On the corridor wall beneath the trapdoor that was the entrance to RC #−273.15, a large and obvious arrow had been painted in glow-in-the-dark green paint. Next to it ws a pull-chain connected to a bell. The arrow pointed upwards to where two pumpkins hung from the ceiling, suspended on ropes made to look like spider silk.

One pumpkin depicted a vague likeness of a goblin's face - whoever had carved this pumpkin had probably done it with a sword, or at least a dagger, so it was only a very rough semblence.

The other pumpkin could not have been more different. All the cuts were clean and straight - if slightly singed - and it seemed to bear the likeness of a gargoyle.

Set in the ceiling between the pumpkins was a trapdoor, around the edges of which came an eerie green glow (reflected from Cyba's alcove via a series of mirrors). Beyond, Eagrus had rigged up a pulley with more of the 'spider silk' rope, on the end of which was a plastic cauldron draped with cobwebs and filled with the good old failsafe that was chocolate.
