Spore Trap
A gallery is filled with paintings that are actually portals. If the wrong portals are entered that leads to the trap, which opens vents in the floor and releases poisonous spores into the area. The area has a strange smell and is covered in mushrooms.
Effect: Targets all creatures within a 10 ft. square area, Poisonous spores are released which deal 34 (4d10) poison damage and DC 13 CON save or be poisoned for 1 hour.
Trigger: paintings, a gallery filled with enticing paintings that are actually portals. Only one (or none) of the paintings leads forward, the rest lead to the trap.
Countermeasures: A successful DC 15 Intelligence (Arcana) check allows a character to figure out that the paintings are portals. A successful dispel magic (DC 13) cast on the eye disables the trap. An unsuccessful check triggers the trap. A strong gust of wind (at least 10mph) will disperse the spores.

Destroying Traps
Traps can be damaged and destroyed, sometimes to good or bad effect. Pipes containing fire or poison will rupture and spray over the area, while mechanisms can be rendered inoperable with enough force. Determine the HP and AC of your traps based on the tables below.
