At the watchtower
MaraI check the old watchtower door for traps before we open it.
GameMasterYou find a thin copper wire near the latch. It connects to a bell inside the doorframe.
TheoI remember we bribed the watch captain last session. Would the bell alert her patrol?
GameMasterYes. Campaign memory says Captain Ressa accepted your silver pin and agreed to look the other way until dawn. If the bell rings, her night patrol still has to investigate.
MaraWhat does the sample rule say for careful disarming?
GameMasterGrounded rulebook answer: careful disarming uses a Focus check. On a success, the trap is disabled quietly. On a miss, the trap triggers but you spot the consequence first.
