[QUOTE="Imaculata, post: 7039990, member: 6801286"] This is a trap + boss battle that I sprung on my players during my 3.5 pirate campaign. The players enter a large, deep, underground chamber. Immediately a heavy stone door drops behind them, locking them inside. An old stone bridge with no railings, leads to a central platform with an old tomb, that radiates with protective magic. The platform is supported by one stone pillar, and a few ruined walls remain of what was once a crypt. Along the walls of the dark cave are three waterfalls, and below the platform is a large pool of water. What the players do not know, is that behind the waterfalls there's an ambush of aquatic spiders. The spiders can shoot their webs though the waterfalls, and if they succeed to hit a PC, they will attempt to pull the PC off the platform. Down below the water the spiders have built a devious trap; dozens of webs, in which any PC will get entangled as soon as they hit the water. The spiders themselves have no trouble staying underwater, since they carry air bubbles on their backside, but the PC's are at risk of drowning. The spiders' underwater nests are also filled with the corpses of their old victims, but the players may be able to gather some valuables from these nests. There's also a big mommy spider, who's main objective is to guard the tomb. She has no trouble moving over the feeble bridge, towards the platform. The players are caught between a rock and a hard place. The players can escape the room through an underwater passage. [/QUOTE]
