So, we've figured out the left.
The middle is probably swinging logs.
Now, a black stain. Wonder what's the right? Let's try and figure that out.

{What do you mean by 'plan'? Like a Stadium of Superpowers-style strategy PM, or what?
Also, is it OK to discuss the 'plan' in the thread?}

{Alright. Problem is, how can we tailor our plan for the room when we don't know for sure what's in it? I mean, say we'd taken the door with the black stain. We wouldn't have been able to do much planning, and any we could you would be mostly guesswork. }
I'll go in first, if needs be. I have quite high stamina, so if it is darts, I can probably take one in the shoulder or something so we know for sure.

And yet in RfMK, nothing. Hmm.

Whoever enters first should have high stamina and reflexes.
Catharsis seems like a good choice to open the door. Once we determine that they truly are darts, I can be one to enter and attempt to disable it. Reflexes, Speed, and Agility are all the key abilities for a scout.

If i may interject, not having been chosen to go in...
Why doesn't catharsis wave his flag into the room from outside the room, to try to spring the traps...

Well, assuming there's darts shooting at us as we try to cross the room, there has to be some sort of mechanism to fire these things. Possibly the switches to these things reside on the floor and when stepped on, fire their darts. What we'll need to do is one of two things, assuming the weaponry is floor activated:
1) Run as fast as humanly possible to the other side. The strength of this plan is we may be able to out run the darts, thus they would be missing us from behind. Its drawbacks are rather scary though. We don't know what direction they will be coming from. One can assume from the sides, but what of the rear and front? It's possible we'd be running straight into the things at full speed, thus very little chance of survival. Not only that, but it is possible the creators have a few of the side ones set to fire in front of the switches, thus leading the runner and impaling them anyway.
2) The 2nd option isn't too much more attractive, but I'll list it anyway. If we move slowly, and methodically spring every trap along our path, it's possible we can have some sort of protection around us and thus the darts would hit it instead of us. While I don't think it would play to our strengths as speedy people, it may have an equal chance of working out.
What do you all think, most importantly, what does Tasslehoff, Catharsis, and Pinman think?

I could perhaps creep along the floor and tap each bit with the flagpole... it might get the flag a bit muddy, but it wouldn't damage it, and that's the important thing. Hopefully, the darts would miss if that's how they're activated.
Alternatively, Pinman could do the same with his sword.

if they did, what about us who want to watch you decide how to do it? Anyway, if I were in the party, I'd shoot something in there and see what happens.
