[Says the man in a castle who was considering trapped ceilings.]
Thing is, while there's no cover in here there's also no hidden passages at ground level either, as far as I can tell. It's only connected at both ends. Someone coming in personally to trap us would have to enter through the library or the corridor while holding an axe, which would definitely catch people's attention, or from a passage higher up the wall, which would leave them a sitting duck while they jumped down. ...Unless they also have a ranged weapon, in which case we're completely screwed.
