Keywords are:  'deathtraps trap'

A deathtrap is traditionally defined as a place where your character is
intended to die with no possibility of escape.  On some games, you could
die in a deathtrap for very simple mistakes, such as picking the wrong
answer to a riddle or accidentally walking in the wrong direction.

In general, there are no deathtraps on Alter Aeon.

However, there are some extremely dangerous places, and at low levels it
may not be possible to escape before meeting your doom.  It's still
important to watch where you are going and to scan for danger, even
though there are no true deathtraps.
