So I utilized the DMScotty fire trap that is activated by some individuals just out of sight and it worked perfectly. In my scenario they players were clearing out the Gorilla King temple (see my previous post) and I used the fire trap as described in a DMScotty video. The magic user used detect magic to determine the brazier (pizza looking disc) was magic, someone spot something behind the columns and they then used up magic spells to figure out how the brazier may work. Conjured up some creatures that got fried when they entered the room, eventually put protection on the paladin and he raced across the room to kill the monkeys who were working trap. Great change of pace from the usual hack and slash...caused them to burn up some spells and no one got hurt. Attachments:

Did any of your players argue with you that monkeys and gorillas are as different from each other as they are from humans, and having them work together is completely unrealistic?

Well... so monkeys and gorillas canot work togheter, but elfs and dwarfs can? In my opinion, if you are immaginative you can justify everything!

"Unrealistic"...funny word choice for D&D The irony is I am a trained biologist and it is often hard for me to NOT make everything in my world rational and logical. The talking Gorilla king had a trained huge scorpion he used to torture humans he had captured for his amusement. How did the Gorilla King control the scorpion my players asked? "Old childhood friends" is what I wanted to reply.

"The scorpion is a sadist, and both the Gorilla King and scorpion benefit from their symbiosis."

"Y'see, kids, when a Scorpion and a Gorilla King work together, they can kill _even more people!_ Isn't evolution great?
Wait, why are you crying?"
I would be a terrible parent...
