Count PoopulaThe Tilt, Slide, and Grind Level 6 Warder/ Lurker Combo
Trap XP 250
Suddenly, the floor beneath you drops, sliding you down toward an open pit.
Luckily you stop your slide…just in time to be hit by a section of the wall that
slid down from the top of the slope. Half dazed, you fall into the pit only to be
slashed up by whirling blades. Almost dead, you find yourself in a room beneath
the blades, WITH THE FLOOR RISING TOWARD THEM!!!!!
Trap: A section of floor that drops down to one side, sliding the characters
towards a grinder pit located at the bottom of the incline and releasing a block
of stone that will push those in who kept themselves from sliding into the pit.
Initiative: +7
Perception:
DC 20- The character notices that the floor is polished much smoother than
the rest of the stonework.
DC 25- The character notices that a large section of the wall is moveable (A
secret door of some kind?)
DC 30- The character feels a slight imbalance in the floor and notices that
there are minute grooves in the wall (where the floor drops down).
Trigger: The trap can be sprung by defenders pulling an activation lever,
pressure plates, tripwires, or by PC’s entering and breaking a weight limit on the
floor.

the blades again 3 rounds after the first character enters the grinder pit. The
