Trapmaker's Journals

The Perfect Trap

Plunder Valley — On the central stone of the cave room where the skeletons rest.

Even while being forced to work against my will — and don't think I don't know which bird-brain is responsible — I notwithstanding have my pride. Every bit the greatest Trapmaker the Sea of Thieves has e'er seen, I must devise something brilliant to protect an equally brilliant treasure. How, and then, shall I prove the effectiveness of my cosmos? Why, by using a few greedy, grog-addled aureate-diggers as guinea-pigs! I shall begin my experiments upon Discovery Ridge. A few barrels packed with gewgaws should entice pirates into my game…

Bait and Switch

Discovery Ridge — On top of the isle over a barrel next to one of the Trapmaker's white mark.

My start test relied on the curiosity of the participant. First, I primed the location with some supplies that might concenter a passer-by. Side by side, a elementary wooden lever was placed by the barrels. When utilised, it would strike a flint and and then ignite a hidden powder-keg. I had rather assumed natural whimsy would see the lever pulled once spotted, and tucked myself away to observe what came next. The outset pirate to get in promptly wrenched my lever from its housing and absconded with information technology. "Nice hat stand up", I heard him remark. Subterfuge bests psychology when dealing with such acquisitive crooks. I shall return to my workshop, and to the cartoon board…

Making My Point

Sailors Compensation — Underneath a workshop desk in Trapmaker's lair.

Recently, I've been testing different kinds of blades to see which are the most useful for 'deterring' intruders. I've had some success with sword traps, as they await fearsome and have an first-class range. They're expensive to make, of class. Saw traps use shorter, duller metal blades, and are definitely useful in confined spaces. Even so, they lack a certain way… Or should I become back to the tried-and-tested "wall o' stakes"? Though primitive, you can't fence with the classics. Decisions, decisions…

We Want Plates

Sailors Bounty — Next to an anvil in Trapmaker'south lair.

Some experimentation with weight and counterweights have allowed me to devise a new trigger, as well as protection for my workshop. Even working with wood, for metal is precious and in short supply, I can use the weight of any intruder to leap a nearby trap. Every bit sensitive as these devices are, it is nigh impossible to disguise them entirely. Thus, they are best deployed in darker areas. Unfortunately, I have been unable to completely muffle the noise fabricated by the mechanism when someone blunders onto information technology. A cunning criminal with sharp ears might, I suppose, get enough warning to save their own skin. Regardless, I am making progress…

A Worthy Opponent

Sailors Bounty — Underneath the bed in Trapmaker'due south lair.

The more than time I spend with Briggsy, the more I wonder if all pirates are ultimately fated to be consumed by their own greed. Is the endless pursuit of golden and glitter, in and of itself, the greatest trap of all? Equally an experiment, I have decided to exit a trail that will lead to the very treasure I have been commanded to protect. They'll exist devious clues, of course. Ones that goad, deliberately mislead and examination the mettle of those who read them. 1 last game, and so, winner takes all. Is there someone out in that location on the Ocean of Thieves worthy of the rock? We shall see…
