[QUOTE="Dausuul, post: 7057956, member: 58197"] Depends. What is it supposed to defend against? What is being protected? What monsters do the PCs have access to? My general approach would be a dungeon with fairly obvious, weak defenses along a single path, ending in an expensive and very effective deathtrap. Early in the dungeon, there would be a well-concealed secret door leading to an alternative path, where the high-powered defenses would be placed. Well, they set up the defenses, so presumably they know the passwords and hidden levers to disable the traps. (You have to have a way to disable the traps so that the legitimate owners of the treasure can get to it.) Walk in. Get thing. Walk out. Try to protect the girl on the way out? The exit strategy will depend heavily on what sort of defenses were set up, which I don't know since I don't know what's available. [/QUOTE]
