If this haunt appears in an area with many mirrors, consider giving PCs double or even triple the XP for a typical simple hazard.

Disable Thievery DC 21 (trained) twice on the pillar, or Thievery DC 19 (expert) once on the control panel deactivates the whole trap. Breaking the control panel prevents anyone from disabling the trap using the control panel and prevents the trap from deactivating automatically (see Reset below).

Routine (3 actions) The spirit cyclone uses 3 actions to move, traveling up to 30 feet with each action and dealing 2d10+13 negative damage to each creature in its path (DC 32 basic Reflex save). A creature needs to attempt only one save during the cyclone's movement, even if the cyclone moves over its space more than once. On a critical failure, a creature is swept up into the cyclone, becoming grabbed (Escape DC 32). A creature grabbed by the cyclone moves along with the cyclone and takes 1d10+6 additional negative damage at their beginning of its turn, and it must attempt a Reflex save against the cyclone on the cyclone's turn, no matter where the cyclone moves. A creature that successfully Escapes from the cyclone falls from a height of 1d12 × 5 feet.

Sudden Spray [R] Trigger A creature or object weighing at least 50 pounds is placed on one of the flagstones north of the gate (marked "T" on the map on page 32) Effect Pressurized sap sprays from the nozzle, coating everything in a 15-foot cone. Creatures in the area that fail a DC 20 Reflex save become affected by stink sap.

Stink Sap (aura, olfactory) 5 feet. Creatures and their equipment coated in the sap smell horrible. Creatures in the aura must attempt a DC 16 Fortitude save. On a failure, the creature is sickened 1, and on a critical failure, the creature is also stunned 1. While within the aura, the creature takes a –2 circumstance penalty to saves to recover from the sickened condition. A creature that succeeds at its save is immune to stink sap for 1 minute. Creatures don't save against this effect in exploration mode and don't become temporarily immune, but creatures with stink sap on them must roll against their own aura when they roll initiative in encounter mode. The sap dissipates after 10 hours; spending 10 minutes scrubbing the sap off with soap and water reduces the duration by 1 hour.

Reset 1 minute. The trap resets automatically twice before the supply of stink sap is exhausted.

Routine (1 action) Each round on its initiative count, the trap pumps more sleeping gas into the room. Any breathing creature in the room is exposed to the toxin.

If a creature acts before the trap on the first round, it has the option of holding its breath to postpone breathing in the poison—holding one's breath after the trap's first action has no effect, since the air in the creature's lungs is already tainted. The trap functions for 1 minute before all the gas is expended, after which it rapidly decays over the next minute. Opening the door to an adjacent room cuts the remaining time it takes for the gas to decay in half but exposes creatures in that room as well.
