Box of Brown Mold
A denizen of the lair is hiding nearby out of sight watching for intruders to enter the trap's radius. When a hostile creature is spotted, the sentry pulls on a rope that opens a box containing dangerous mold that immediately attacks. There's a small box next to the trigger.
Effect: Targets all creatures within 5 ft., DC 13 CON save or take 7 (2d10) poison damage and be poisoned for 2 hours
Trigger: sentry, a sentry is hidden in a hole or around a corner with a rope that activates the trap when pulled.
Countermeasures: The sentry is a regular denizen of the dungeon, stealthed in a nearby hiding spot. A successful DC 15 Wisdom (Perception) check spots the sentry, and the sentry will activate the trap when they see enemies standing within range of it. Disabling, avoiding, or scaring off the sentry will render the trap harmless.
Cold damage can destroy the mold, rendering the trap harmless.Swinging Spike Wall
This trap has a cover constructed from material identical to the floor around it that makes a spike-covered wall suddenly swing across the target area, impaling anyone caught by it. The walls are covered in stained spikes.
Effect: Targets all creatures within a 10 ft. square area, a spike-covered wall quickly swings out and impales targets, DC 13 DEX save or take 9 (2d10) piercing damage.
Trigger: false floor, activates when a creature steps on the false floor and drops into the trap.
Countermeasures: Once the trap is detected with a successful DC 15 Wisdom (Perception) check, an iron spike or similar object can be wedged between the cover and the surrounding floor in such a way as to prevent the cover from opening, thereby making it safe to cross. The cover can also be magically held shut using the arcane lock spell or similar magic.
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.

| Crystal, glass, ice | 13 |
| Wood, bone | 15 |
| Stone | 17 |
