Kuo Toa Gas Trap

The Kuo Toa begin to sacrifice the old and the week when they are being invaded. It is an honor. The sacrificed know that they will serve the tribe in death. 

Some are made into Kuo Toan gas traps.

The details of the process are still unknown, but somehow the body of the sacrificed Kuo Toan is hollowed out and dried. The body is then pumped with poison gas and sealed. The body becomes fragile like paper.

The Kuo Toa then place these bodies where intruders are likely to tear them. When they tear they pop almost like a balloon before collapsing almost like a soufflé. Anyone Directly next to the corpse when it pops must save vs. poison or die. Those not directly next to it but within 10’ get a +1 to their save and those from 10’ to 20’ get a + 2. Beyond 20’ the poison is not effective. The poison cloud will dissipate in 1d4 turns.

Explorers of the ruins of Zenopus’s tower have found one of these traps behind a door. The corpse had his hand attached to the door so that when they opened it, the corpses arm ripped off spraying gas into the room. No one died.
