Hidden Chute

A trapdoor set flush into the floor, its seam invisible until your weight tips it open. The unlucky drop straight through into whatever waits below.

A creature can attempt DC 20 Thievery (trained) to remove the trapdoor or lock it in position using a catch hidden inside the room's doorframe.
