Collapse [reaction] Trigger A creature steps onto any space in the dotted area on the map, or at least 30 pounds of pressure is put on the area; Effect The ground gives way. The triggering creature falls 20 feet down the hole, taking 10 bludgeoning damage and landing prone in area E10. A creature can Grab an Edge to avoid falling.
