[QUOTE="DarkKestral, post: 4488025, member: 40100"] Give 'em a classic gas trap. However, make the gas apparent on first notice.. no DC to notice... basically it should just fill a portion of the room and obscure sight.. and do a bit of damage per round if they don't get down on the ground. Then use a couple of pit traps that require getting up into the gas-filled area in order to disable. So they can either choose to take some a point or two of damage per round and not risk any extra, or choose not to take that damage and risk having huge chunks of their health taken out if they trigger a pit trap.
