  • DC 44 (legendary) — (legendary) three times to deconstruct the larynx while the trap is active in such a way that it tears the spell apart, or spell
  • DC 38 — (9th level) to counteract the wail of the banshee before the trap activates

Effect The trap releases an arcane wail of the banshee (DC 40) with a 100-foot-radius emanation instead of 40 feet, targeting all living creatures in the area, and rolls initiative.

Reset The trap ends when the trap is unable to make a creature scream (usually because no creature failed its save on the previous turn or because all creatures have critically succeeded in the past). It then resets over 24 hours, as a new scream builds up in the mummified larynx.
