Faerie Fire Trap
An enemy in disguise asks for help and leads the PCs into the trap and triggers it, which releases the spell stored within the trapped object. The object is covered in arcane symbols and writing.
Effect: +8 to hit (or DC 13) against one target, Casts Faerie Fire centered on the triggerer
Trigger: enemy, an enemy in disguise asks for help.
Countermeasures: A successful DC 10 Insight check can tell that the enemy is lying. A successful DC 10 Dexterity check using thieves' tools disarms the trap. Casting dispel magic (DC 13) on the trap will cancel the stored spell.
Spiked Net Trap
A stuck door must be broken down to pass but breaking down the door causes the PC to stumble into the trap, which causes a camouflaged net to fall on any creature caught below. The ceiling is covered in stalactites or vines to conceal it.
Effect: Targets all creatures within a 10 ft. square area, DC 13 STR save or become restrained and take 6 (2d10) poison damage, half on save
Trigger: stuck door, a stuck door that must be broken down to pass.
Countermeasures: Destroying or circumventing the door in some way other than smashing it down avoids the trap.
Destroying Traps
Traps can be damaged and destroyed, sometimes to good or bad effect. Pipes containing fire or poison will rupture and spray over the area, while mechanisms can be rendered inoperable with enough force. Determine the HP and AC of your traps based on the tables below. Sometimes a fragile trap is more dangerous than a resilient one if destroying it will fill the corridor with acid.

| Crystal, glass, ice | 13 |
| Wood, bone | 15 |
| Stone | 17 |
