the plates cause the pistons to retract dropping lava or water on their head, when they die the pistons will activate and the trap will be ready for the next victim.
a AND gate could be put between the plate and the pistons, the other input linked to a lever inside the fort. when the lever is "on" then the trap will be active, when "off" the trap will be safe allowing us to collect the loot (the items will fall into the area protected by the plates, as liquids don't flow into the same block).
cages can also be made, but only work on mobs.

the mob stands on the plate causing the doors to close, again can be combined with a drowning/lava trap using how liquids treat pressure plates as blocks. it's so nice to go out of your house and find a creeper siting helpless in a 1x1 cage.
