Oh darn…
Here’s another submission for Stuffer Shack – I guess it falls under Steal This Encounter. It’s a solo trap that I ran with great success in my own campaign.
To make the best use of this encounter, it is being presented as a PDF. There’s a lot of good info to help run this trap, including use of several obstacle/hazard stat blocks, and even a record of how this played out in testing.
Enjoy!

That is very cool. I can’t wait till I get the chance to try it.
Brian-
I’d be very interested to hear how it went after you actually run the encounter.
This sounds like it would be a fun trap in a Tomb of Horrors-like adventure. It’s hard to imagine a regular underground environment with a gauntlet set up quite like this one (iron bar here, grease patch there) – just have the boulder smash the intruders against a wall and be done with it! But if you have a place that’s more of a demented fun house, then this totally makes sense.
