Light Incense Burners [R] (enchantment, incapacitation, mental, occult, sleep) Trigger A creature lies down on the bed, or a living creature spends more than 3 rounds inside this room; Effect Incense swiftly fills the room (even if the incense burners have been removed or were destroyed).

Critical Success The creature is unaffected.Success The creature is sickened 1 by the incense's scent.Failure The creature falls unconscious. If it's still unconscious after 1 minute, it wakes up automatically.Critical Failure As failure, but if it's still unconscious after 1 hour, it wakes up automatically.

Critical Success The creature is unaffected and wakes up.Success The creature remains unconscious and takes 1d10 cold damage and 1d10 mental damage. This damage does not wake the creature, and those who are awake can see the unconscious creature thrash as if in the throes of a nightmare while their body rimes over with layers of frost. The creature can fight against the bitter cold and monstrous shapes by attempting a DC 28 Will save as a three-action activity on its turn—on a success, the creature wakes up.Failure As success, but 1d10+6 cold and 1d10+6 mental damage, and with a DC 32 Will save to wake up.Critical Failure The creature remains unconscious and takes 2d10+12 cold damage and 2d10+12 mental damage.

Routine (2 actions; cold, enchantment, mental, occult) The haunt uses its first action to light incense burners again, forcing any creature that isn't already unconscious to save against that effect once more. Its second action is to cause any unconscious creatures in the room to experience horrific, vivid dreams about being lost in the arctic during a blizzard, while enormous furred figures—graefiadeik kar—lunge at them through the snow to attack repeatedly.

Falling Debris [R] Trigger Pressure is placed on the floorboard. Effect The ceiling in the crawlway collapses in the square where the passage turns, and also in the two adjacent squares. Anyone in these three squares takes 3d6 bludgeoning damage and can attempt a DC 14 Reflex save to reduce the damage. For the creature in the center square, where the trap is triggered, this is a basic save. Creatures in the two adjacent squares take no damage on a success or critical success as they avoid the falling debris entirely, but take full damage on a failed save, and take double damage on a critical failure. Creatures that take damage from the debris are immobilized, trapped under the crushing weight. Clearing out a square of debris requires a successful DC 17 Athletics skill check, with the following effects. Critical Success The square is cleared in 1 minute.Success The square is cleared in 5 minutes.Failure The square is cleared in 10 minutes.Critical Failure The ceiling above the square collapses further, dealing an additional 2d6 to the character digging out the square and any character trapped in that square. This takes 1 minute and no progress is made.

Slam Shut [R] Trigger The pressure plate is depressed; Effect The portcullis falls, closing off the hallway. Any creature under the portcullis when it drops takes 4d10+18 piercing damage and is immobilized. A creature that succeeds at a DC 26 Reflex save takes no damage and rolls away in a random direction; on a critical success, they can choose the direction. (For the rules on freeing an immobilized creature, see the sidebar on page 515 of the Core Rulebook.) If the trap was triggered by a creature moving north with a Speed of at least 10 feet, they're considered to be under the portcullis when it triggers. Creatures moving south when triggering the portcullis aren't considered to be under the portcullis when it triggers.

Spawn Mirror Duplicate [R] (divine, conjuration, teleportation) Trigger A creature moves between the two glass faces of Falaistai Zukorn; Effect The planar rift disgorges an evil mirror duplicate of the creature (see below), and the duplicate rolls initiative. The field of opposition can use this reaction once per round but can't spawn a duplicate of a creature that already has a mirror duplicate in existence.

Mirror Duplicate A mirror duplicate rolls initiative with a +45 modifier. It uses the same statistics as the original creature, but with a +2 status bonus to AC, attacks, and saving throws. The duplicate is evil, and any abilities reliant on alignment change accordingly. The duplicate is also aggressive, attacking and taking other hostile actions available to it against anyone other than mirror duplicates. It has three actions and one reaction and can use any of the original creature's abilities. Any limited-use abilities (such as spell slots) are based on what the original had when duplicated and are used up separately from the original creature's. The duplicate also has duplicates of the creature's worn and held items, but not consumables. A duplicate is destroyed when reduced to 0 HP, when the trap is disabled or destroyed, or when the duplicate leaves area E2. Its duplicated items disappear when they leave its grip, though they last long enough for ranged Strikes.

Description A 10-foot-by-10-foot bonfire spreads to the surrounding forest on each of its turns.

Disable A successful DC 22 Athletics, Nature, or Survival check from an adjacent square is sufficient to smother one 5-foot-square of fire; each attempt is an Interact action. Dousing the flames automatically extinguishes one or more sections of fire, with no check. Water typically clears a 5-foot square if the amount is small (such as from a spell like create water or hydraulic push). Larger amounts of water, such as a full bucket, typically douse a 10-foot-by-10-foot area (or 4 squares in some other shape). Throwing a bucket of water on flames requires an Interact action. A waterskin doesn't contain enough water to put out even 1 square of fire.Cold can also put out fire, but only if the cold can affect an area; cold is less effective than water, so a frost vial puts out only 1 square of fire, and a ray of frost is ineffective.

Stoke Flames [R] Trigger A brimorak urges the fire to spread out of control; Effect The bonfire becomes a forest fire and rolls initiative.

Routine On its turn, the fire spreads into a number of additional squares equal to half the number of squares the fire currently occupies (minimum 1 square).
