[QUOTE="CruelSummerLord, post: 3903519, member: 48692"] Who needs to get all fancy and high-tech? Remember that goblins are resistant to filth and disease, according to fluff text. Since when was the last time a goblin took a bath? In other words... Manure. Buckets of it on the top of slightly open doors, ready to splash on any hapless hero that comese through. Tripwires that release the stuff from hidden compartments in the ceiling. Trap doors that drop heroes into the latrine. Piles of it in front of the archers. If the heroes have to crawl through a Small-sized tunnel to reach the goblins... Now, you as DM are going to have to extrapolate here, since thankfully there are no rules for what happens in cases like this. You might decide the PCs suffer the effects of a stinking cloud spell, suffer temporary ability damage by being "poisoned" by the stench, or a minor attack penalty for their nausea and disgust. Reflex or Fortitude saving throws are of course permissible to avoid the worst effects of the stuff, and whatever happens it'll hinder, rather than kill, the PCs. There might be an added psychological advantage-characters who are so angry at being covered in cow pie might furiously charge after the goblins...right into whatever traps the little rats have set up.
