A shallow well is in this cave. There looks to be a pile of coins and gems at the bottom. If the pile is disturbed – it is actually a pile of coins and gems – a large stone column falls from the ceiling directly down the shaft, completely filling the shaft and flattening anything in it.

The passages in here have lava running down through them, coming from a central place with several vents. These vents can be easily stopped, as the lava slowly oozes from them. However, if all the lava vents are blocked, the pressure builds up. After 1d6+4 rounds, it explodes, creating a 5 foot tall wave of lava that washes through the complex.

When targets move in this area, a small wall of force (5′ wide) moves behind them, physically stopping them from directly retreating into the space behind them.

A suspension bridge hangs over the deep chasm. When somebody hits the halfway mark, a large, spiked pendulum, weighing several tons and spanning the width of the bridge, swings down along the length of the bridge, shortening as it travels so it is always 1 inch above the bridge surface.

Something in this area distorts sound, making everything sharp. Bard effects have the negative effect, and if not applicable, are negated. The bard may try again with a +10 to the DC of the perform check to counteract. Spells with a verbal component require a concentration check, and sonic spells deal double damage.

If any damage is taken before magical healing is applied, that damage is not healed magically, and must be healed by rest and Heal checks.

There is something in the air in here which reacts with potions. Generally speaking, potions that are used in this area have the opposite effect (if applicable) or just don’t work.

The floor is very springy. Any movement faster than normal speed cause the target to bounce. This can cause the target to lose balance, hit the ceiling, or mis-judge jumps or other Acrobatic feats. For fun, make sure this is at the bottom of a pit, too.

It is very dark in this cave. A narrow bridge crosses a very deep chasm. The chasm is filled with gunpowder. Any fire source dropped into the pit blows off the top of the mountain that it is under.

Every surface in here is covered in a thin layer of very viscous oil. Every action requires an Acrobatics or Dexterity check, or has a penalty. Failing the check causes the target to fall prone. Somatic spellcasting requires a check and a concentration check as well.
