It's all fun & games until someone gets trapped in a vault

Here is a moment from the first quest of a custom campaign I'm hosting.

That's me in the wizard hat. The Dwarf is hamming it up for the camera, the Wizard looks on dubiously, the Elf is holding his card, and the Barbarian is the photographer.

I made a custom dungeon similar to "The Trial," though not as brutal There was still a Gargoyle to slay at the end, however.

Almost right away, the Elf cast "Pass Through Rock," and saw a Chaos Warrior on the other side of the wall, so he walked right back through, leaving behind a very confused Chaos Warrior. Toward the end of the quest, things got really interesting.

-The Elf can perform a special sneak melee attack with the dagger, and he inflicted the killing blow to the Gargoyle.

-The Barbarian decided to roleplay as a true beserker, and turned on the party. He was heavily armored and wielding the Spirit Blade.

-The wizard cast Tempest on him, and everyone exits the room.

-The Dwarf can turn one door into a secret door which can only be opened on one side, so he cast it on the only door out of the room.

-This Barbarian has not been seen since.

The party has since been joined by a "gentler" Barbarian, and are hesitant to run into their old friend again.

This is a gem of a special rule. However, I would make it possible, only when there's at least one other door of any kind (including secret) leading out of the room.
Because of the possibility that there's a secret door that's not been found, the skill has to be handled like this:
:dwarf: "Ach, izzat possable fer me to render yon door a secret door?"
:evil: Evil Wizard consults the map, sees no second door, but a secret door that's not been found and says: "Duh."

That made me smile. Funny stuff! Backstabbing is frowned upon.

Of course it is! :D
Can someone direct him to the cape thread?

If this is a regular group PROMISE me you'll re-introduce the barbarian in a later quest as a boss.
He finally found a way out and is seeking revenge - maybe add a little corruption of chaos from all the time he spent alone in the darkness (eating rats) figuring a way out.
This is too good a story plot to miss up!

He had to eat skaven, drink goblin piss, and was raped my a fimir occasionally.
After a few weeks he started to like goblin piss, which made his 2 Mind points rather confused and ultimately mad.
Oh, and the chain mail was chafing, too.
