Effect The portcullis slams down, driving its sharpened ends through a grate in the floor. Creatures directly beneath the portcullis take 3d12+20 piercing damage (DC 40 basic Reflex save). The portcullis is made of adamantine and has Hardness 31 and 120 HP (BT 60). The trap then rolls initiative.
Reset Once triggered, the trap must be manually reset by raising the portcullis. Once all the vials are smashed, the trap can’t use its routine again until the vials are replaced.
