Breath of Despair

Four carved faces leer from the walls of the chamber, and the moment a living thing draws breath among them they exhale right back — pulling the life out with the air.

Disable Thievery DC 23 (expert) to disarm the trap's sensors in the chamber floor, or dispel magic (3rd level; counteract DC 23) to counteract the faces. Breaking one of the faces on the walls reduces the trap's save DC, attack rolls, and its total actions by 1 per broken face; if all four faces are destroyed, the trap is disabled. Each face has Hardness 12 and 30 HP (BT 15).

Effect Each face inhales then exhales, and all living creatures in area **C2** feel their strength and vitality being drawn out of them as tendrils of shadow from the faces latch onto their bodies.

Reset The trap resets after 1 minute.
