Keystone Trap

Level 7

uniqueComplexMechanicalTrap

A sealed vault crowned by a metal keystone — touch it wrong and the whole mechanism wakes, crackling with current and spitting darts as it spins to defend its contents.

In play

Disable DC 24 Thievery (trained) to find and press hidden knobs in a specific order (three successes are required to disable the trap, which also opens it); DC 24 Crafting (expert) to sabotage the vault's mechanisms, reducing its actions by 1 (when the trap's actions are reduced to 0, it is disabled)

Exposed Vault [Reaction]

Routine (3 actions) The keystone uses its 3 actions to Electrify, Spin, and then Launch Darts. When the trap loses an action, roll randomly to determine which action it loses.

Electrify [Single Action] The metal vault crackles with electricity.
