Relieved that the trap is mechanical - and not magical - in nature, he quietly goes about disarming the traps. When left with the last one, nearest the ceiling, Desmond sighs, "damned all tall people. Can't leave the one, though. A bit of bad luck and that one shot could be deadly, too."
He studies the trap a moment, then decides a well-placed shot at the counterweights would knock them off the door, thus triggering the trap, albeit with a bit more noise than he would have liked.
"Anyone in ear shot who knows about the traps is going to come runnin', Mon. So once we sets it off, we'll just slip into that dark corner real quiet-like and wait a few minutes to see if anyone shows up."
Desmond stands just behind the still-armed trap, puts a stone in his sling, and attempts to knock the counterbalance off the door with the stone.
He'll give it a few shots if he misses with the first. If he springs the trap, he will slip into the shadows and remain motionless for several minutes until he is sure nobody will come running.
If the coast remains clear after several minutes, he will step back into the open and see if he can scavenge any thin wire line and brass pulleys from any of the traps.
