It's a Trap! A Dart Trap.
Out of the corner of your eye, you notice a carved stone face with a hole in its mouth. Your danger sense tingles. It must be a trap. Some kind of dart or arrow or something is gonna fly out of that mouth as soon as you cross in front of it.
What's the right move, here?
| Try whipping the dart as you go past |
You wave your hand in front of the face, and somehow, miraculously, manage to whip the dart that flies out of it out of the air before it hits you. Nice whipwork!
or
You wave your hand in front of the face and, as you suspected, a dart flies out of it. Your reflexes aren't quite quick enough to whip it out of the air, but you manage to... mostly dodge it.
 | You lose 5 hit points. |
| Blow it up with a bomb |
You place a bomb above the face and light the fuse. When it goes off, it not only destroys the trap, but also reveals a hidden passage into a cavern that is completely full of snakes! What luck!

| Go around it using a rope |
You decide to evade the trap by using a grappling hook and climbing over the trap's trigger-area (that's what you call that area, right?) Not only do you avoid harm, but you also get a better look at your surroundings, including a part of your surroundings that are totally infested with spiders!

| Trigger it with your offhand item |
You toss your offhand item in front of the face. The trap fires a dart that completely obliterates it, but hey, at least you're still in one piece.
| Just walk right past it |
You try to edge past the trap without triggering it, but fail miserably. A dart plunges deep into your flesh, where all of your blood is.
| You lose 10 hit points. |
