he had a thorough view of everyone present.<br/><br/>"I'll make this short," he began.  "I am Professor Murin.  If you're here, you're either planning on taking up the career of an adventurer, or for tactical defense.  When it comes to architectural observation, far too often magicians put trust in others instead of learning to be more perceptive themselves."<br/><br/>"And far too many were lost due to this foolishness!" he exclaimed suddenly.  "If you cannot find secret pathways or deadly traps yourself, you may as well leave your lives at the mercies of others!  I am here to teach you all how to detect, disarm, and even build such hidden mechanisms to make you all more self-reliant mages."<br/><br/>He took a complicated-looking circular metal object off from the shelves.  "You there!" he said, pointing to Nys.  Come up here and tell me what this is!"<br/><br/><div class="spoiler_container"><div class="spoiler_header" onclick="hideSecond (this);" role="button">"Perception DC 15"</div><div class="spoiler_body">This orb has a small creases forming circles at opposite sides of the object.</div></div><br/><div class="spoiler_container"><div class="spoiler_header" onclick="hideSecond (this);" role="button">"Perception DC 20"</div><div class="spoiler_body">The areas below the creases are hollow, and probably spring-loaded.  Whatever's inside feels loose, and will probably activate with sudden or violent movements.</div></div>
