Disable DC 20 thievery (trained) to erase the glyph (which requires a successful unarmed attack roll if the blade is already active) or Dispel Magic (3rd rank; counteract DC 20) to counteract it. The trap has a secret bypass known only to Ralso and Pratchett: as long as the guillotine can see a creature in the room touching thumb and pinky together with an empty hand, it remains dormant.
