Everytime I read something like this, my mind just goes "just port Gary Gygax's infamous "Tomb of Horrors" to your favorite scenario"

I thought so, while writing this, but the only way to make it perfectly clear would probably just be to spoil what is going to happen. Any warning, as dire as they may be, may be seen as a challenge otherwise.

Townsfolk: "No one dares to go even near these woods. Even $WellKnownHighlevelLegendaryHero found his end there!"

Tavern: "Keep away from the woods to the east!"

City guards (obviously more experienced and way higher level than the group): "We've lost so many troops around there, no one goes there in that wishes to live on."

"Everyday there are funerals on the towns cemetery - concerning part is, that that only happens on the northern cemetery, where people from the eastern fields near the woods are buried."

"The east gate of the town is closed. Only the grave diggers may use it to deliver new corpses of adventurous groups and heroes like you"

"You look weaker than the other bunch who dare to come here. Are you suicidal or ...?"

"You have the feeling that something's a bit unusual here. Everyone is armed, even the children."

"You begin to notice the fine gear and the muscular shape of the bloody, dismembered dead bodies constantly arriving at the east gate."

"On your way east toward the forest you pass many warning signs, each one getting drastically more graphic that the ones before..."

"You arrive at the edge of the wood, eager to enter. Your game master breaks the fourth wall and directly asks you bluntly 'Are you sure you want to do that?' and hands you some dice..."

Let's see... Ho Lee Sheet, I need to start doing that. But I guess my players will suspect Sum Tin Wong

Although powerful enough to paralyze smaller animals, the venom is not lethal to humans.

Phew, we are safe!

Still, it produces excruciating pain that may be intense enough to incapacitate a victim. Swelling rapidly develops around the entry wound and gradually spreads outward.

Ok, doesn’t sound fun, it could be worse…

Information obtained from case studies shows that the pain develops into a long-lasting hyperalgesia that can persist for months but usually lasts from a few days to a few weeks. A clinical report from 1992 showed that the severe pain was persistent and did not respond to morphine.

Well, fuck.

In 1991 Keith Payne, […]was struck on the hand by a platypus spur while trying to rescue the stranded animal. He described the pain as worse than being struck by shrapnel. A month later he was still experiencing pain in that hand. In 2006, Payne reported discomfort and stiffness when carrying out some physical activities such as using a hammer.

15 years?!

Are there any cast-delays or such? Otherwise, you could just say I cast, as soon as they're 30ft away
