Maggot Pit

A writhing pit of fat, pale maggots, so slow and so obvious there's no missing them, yet stepping near sends the whole mass into a divine, devouring frenzy.

Effect The swarming maggots squirm into a biting frenzy, and all creatures on the ground in area **M1** must attempt a DC 40 Fortitude save. The hazard then rolls initiative.

Reset The pit functions continuously. If it's disabled or destroyed, it resets automatically after 24 hours if the crystal stele in area M2 still functions, otherwise it doesn't reset.
