Poisoned Secret Door Trap

A secret door rigged to drive venom-coated needles into the first hand that works the latch.

Found with Stealth DC 34 (master). To disable, a creature must make a DC 34 Thievery (expert) check to break the mechanism, or a DC 39 Perception (master) check to identify the three stones that, when pressed, prevent the trap from triggering. The trap is immune to critical hits, object immunities, and precision damage.

Spring [Reaction] (attack)

When triggered, the needles make a melee attack at +32 dealing 1d12 piercing plus purple worm venom.

Purple Worm Venom (poison) Saving Throw DC 34 Fortitude; Maximum Duration 6 rounds; Stage 1 5d6 poison damage and enfeebled 2 (1 round); Stage 2 6d6 poison damage and enfeebled 2 (1 round); Stage 3 8d6 poison and enfeebled 2 (1 round)

Reset: If disabled, the trap resets after 1 minute.
