For example, a +5 pitfall longsword gives you a +5 bonus to initiative, +5 to Reflex saves made to avoid traps, and a +5 bonus to AC against attacks made by traps. Wielding two weapons with the pitfall weapon quality only grants the bonuses from the better weapon.

Alternatively, you may close the scroll, and the next person to open it triggers this animation. After 10 minutes, the raucous canard disappears in a small shower of sparks. Scheming nobles like to use these to spread gossip about their enemies.
