[QUOTE="arscott, post: 1896188, member: 17969"] A while back, I set up an interesting trap in an abandoned sewer complex. The sewer consisted of cylindrical pipes that contained catwalks above green slime, or some othe caustic goop. In one rather long and straight section of the sewer, the party set off a pressure plate, and the entire section of pipe broke loose and rolled down a slope until one end of the pipe got caught, tipping the whole thing sideways and letting the party slide out of the pipe and into the BBEG's arena. It has all the benifits of a pit trap with few of the drawbacks. They took damage from being bounced around in the pipe. They took damage from being splashed with acidic goo. And had they been less lucky with saving throws, they would have taken damage when the catwalk slid out of the pipe and fell on them. What's more, they were in the villian's clutches, and the only apparent way to escape was to climb back up a nearly vertical pipe whose sides were dripping in green slime. [/QUOTE]
