Olaf peers through the door and says uncertainly, "I think that was a trap of some kind. I don't see anyone in there."
He moves to the side of the door looks to one side and then around the door jam before moving cautiously inside. He has his shield up and is ready for anything.

After searching about in the long grass and rubbish for a few moments he recovers the remains of a large crossbow bolt. Such was the force of the impact that the stout wooden shaft is split and splintered!

...it takes but a moment for his keen eyes to adjust, and he soon finds himself in a wide hall which runs the length of the courtyard, having dark door arches at either end. The wall-side of the hall appears to be divided into a run of messy but vacant dormitories. In the center of the nearest cluttered dorm stands a rude wooden chair. Upon the chair, facing right at the door, is a crossbow. Now that his eyes have adjusted, Olaf sees that there is a wire running from the weapon up to small brass hook in the ceiling, and then along the ceiling and back down to another hook in the top of the door...
