Tar Pit
An area is warded against unrecognized intruders, activating when a creature enters without the correct badge, outfit, etc. Entering without the item on their person, opens the floor into a shallow pool of tar, sticking and slowing anyone caught in it. Some sort of dried substance is smeared on the walls and floors.
Effect: Targets all creatures within 20 ft., The floor opens into a shallow pool of tar, halving the speed of anyone in the area. The tar sticks to them, continuing to slow their movements until the tar is scraped off.
Trigger: entry, activates when a creature enters the area without the correct badge, outfit, etc.
Countermeasures: A spell or other effect that can sense the presence of magic, such as detect magic, reveals an aura of divination magic around the area. A successful dispel magic (DC 10) cast on the area destroys the trap.
Freezing the tar will cause anyone currently submerged to become restrained, but otherwise make it possible to walk full speed on top of a slippery surface.Magic Missle Trap
