Spore Trap
A passage is trapped with glowing runes which must be covered or toggled to display a specific password. If the wrong runes are showing then the trap is triggered, 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 20 (4d10) poison damage and DC 15 CON save or be poisoned for 1 hour.
Trigger: runes, a surface is covered in glowing runes that can be touched or covered to form specific words, the correct word must be found to stop the trap.
Countermeasures: A successful DC 20 Intelligence (Arcana) check allows a character to figure out that the runes can be toggled or covered to make out different words. A successful dispel magic (DC 15) 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.
Swinging Log
A pillar of light stretches the location. The trap is activated if the beam is broken by a creature or object and makes the trap swing out from a hole in the ceiling, toppling anyone in its path. There's large holes in the ceiling.
Effect: DC 20 to find, DC 20 to disable
Targets all creatures within a 10 ft. square area, DC 15 DEX save or take 22 (4d10) damage and be knocked prone
Trigger: light beam, a beam of light activates the trap when broken.
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. Sometimes a fragile trap is more dangerous than a resilient one if destroying it will fill the corridor with acid.
