Ok, I'm on break so I can only post a short example, but here we go:

The door creaks with age but swings gently open for you. Your first glance of the room beyond shows you a tall arched fireplace in the facing wall where a yew log burns steadily, casting a soft glow about the room. The leftmost wall is lined with bookcases, and there's a small writing desk nearby laden with parchment and quills. To the rightmost of the room you notice a doorway identical to the one you entered by.

I examine the parchment on the desk. Are any of them scrolls by chance?

I close the door behind us to make sure no one sneaks up on us (since it's creaky we'll hear it being opened, hehe!).
Then I go about checking the walls for secret passages.

None of the parchments appear to be magical, although some of them are written in ancient languages. The few you can read seem to be checklists of book titles, possibly an inventory log of the bookshelves.
Running your fingers along the desk, you discover a cleverly concealed drawer with perfectly flush edges. A Human might use this desk 100 times and never notice it, but your sharp Elven eyes aren't deceived.

Carefully securing the door you begin tapping, prodding and feeling your way along the stone walls. The stone seems thick and sturdy all around and after a minute or two you come full circle having found nothing out of the ordinary.

Oooh! Interesting. I look in the drawer.

TRAP!
You're gently sliding the drawer open when suddenly... "click!" The sound of a gear falling into place echoes throughout the room, and a sharp needle pierces your hand!
