Breldo, watching Rick chasing Khond around with oil, will carefully step closer. "Aye, that looks to be a tripwire. Back in the company, we had a specialist in that sort of thing. 'Eight' we called him, on account of his fingers. He was a 'learn by trial and error' sort, but never had a third slipup. I've got steady hands, but didn't practice his skill at taking apart traps and getting past locks."
He gives a meaningful look back over his shoulder at Nuria, suspecting she may have had cause to find her way past such things before.

Lucky for Cladmir, with his knowledge of where the tripwire is it's easy enough to step over, even if he briefly stumbles, victoriously emerging on the other side.
Which is a very hollow victory when he's surprised by a hammer suddenly flying down from the ceiling and smashing into him- Only to make him stumble backward, and trigger the trap regardless.
(Initiative rolls again! And where would everyone's positions be now? I presume most people followed along in the hallway after the initial fight and Cladmir taking the lead...)
Rick ignores the non-question not directed at him and focuses trying to get oil onto Khond, leaving the answer to others.

Nuria is still a fair distance away in the main room, but might perk up if she notices Breldo staring in her direction.
"Anyone know how to bypass a tripwire? Besides not tripping on it?", Breldo calls back.

"Rick always just climbs on the walls. Very few tripwires on the ceiling Rick has found."
Rick suggests helpfully.
"Or Not Bandit can just step over the tripwire."
He suggests even more helpfully.
Cladmir takes Rick's word as command and attempts to step gingerly over the trip wire.

((Beside Khond, presumably following Cladmir.))
Initiative: 10
Breldo is probably standing right about where Cladmir is about to land after stumbling over the tripwire...

Rick isn't paying that much attention to what Cladmir has been doing.
