Looking over the door, it doesn't seem as though it's complex enough to contain a trap, unless perhaps it was covered in a contact poison or there was a small barb or<em>locklurker</em>in the lock. Sliding a piece of cloth along the door shows no sign of poison, and a few pokes with a thin metal rod suggest nothing is hiding inside the lock, so she can start to pick it.<br/><br/>It takes about half a minute, being decently made, but Alaedra makes progress, hearing the occasional click as one of the mechanisms flicks across, and finally, it snaps open, and the door is unlocked. All the while, the footsteps were getting louder, and the sound of clinking and metal dragging on metal followed them, suggesting that chains were being dragged up stairs or along a bumpy path. Speech could also eventually be heard, one male and one female.<br/><br/>"...just arrived in. She's probably awake by now, we should have a lot of fun with this one."<br/>"I wonder if we can make her scream the first time? How hard is her will, do you think?"<br/>"Well she is one of the Spider Queen's minions, so I bet she'll be a hard nut to crack."<br/>"All the more fun then."<br/><br/>It sounds as though they are not very far away now, so if Alaedra wishes to escape, it may have to be soon.
