Teeter-totter Lid Pit (1992 Card Set)

These traps are usually 10' square and 20' deep. Victims stepping on the lid cause it to tip sharply down, dumping them into the pit for 2d6 points of falling damage. After the victims fall into the trap, the lid flips over, closing again. The lid, set on pivots, is usually made of heavy stone. Victims inside must be able to reach it and exert a combined Str of 18 or greater in order to lift the lid. Damage to one area on a lid totaling 40 points will crack it, permitting air to pass and making a visible hole. Otherwise, available oxygen in the pit is limited to 3 turns, maximum, and may be even more quickly depleted by strenuous activities.
