Aside from the main entrance you've just entered, there's a portculis blocking the path to the adjoining corridor. PC1: Is it hostile?Me: What..?PC1: The port-thingy. Is it hostile?Me: ...it's a portculis...PC1: ...nevermind.Me: Anyway...there are square holes in the ceiling and 4 sconces on the walls. What do you do?PC's all walk into the room and try to open the portculis. PC's1 and 2 stand in the center of the room.PC3: I pull on one of the sconces.Me: You hear a rumbling sound coming from above you.PC1: I look up.Me: ....a gigantic wooden beam plummets out of the hole above you.

(PC2), give me a reflex save. (fails) *sigh* You take the same amount of damage.PC3: I pull on another sconce!Me: Fine! The porcullis opens up, but the rest of your party is still pinned under the enormous wooden beams you so happily dropped on their heads.PC3: I point and laugh at them. <img src="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/joypixels/assets/8.0/png/unicode/64/1f600.png" class="smilie smilie--emoji" loading="lazy" width="64" height="64" alt=":D" title="Big grin    :D"  data-smilie="8"data-shortname=":D" />--later on--Me: As you're walking down the ruined corridor, you notice a trip wire.

PC1: I stick my hand in the hole.Me:...your hand, arm, and shoulder are now soaked.PC1: I feel around inside.Me: *tries not to fall out of his chair* You can't quite feel anything but water and the chute it's pouring out of.PC3: I smash it with my sword to try and make it bigger!Me: Can you at least let him remove his hand first...?PC3: Sure thing.Me: ...roll the d20...(success) you double the size of the hole and the water is pouring in faster.PC1: Okay, I stick my head in to try and see where the water is coming from.</blockquote>
