Choking Tethers

Tendrils of living shadow lash out from the walls, seizing intruders and crushing the breath from them.

With six actions, the trap loses 2 actions each turn for each disabled shadow tether. Each shadow tether has 2 actions it can use to either Strike a creature or Constrict a grabbed creature, in any combination. A shadow tether Strikes at +38 for 4d10+22 bludgeoning, and the creature is automatically grabbed. Its Constrict deals 4d10+22 bludgeoning, DC 47.
