This is a common pit trap with a secret trap door that drops the first character walking across it into an 80 foot pit. The bottom is a pool of concentrated acid. (just for all you silly martial arts-types who think you can fall infinite distance -without getting hurt -- suck on that one buddy!)

A plaque with glowing letters (so that it may be read easily from the top of the pit) is affixed to the north wall, ten feet below the trapdoor. It reads, "Just to keep you on your toes." It is a simple matter to circumvent the pit trap by hugging the wall and stepping around the pit's southeast corner. The pit slowly resets itself after each dumping.

-10 For dying only if pit had been previously discovered. It's happened - they do forget
