Orrish Trap Masters
The Orrish are well known for their use of traps. This is a known element when dealing with them, and when exploring their lairs and camps (even outside the Dark Lands), it is prudent to take time and care whenever maneuvering through them. There is a role within their society that amounts to a ‘Orrish Trap Master‘ – proficient in creating all manner of traps and tricks with a crew of attendants learning and assisting as part of the Orrish Fighting Forces. There is no signifier for this that has ever been seen – i.e. one cannot tell a goblin trap master from a normal raider. For a goblin raiding party, much of what they do is improvised. Within a group, each one carries crude trinkets, baubles, and materials that the trap master can use, that accumulates as they raid places and get materials. In addition to the normal damage and inconveniences, the trap master also specialize in the making of Wormblat and using materials in The Underlands.
Poisons: Making Wormblat: The care of and use of Blood Worms in making Wormblat is mostly left to the trap masters. Additionally, there can be Carrion crawler mucous, if crawlers are present.
Common Trap Elements
Razor Web from the Spiders of Go-Zen
Stone Caltrops: These are often in a corridor covered with flat plates of stone than will sustain weights of under 100 lbs and break under more.
Breath Stealer Spore Traps: These are small mushrooms that are cultivated mostly by the goblins of the Orrish. They are covered in a dirt brown cap. Cooking them in Orrish urine is enough to make them edible to goblins. Patches are planted then pulled from a patch and placed so that they are nearly unseen and a fleeing goblin can trigger them behind them as they run past. Any character passing through the 5 ’cube of spore clouds without covering their mouth will have a chance of asphyxiation.
- The character must make a DC 10 Constitution check or their throat will constrict. They will take 4 damage and a measure of Exhaustion right away. Unless they rinse their throat with alcohol (wine, beer) or a specific antidote, they will rake 4 damage per round and not be able to use any measure of Concentration.
