'''Drowning chambers''' are multipurpose rooms (basically advanced [[pit trap]]s) that can rapidly fill up with and be drained of [[water]]. An effectively built drowning chamber linked up to a [[dam]]med [[river]] or open to the [[ocean]] can be used to drown and dispose of [[ambush|invader]]s, [[elf|hippies]], [[noble|loudmouth]]s, and [[megabeast|other]] [[titan|above-ground]] [[night creature|nuisances]], as long as they have a need to breathe and cannot breathe underwater. It is thus an effective [[defense guide|defensive strategy]], acting like a [[stupid dwarf trick|megaproject]] [[trap design|trap]] that can dispose of almost anything that threatens you from the surface. A more powerful variation of a drowning chamber (using [[magma]] of course) is a melting chamber, which is truly 100% effective against surface-based threats. | '''Drowning chambers''' are multipurpose rooms (basically advanced [[pit trap]]s) that can rapidly fill up with and be drained of [[water]].
