Anyone that passes the doors becomes enchanted without their knowledge. Need to Get Away? (DC 24 Will Save, or the next time the target gets a critical success, the target is teleported to a spot just outside the double doors. This effect lasts as long as the target is inside the temple.

Here is another installment of exTRAPaganza, our Thursday over-the-top trap series.
Many of the rooms in this complex have battle banners hanging from the walls. While these banners are hanging, opponents are inspired. Whenever an opponent fails and attack roll or skill check, they are retroactively granted a +2d4 competence bonus. If this is high enough to turn the failure into a success, the roll succeeds.

Two gongs flank a featureless stone door, except for some small carved runes. |
|
Type: magical; Perception DC 30; Disable Device DC 30 Trigger touch; Reset 1 hour |
|
Effect |
|
Opening the door requires a DC 30 Perception check and a DC 40 Disable Device check. However, if the trap is not disarmed, one of the gongs will sound. The trap is also sprung if the gong is chimed by any other means. The runes are in draconic, and say “Going requires gonging”. Neither of these gongs actually has any effect on the door. Wrong Gong (Target is paralyzed and oblivious to surroundings for 9 rounds. A DC 22 Will save will negate the effect for 1 round, but must be made each round until failed, at which point target is paralyzed for the rest of the duration. If the target cannot hear, it has no effect. However, mundane attempts at not hearing, such as wax in ears, only grants a +2 bonus to the save. In order to be immune, the target must be deaf or not be able to hear by magical means. Somewhere, there is a small magical gong that opens this door without sounding the gongs, but it has been long misplaced.); multiple targets (all targets within 30′ of gongs.) |
