Version 0.11: This article may not be up to date for the latest stable release of Crawl.
You're lucky to have noticed this trap, for it would released a cloud of deadly gas at you. Exactly what gas it holds, you cannot tell - perhaps it is plain poison, perhaps mutagenic fumes, perhaps flammable vapour, or perhaps something yet nastier.

Nay, 'tis not I have yt have brought forthe this rich o'ermastering fog, this fragrant gloom, so pray you seeke ye further." -Mark Twain, "1601", 1880. |
