Here is another installment of exTRAPaganza, our Thursday over-the-top trap series.
This is sort of how my golf game went the few times I tried.
There is a treasure in the middle of the room, with various lethal hazards around it that have to be avoided, like pits, spikes, acid, lava, etc. Also around the room are a whole bunch of micro transporters. These should activate when a PC gets near a hazard and is about to jump, make an acrobatics check or anything like that. It should not teleport them far, a few feet at most. But these things are everywhere and it should really make getting to the treasure a pain.
Oh, the area around the treasure is also dimensionally anchored, so actually teleporting there won’t work.

Halfway down the hall there is a 10’x10’x20′ pit. It has been cleverly painted to blend in to the floor if approached from this side, making it hard to see. Pit (DC 18 Reflex save or fall into pit, taking 2d6 damage) |

Effect |

If the chest is opened without the key (DC 28 Disable Device), a bright light flashes from the chest, followed by a cloud of greasy darkness. The bright light changes everyone’s alignment temporarily to neutral good (DC 21 Will Save negates). Then the greasy darkness covers a 20′ area and deals 3d8 damage and sickens for 1d4 rounds. (DC 21 Will save negates sickness and halves damage); multiple targets (all targets within 20′) |
