Source Pathfinder #184: The Ghouls Hunger pg. 63
Complexity Simple
Stealth DC 40 (master)
Description An iron bridge's connectors give way to drop into the lake below.
Disable DC 40 Thievery (master) to disable one side of the bridge's quick release mechanisms
Collapse [reaction] Trigger A Small or larger creature moves more than 20 feet onto the bridge; Effect The bridge chains detach from their connectors, dropping itself and anything on it into the lake 150 feet below. A creature that's adjacent to the ledges to the north or south can attempt a DC 33 Reflex save to Grab the Edge, but creatures who can't reach the edge fall with the bridge into the toxic water below (unless one side of the bridge remains attached, in which case a creature can attempt to Grab an Edge by clinging to the dangling bridge—requiring a successful DC 20 Athletics check to climb the hanging bridge to safety).
