A bit of a spoiler space
And a bit more
Ok i have a campain that is set in Rome around 90 AD. Sofar i have kept
the campain moderatly realistic and i intend to keep it there. Meaning
among other i try to stick to historic technology.
Another feature that would still be popular (or not, depending on
personal belief) would be defixiones (curse tablets) posted at prominent
locations, calling upon the gods to punish burglars or turncoat
servants who might be misusing the tunnel against the owner. The
punishment may be specified, but was often left to the imagination. The
E.O. may find satisfaction in arranging to call upon a selection of gods
chosen so that no one person is likely to be favored by all.
A mechanically simple but suitably intellectually challenging trap would
be to place an obviously valuable item under the immediate location of
such a tablet, that harms the taker if they are not deterred by divine
retribution. A ring with a piece of razor-sharp metal on the inside or a
money pouch that also contains counterfeit coins and a scorpion are both
good choices.
