His brief look, however, stops him in time, before he steps on a rigged pressure plate. A closer look reveals that it's set up to trigger a rockslide, dumping a pile of jagged metal, precariously balanced above, down onto anyone who passes through the middle area. Avoiding it is difficult; it covers the entire path leading through, almost ten feet across. He might be able to, but there's no way the plate-wearing paladin would manage it.
