Clicking HAND on the door brings up a menu that gets everything wrong. \\ \\ * An initial message as the door is approached. * ""You hear voices beyond the upper door. Two people seem to be having an argument in the next room."" * (This message persists after eavesdropping is over, when nobody's in there.) * Listen at door * ""You carefully open the door just a little so you can hear better and look through the crack."" * (No oil): ""The rusty hinges give out a SQUEAK as you open it."" * (Hero fully walks into great hall and is killed by Ad Avis.) * ""You've been tried and fried on charges of failing to have looked before you leapt."" * (The death message complains about recklessness, when clearly the hero was ''trying'' to peek. Clicking EYE doesn't justify the message either, ""There is a door at the top of the stairs."") * (Oiled, haven't eavesdropped): * Cutscene. * (Oiled, have eavesdropped): * (Hero FULLY walks into an empty room. The above messages are wrong about the voices AND merely peeking.) * Open door * ""Ignoring the voices, you fling the door open and stride through into the castle's great hall."" * (Hero does not walk through.) * (This message persists after eavesdropping is over, when nobody's in there.) * (This would have fit with the death message, had this action been fatal.) * Knock on door * ""Very polite of you. The door opens to your knock and you step on through."" * (Hero does not walk through.) * (This would have fit with the death message, had this action been fatal.) I thought I intermittently got a ""Pick lock"" option. Nevertheless, clicking the thief's toolkit on the door has the effect I remember. It acts like ""Listen at door"", except always with the SQUEAK (even if you did oil it), followed by - depending on oil - the cutscene or death... or an empty room if eavesdropping already happened. \\ \\ Compare to the menu from the haunted stairway leading to the great hall's upper entrance. That one demonstrates empty room responses because it never allows eavesdropping. I walked all the way around to the haunted door when I knew I *could* have eavesdropped at the first one. * Open door * (Hero walks in.) * Knock on door * You politely knock on the door. Fortunately, there is no response. * Listen at door * You put your ear up against the door and listen. You don't hear anything. * Pick lock * (Hero walks in.) * Peer through keyhole * Peering through the keyhole, you see no threatening activity on the other side of the door. I'm not familiar with the cutscene prereqs to reproduce this. With the original intrepreter and CD edition under ScummVM, I did some spot checks that showed the problem door is indeed /sometimes/ capable of empty room responses, similar to the haunted stairway. The cutscene wasn't available, and I don't remember if I'd seen it already in those runs. They weren't rigorous enough to be diagnostic.
