The Giant's Lair Door

By:

"That is one really big door"

(NOTE: This trap wasn’t created by myself… see "The Small List of Traps" for more details.)

Ideal to install in a Giant’s lair, or that of some other great creature. It is a door. There are other doors like this, great and massive, hard to open for little folks we are. This one is a bit different:

As other doors, it has a single handle to open and close, no lock. But its hinges are on the BOTTOM side of the door.

If you manage to push it, it falls with a crash. If you pull it, it opens… right on you. The door is made of stone or iron and extremely heavy. Ouch.

Trap was made by one Kevin Sullivan, credit goes hence to him.

It is a funny trap. While it does not make me laugh nor deserve the "silly" free-text, it does make me smile about it and its applications.

A nice idea. I think a player would notice this, but maybe not. I mean, we always know whether to push or pull a door in real life... is this because of convention, or because we unconciously observe?

Just to note, it is very easy to build a door that can be opened in one way only.

And I still love this one.

Far to the north amidst the endless ice-flows it is rumored that a dwarven Walrus Totem clan exists. These rumors have been unsubstantiated to date, unless the dwarven sage Glurt Goblinguts is to be believed. He claims to once having encountered a troupe of huge dwarves, each standing a beard’s length higher than the tallest known dwarf. These dwarven “giants”, their hairy chins crusted with frozen shards of ice and dirt, hauled gargantuan yellowed horns or tusks upon their wide shoulders, and their helms, likewise, sported massive, down-ward pointing tusk-horns. Glurt Goblinguts later speculated that the impressive size of these dwarves was most likely due to their arctic diets, almost exclusively fat-based.
