Feb 17th Fresco of Entrapment – Variable Level Warder

Powerful magic users will sometimes enchant their fortress’s walls with these Frescoes of Entrapment – brightly painted images of guardians with the power to absorb those who touch the walls.

This wall or door is painted with colorful, gilded images of guardians – each unique.

Perception (easy) – the images of warriors are very detailed, and there seems to be little in common among them.
Arcana (easy) – the observer realizes that this is an enchanted wall.  (medium) – the observer understands the nature of the trap.  (hard) the observer gains or can grant a +2 on thievery checks to disable the trap.
Thievery (medium) – the observer can tell that the painted wall stinks of magic and almost seems to pull at you, as though trying to draw you in.  (hard) the observer disables a 5 foot section of the wall by scraping off or covering up the paintings.  Failure on this check results in an attack by the wall.
History (easy) – the images do not seem to depict any historical event or personages that you know of.
Attack – Immediate Reaction, when a creature touches the wall – trap level +2 vs. Will
Hit: the target is stuck to the wall and immobilized (save ends).  A Strength check (DC: hard) can free the target and end the effect.  First failed save – the painted figure the target is touching begins to take on the appearance of the target.  Second failed save – if still touching the wall, the target is absorbed into the painted figure which now looks exactly like a painting of the target.  Once absorbed, a Break Enchantment or similar ritual is required to free the target.

Encounters – brutes who can push and controllers can up the ante of this warder by pushing characters against the wall where they become trapped.  Artillery can be stationed on battlements atop the wall, melee fighters on the field in front of it.
