After perusing some mystical books, you are able to read all kinds of languages. Unfortunately, key details in those languages will be a little off. Like right vs. left, or subtle feelings. That kind of thing. There’s lots of books in here, they teach magic and detail the locations of mystical items. Good luck with that.

The party enters a wondrous wardrobe full of cloaks, coats and the like. They seem to be magical and to infer bonuses when tested, but when worn, will grant the targets’ opponents bonuses. The opponents get +4 deflection bonus to AC, and a +4 bonus to all saves. They also get SR 25 vs. lawful spells, and any lawful creature that strikes them in melee is confused for 1 round thereafter. (DC 27 Will Save negates) This bonus effect lasts for 25 rounds, and can happen once every 24 hours. Only a very strong dispel magic, remove curse, wish or the like can remove this effect, which has a CL of 25.

A beautiful oaken staff hangs on the wall. It is carved exquisitely into a motif of trees and leaves. If this staff is disturbed, it immediately turns into a 24 foot tall (Huge) treant. Not only does it attack the party, but the growth spurt collapses the ceiling, causing rocks and rubble to rain down on the party.

The party finds themselves stuck in the middle of a sheer cliff that is covered in marble hands. These can be used to climb or descend. However, each set of hands, when touched, shoots out flame.

There are several mirrors and alcoves in here. The mirrors reflect the viewer, and the alcoves cause any sounds the target makes to echo. Seeing or hearing any of these causes blindness or deafness respectively.. with a Fortitude save, of course… and a Will Save to avoid seeing or hearing in the first place.

There are many books in this library, all graphic novels. When they are opened, however, black tentacles, as per the spell, spring forth from each book.

The chambers here are filled with a fine dust that causes sneezing. Every so often (1d10 rounds, 1d10 minutes, up to you) the targets must make a Fortitude save or sneeze. When one of the targets sneeze, they hear a voice in the background say, “Curse, you” and for 1 minute, all targets suffer a -1 penalty to attack rolls and saves vs. fear.

Your vision is seemlessly replaced with the vision of a remote arcane eye. You think you’re seeing a dungeon that looks like yours, it just doesn’t have the traps, pits and other dangers in it. I suppose a Will save to prevent this from happening would be in order.

This warehouse is full of strange, exotic and valuable goods. However, it is protected by magic. If any objects are removed, once they reach the edge of the warehouse, they animate, along with 1d100 other small object (or their equivalent) in the warehouse which attack.

Every time the target interacts with another person, they change into a humanoid that the person they are interacting with hates, dislikes or would otherwise act awkwardly around. This interaction, of course, suffers penalties to about any check that matters.
