Shuffling Scythe Blades

Hazard 8 — magical, mechanical, trap

Pre-Remaster content. May include legacy alignment.

Six long blades, hidden in grooves in the walls and floor, zigzag through different parts of this hallway when any pressure plate in the hallway intersection is depressed; there are so many plates it's impossible to avoid them when moving through the room. The blades retreat into the floor and move through the hidden grooves before swinging out from the wall again in a different location.
