Effect

When an attempt is made to open the door, the room fills up with sewer water at the rate of 1 ft. per round. After 10 rounds, the room is completely filled to its 10 ft. height. A DC 10 Swim check is required each round to stay afloat; once the room fills up, all characters are subject to drowning.
Once the mechanical trap is set off, the magical trap springs. A small rune on the wall flashes brightly and then trails off smoke. Everyone in the room must make a DC 23 Will save or attack the nearest conscious creature, as per the symbol of strife spell. The duration of this effect is 18 rounds.

Since the party knows that the Order of the Staff is coming, the PCs can use the sewer strife trap against their foes if they are helping the Banlan Brotherhood.

If the adventurers decide to help the Order of the Staff, they can disarm the trap or otherwise warn the mages (who proceed into the room unheeded if not alerted to the danger).
