Description: A 4 yard by 16 yard room, with hew walls and a masonry floor. Every two yards a curtain made of iron chains hangs from the ceiling, stretching across the short way (a total of seven curtains).

Chain curtains: Attacking through a chain curtain gives a -2 to attack, cumulative, and an extra 2 DR to the opponent. Moving through a chain curtain at a speed faster than a step deals 1 damage to the skull, face, or either arm (25% chance of each), with armor protecting normally. Moving through a chain curtain without making noise requires a Stealth-2 check. Seeing through the chain curtains is at -2, plus -1 per additional curtain.

Hearing: -3 (if the chains are being moved to hear things that are not the chains moving)
Vision: -10 (no light), -2 for looking through a curtain, -1 per additional chain curtain.

Treasure: Each chain is three yards long, and each curtain has 12 chains, and there are 7 curtains. That's 252 yards of chain, spread over 84 chains, weighing 1512 lbs, and worth $3,780. Cutting each chain down requires cutting DR 6 HP 2 at a location 9 feet above the ground, and is quite loud.

Exits: Stone archways at each end of the room

Notes: No monsters here... but when put in front of or nearby monsters, its will make for an interesting tactical feature.
