[QUOTE="Voadam, post: 8288005, member: 2209"] When expanding on [URL='https://www.drivethrurpg.com/product/28472/Lord-of-the-Iron-Fortress-3e?affiliate_id=17596']Lord of the Iron Fortress[/URL] the party was breaking into a Rakshasa's mansion in an extraplanar gate city where he had a bunch of powerful dangerous prisoners (aboleth, mindflayer variant, etc.) and important things (treasures, powerful dangerous magic, journals) hidden in the basement. He really did not want anyone breaking in to liberate any of that stuff down there so activating big complex traps while he was out in one guise or another seemed appropriate. I remember using a stair flipping scenario with spinning scythe blades from the walls all triggered by stepping on a specific stair as the party headed down stairs to the basement with a further trap on the door at the bottom. The party had to make their own judgment on whether this was a killing field diversion while a safe path was hidden for the rakshasa to use, or whether this was an indication they were on the right track and he placed traps to stop people going in or prisoners coming out the one choke point path down without his knowledge of how to deactivate things to make it safe. The situation seemed appropriate for a big D&D trap scenario. [/QUOTE]
