The party moved cautiously downwards until they reached the bottom of the stairs. The man was dead, that was evident but now it could be seen that as well as the sword on his belt there was a pouch.<br/><br/>Also looking towards the stairs it a tripwire stretched across the top could be seen. The wire ended on one side in a flask strapped to the side of the top spindle. Anyone coming up the stairs would not seen it and most likely they would not see the tripwire either.<br/>
