Forest Dweller

Opening the door to get help might be dangerous- it might cause them to think you are trying to leave. Instead, you shout out
"Excuse me?" Immediately the door opens and a little girl with shining eyes walks through. Well, at least the place has good service. You wouldn't recommend it to anyone, though. Anyone you liked, at least.
"I was wondering about the view... what does this hotel overlook?" The girl smiles, a creepy smile that looks as forced as someone who is trying to make a good impression on their much loathed boss for a raise.
"The hotel pamphlet should tell you everything you need to know." You notice a small pamphlet on the bed you knew wasn't there before.
"Could you direct me to your bathroom?"
"Of course. Right this way."

She leads you down the hall to a door which she opens, gesturing for you to go inside. You walk through, knowing that any resistance at this point would be fatal. As the door shuts behind you, you let out a sigh of relief. Well, if this place was made by Elos he would have already killed you- you're sure you've let your guard down more than once. The only other explanation was that he wants you to think this is real so he can lure you into a false sense of security and pluck the knowledge from your brain in your relaxes state then shatter your soul. If he killed you now, the knowledge would be lost forever. No, it has to be your will to give it to him. You'll be safe as long as you play the part correctly.

Well, you're in the bathroom... now what? Although Elos probably doesn't wish to kill you until he gets what he needs, he still might try and suck the knowledge out of you right before your death- the wisdom of the forest has opened your mind on many possibilities.

If that is the case, fleeing to the exit and hoping that he would let you leave wouldn't be the best choice.

You COULD just use the bathroom... as much as you hate having Elos staring at your private parts, it would definitely make him think you were clueless as to the situation. After that, you could wash up and head downstairs... perhaps you could come up with excuses for being out of your room to get closer to the exit.
