how do you re-set this? actually, how do you set this up to begin with? on the gameplay side, is this even interesting, for either the DM or players? how do you even describe what's happening? it just seems like another variant of 'you fall into the pit and die'
these issues always crop up in my head whenever i see convoluted traps like this, including pretty much everything in grimtooth's. they never seem like they'd be fun to play, or even to run as a DM. i for one don't want to exposit to a group, for example, how a ceiling swung down and knocked the point-man into a doorway filled with monomolecular wire (seriously?), while simultaneously a hook swung and killed the guy behind him, and at the same time the lastmost guy is catapulted onto a bed of spikes on the aforementioned ceiling section by a seesaw that previously went unmentioned. it's an absolute unmitigated clusterfuck, and i'm pretty sure i missed some critical piece of it explaining that abomination from memory just now. it's the dungeon design equivalent of one of those porn things where the artist's drawn this very complicated machine or situation, but as a result has to cover the page in text explaining how it works; it's interesting and creative when it's not fucking stupid, but it's not what we're here for.

>How reset Magic telekinesis to roll the boulder. Floor is hinged or just sticks >How make Form Stone and goblin workers >Is it interesting Of course. The trap in question allows three checks, one to notice it, disarm it (bring your pole always) and one to swim out of the bottle before it closes. The genius bit of this trap isn't the killing but the sealing. You're all forgetting that Revive is a spell, but you can't revive no one without the body. It could be just hard ground or spikes, but then the others can just rappel down and bring him back to the nearest good cleric. Getting the body back is a puzzle in itself.

Seeing how we still have anons who had never read that makes me think we could use a sticky sometimes

Awful idea
