Anyone who falls prone on the slope must make a DC 20 Reflex save or slide all the way to the bottom.  This causes no damage.  Any character who reaches the bottom of the slope, by whatever means, sees:Bottom of the SlopeThere are many kinds of vermin among the trash, but only the swarm of centipedes present any danger.  They will rush at any creature sliding or stepping onto the floor at the foot of the slope.  In addition, there is a bat swarm roosting on the ceiling 50 feet above during daylight hours. There are cracks and channels leading from there to the surface, which the bats use to leave at night to hunt.  These air channels also provide enough ventilation to keep the stench of this cave from permeating the entire complex. The bats will be disturbed and attack any creature bearing a light source, or any creature that becomes airborne for more than a round.CreaturesBat SwarmDiminutive Animal (Swarm) Hit Dice: 3d8 (13 hp) Initiative: +2 Speed: 5 ft.

The save DC is Constitution-based.Wounding (Ex): Any living creature damaged by a bat swarm continues to bleed, losing 1 hit point per round thereafter. Multiple wounds do not result in cumulative bleeding loss. The bleeding can be stopped by a DC 10 Heal check or the application of a cure spell or some other healing magic.Blindsense (Ex): A bat swarm notices and locates creatures within 20 feet. Opponents still have total concealment against the bat swarm (but swarm attacks ignore concealment).Skills: A bat swarm has a +4 racial bonus on Listen and Spot checks.

A centipede swarm has a +8 racial bonus on Climb checks and can always choose to take 10 on a Climb check, even if rushed or threatened.TreasureIf anyone takes the time to rummage through the trash, a DC 20 Search check will reveal a still-closed pouch near the gnawed bones of an unidentifiable humanoid. This poor soul was a captive the kobolds didn't search very well before throwing him down the slope for their amusement.  The pouch contains some 50 GP in various coins as well as a vial of clear liquid. The liquid is a potion of Bull's Strength that the vicitm never had a chance to use before the centipedes got him.</blockquote>
