointed towards the opposite door.
        "Look for murder holes," whispered Malieu.
        Marcel looked at the ceiling.  "No cool or hot spots."
        "What?"
        "Apologies.  I don't see anything strange.  The floor doesn't appear
wrongly either."  I shall be careful, however.
        Marcel advanced down the corridor, the rest of the party behind him
a few feet.
        [You know, you really should have looked at the -]
        KER-CHUNK!!!  A stone slab slammed out from the left wall, seperating
the party from Marcel.
        [- walls.]
        Lady Azzar's arrow abruptly changed direction
to a blank spot of wall.  "That's odd," she muttered.
The wall abruptly popped open, and a pack of orc-dogs bounded out towards
the party.

[ADMIN: Here's a diagram
        d=door
        s=secret door (Opened, with Orc-dogs pouring out of it)

---------------------s----------------------------
|                 |                              |
d        Marcel   |    orc-dogs  rest of party   d (to acid room)
|                 |                              |
--------------------------------------------------

        Let's get dangerous!  Also, don't worry about Marcel, he's
in trouble too, but will get back with the rest of the party eventually.
The orc-dogs are just a warm up.
        Lady Azzar's arrow changed direction because it originally pointed
out the best path to the drug lab.  When this trap was sprung, the best
path changed to through that secret door.]
