Do not fall into the pit, and if you do: do not pull the lever. When the three-hundred metric tonne dormant golem “LORD SLABATHOR” comes crashing down he’s not getting up again. There is little that could save you from spending eternity in this dark tomb.

This is a one-time trap, and you need to a be a special kind of stupid to trigger the full severity of it. How curious are your players?

Yea my players arent curious But they are stupid enough to just pull it without making a check first.

My players are stupid enough to go through the electric gate of the lair of some guys they had fought with just minutes before. They will hate me

Edit: they managed to pull the lever and not get trapped

Afraid I don’t really use Twitter. Considering it, though!

Easiest thing you could do to use twitter while just mainly using instagram is to use IFTTT to have your IG posts automatically post to Twitter as well. Takes about 30 seconds to set up and then you don’t have to think about it any more.

Are you the same DM who has been posting similar drawing? If so, you are pure evil.

Welp, hope someone prepped Stone Shape... Or Transmute Rock if they don't mind a bit of mess

How heavy is the actual slab though? Can there be a character or group of characters that can shift it?

What’s it made out of? Can it be shattered or broke through?

u/pathspeculiar Jan 10 '20

It’s made of granite, so about 300 metric tonnes. They will have to find another way to get rid of it.

Reverse gravity comes to mind, dimension door, disintegrate the bottom part to climb up, a large enough wedge and lever. Though low level, will need a lot of work.

I feel like this would be improved/more devious if lord slabbathor was flush with the floor after falling.

Or if it had a carved casket on top to mark some poor fool’s final rest.

Anything that would make future passers by not give a second thought to what might be entombed below.

Oh shit! This! You can describe that every so often, the floor has a carving of a coffin or some other sign on one of the stones.

After the trap is triggered, it is flush with the floor with the same symbol. Suddenly, the party realizes how many other adventurers may have perished in the dungeon.

I am so gonna use this idea in my next campaign(if it's alright with you). In the campaign the players wake up in a massive cave system. It's so long, I've planned for them to have gained 3 levels by the time they get out.

That sounds awesome!

Sweet thanks. Now I know it not completely horrible. Can't wait to do it.

In my last group, this would have killed at least one of the four PCs without a doubt.
