Lair of the Unidragon, Page Forty-Seven

You run your hands over the Goldensword, grab the hilt, start to pick it up--and discover you CAN'T! The Goldensword, being really, truly made of pure gold--is INCREDIBLY heavy! Try as you might, you cannot budge it an inch. The blood vessels in your arms feel as if they're about to rip open. You give up and glare, red-faced, down at the magic sword, feeling embarrassed that your quest should be stopped by something so stupid. You turn and stomp out of the room.
Unfortunately, Charlie forgot to tell you (he really did forget--he wasn't just out to kill you) that the bell only disarms MAGICAL traps. As you stalk away, a perfectly mundane, mechanical spring in the floor is triggered--
--and a trap door opens beneath your feet to drop you several hundred feet onto a bed of yard-long, blood-spattered iron spikes.
