After a litle thinking your mind is made up. Your not sure whether this is the right answer, but it seems like your best guess.

As Gougehook watches tensely, you step up to the door and turn the tumblers to reflect your answer.

From inside the door you here a serious amount of clunking and whirring noises and you begin to feel rather more hoepful sinse obviously the lock mechanism is doing something important.

You lean forward, waiting for the door to spring open, however after a rusty clicking sound a loud, brassy bong! rings out across the cavern.

You begin to step backwards but already it is too late, from the dark leaded windows at the top of the door a pair of long metallic poles suddenly spring downwards towards you, a loop of fine chain held betwene them aiming at your kneck.

You throw up both hands but with more intelligence than a clockwork mechanism really should have creddit for, the flexible metal rods slip past your grip and drop the noose of chain deftly over your head.

A second later you find yourself hoisted into the air, thrashing wildly and gasping for breath with the chain wrapped tightly around your kneck. Dimly you become aware of Gougehook attempting to climb a stalagtite and knock the chain loose but the metal is planely too strong.

As your brain starts to feel the effects of oxygen starvation, you do reflect that hanging is at least the correct punishment for those who get their spellings wrong, however appropriate as it may be, you stil aren't precisely happy that your about to die, ---- though dead you clearly will be in a few seconds. a second loud bong! rings out around the small cavern as you finally slip into unconsciousness.

Dead you now most deffinately are, the bell said so.

Maybe a different answer will prove more prophitable should you be reincarnated and find yourself in exactly the same place given exactly the same choice.
