Scythe Blades

Curved blades hidden in the ceiling, set to drop and sweep in murderous arcs when an unwary step springs the mechanism. The blades sit flush and silent until triggered — DC 23 Stealth (trained) to spot them.

Disable it with DC 21 Thievery (trained) to disable each blade. Each scythe has AC 21, Fort +12, Ref +8, Hardness 11, 44 HP (BT 22), and is immune to critical hits, object immunities, and precision damage.
