Disable

• Thievery DC 25 (trained)
• Crafting DC 22 (trained) — to secure the ladder’s anchors so they won’t break

Trigger More than 3 Small creatures or more than 1 Medium creature climbs the ladder at the same time

Effect The ladder’s anchors rip free from the wall, dropping the ladder and anyone on it into area **B1**. Anyone on the ladder falls 50 feet, taking falling damage as appropriate. A creature at the top of the ladder can attempt a DC 21 Acrobatics check or Reflex save to Grab an Edge and cling to the side of the pit in area **A9**. A creature lower on the ladder can attempt to grab a handhold on the shaft’s wall, but in this case the check increases to DC 25.
