The ceiling soars 90 feet high in the front of this rough chamber, and the walls are carved with honeycombs and covered in webbing. Within this area lie chrysalis within hollow columns. The walls are adorned with frozen bones and skulls, arranged in a morbidly decorative fashion. Directly across from a tunnel stands a set of organic barricades in the south wall. The mouth of a side chamber leads into darkness beyond. The air is noxious and burns your lungs.

There's poisonous gas filling the area (1d6 poison damage per minute of exposure)

This 25-foot-high chamber has a dark, flat ceiling wrapped with gossamer strands. Dark, stagnant liquid pools in the middle of the chamber. Green ichor hangs in archways at both ends of the south wall in this dark chamber. The tunnel continues past the chamber, winding gradually to the north and out of sight. Thick webbing is set into the west wall, and light seeps through its cracks.

In this chamber is a trap. Webbing is attached to a mechanism in the ceiling. The trap is triggered when the webbing is disturbed, which causes the wall along a narrow ledge to push out, forcing intruders off the ledge and into a pit below.

Effect: Targets all creatures within a 10 ft. square area, the wall pushes out along a narrow ledge, pushing targets into the pit below which deals 16 (2d10) damage.

Trigger: webbing, activates the trap when disturbed.

Countermeasures: A successful DC 20 Intelligence (Investigation) check at the top of the web will find the mechanism that activates when the web is touched. A successful DC 15 Dexterity check using thieves' tools disarms the trap, rendering the web harmless.

Barely contained within this chamber is a T-shaped tower, 10 feet on a side and 20 feet high, with egg sacs on all sides and a honeycomb roof. This chamber is heady with the strong scent of syrup. Organic matter covers the floor. To the north, little archways hang open, and a steady light escapes through the gap. Another tunnel is on the west wall, while a passage to the east leads toward a dark chamber.

In this chamber is a trap. This trap activates when a ruby or other valuable item is pried from a statue or other surface, that makes scalding hot steam fill the area via vents in the floor.

Effect: Targets all creatures within a 10 ft. square area, scalding hot steam fills the area. Any target that starts or moves through the area takes 2 (1d10) fire damage per turn.

Trigger: removal trigger, activates when a gem or other valuable item is removed.

Countermeasures: A successful DC 10 Intelligence (Investigation) check allows a character to find a wire attached to the item which triggers the trap when pulled. A successful DC 20 Dexterity check using thieves' tools disables the trip wire harmlessly. A character without thieves' tools can attempt this check with disadvantage using any edged weapon or edged tool. On a failed check, the trap triggers.

The floor is showered with small swatches of twisted, muddy fur and provisions. The northern portion of the area is separated from the rest by a steep bluff; the ceiling here is half the height of the rest of the chamber. Past the chamber, the corridor turns back to rough granite and turns to the north. A warm pulsating sac of liquid is growing out of the south wall. Tunnels exit to the east and south.

Tiny slits in the walls, swathed with tiny eggs, allow little light to enter this upper chamber. Against the far wall are all manner of bloodstained remains, as well as webbing. Hallways lead off to the north and the east. An opening at the southern end of the chamber continues into a tunnel, from which a sound of buzzing echoes.

In this chamber is a trap. This trap is activated when a creature touches its surface, which delivers a dangerous surprise to anyone touching the lever.

Effect: Targets any creature that touches it, 1 (1d10) damage and DC 10 CON save or stunned for 1 round

Trigger: touch trigger, activates when surface is touched by a creature.

Countermeasures: A spell or other effect that can sense the presence of magic, such as detect magic, reveals an aura of divination magic around the surface. A successful dispel magic (DC 10) cast on the surface destroys the trap.

Black, low shapes thrust up out of the still, brackish liquid that fills this 15-foot-square chamber, the ceiling of which is festooned with long hanging black web strands. A pulsating sac of warm liquid stands along the north wall, with fluorescent fungus that fills the chamber with a bright orange glow. Above a tunnel in the eastern wall is a white jawless skull. A rough, winding passage leads toward the south.

The strands in the ceiling are large spiderwebs (DC 12 Dex or restrained. DC 12 escape. AC 10, 15 HP, fire vulnerability, immunity to bludgeoning / piercing / psychic).

In this chamber is a trap. A lever is rigged to activate when pulled that activates a rune of power, fearing the target.

Effect: Targets all creatures within 10 ft., DC 10 WIS save or become frightened for 4 (1d4) rounds

Trigger: lever, activates when the wrong lever is pulled.

Countermeasures: A successful DC 15 Intelligence (Investigation) check allows a character to deduce the trap's presence from connections in the lever's mechanism to it. A successful DC 15 Dexterity check using thieves' tools disarms the trap, rendering the lever useless, or connecting it to some other mechanism. Unsuccessfully attempting to pick the lever triggers the trap.
