Punish the Impertinent

A grasping bowl flanked by three shadow tendrils that lash out at anyone who approaches without leaving tribute.

Noticed with Stealth +15 (expert). To disable, a creature must make a DC 32 Arcana or Occultism (expert) check to banish one of the three shadow tendrils, or a DC 34 Thievery (master) check twice to confound the bowl's magical sensors. Bypass: A creature who places an offering worth at least 10 gp into the bowl doesn't trigger the trap and isn't targeted by the trap. The shadow tendrils are immune to critical hits, object immunities, and precision damage.

Shadow Tendrils [Reaction]

Each shadow tendril runs a 2-action routine on its turn: it uses 1 action to make a lash Strike against a creature in the area, then 1 action to Constrict a creature it has grabbed.
