- Traps, huh?
-
- 1) The Pit
- A 10x10x20 deep pit, covered by a stone floor on a swivel. Upon 50lb
- or greater weight put on the bottom of the pit, holes about 15' up open
- and the place starts to fill with oil. At an appropriate deapth (sp?) a
- hole on the opposite side of the pit at the same height opens and a
- torch comes in----what I like to call shake-n-bake :)!! Now, whether
- the torch is lit or not, and whether or not the characters in the pit
- have a chance to catch said torch is up to the DM.
-
- 2) The Hallway
- Somewhere down in the dungeon is a long-long-long hallway, about five
- feet wide. Upon pressure at a certain part of the floor in said
- hallway, a hole opens in the ceiling and out drops a small pebble
- (?)--actually from a necklace of missles. Volume of ensuing fireball
- fills the entire corridor. A variation is a corridor that turns every
- 20-30 feet or so. Same procedure, same effect.
-
- 3) The Trap within a trap...cubed!
- At some convenient place there is an illusionary wall. Immediately on
- the other side of the wall (possibly covered by an illusiory floor) is a
- 20X10x10 pit with spikes at the bottom. At about a height of three feet
- above the pit is an almost invisible wire--to trip those who try to jump
- the pit. But tripping the wire sets off a spear trap--two spears fire
- from a wall directly in line with the pit like so:
- * corridor *
- - illusiory wall *
- x pit -
- ~ wire x
- ~
- x

- A trap within a trap within a trap----!!!
-
- Just my $0.02, with $0.05 for inflation, $0.07 for shiiping and
- handling, and, of course, the omnipresent and ubiquitous
- $99.99 for tax purposes....<wink>
