You begin work at disarming the coffer.

Not sure where to start, you begin by prying off the body of the crusty scarab, hoping to break it free of its clinging legs. It seems to work, until the discarded insect body explodes in a swirl of sand.

The sand devil spins and whirls, rapidly growing in intensity until it reaches the size of several Humans. As the stinging winds die down, they leave in their place several very angry vykathi reapers standing right beside you!

The stinging, sandy winds have made you pause.
Roundtime: 12 seconds.
Roundtime: 6 sec.

The orc raider closes to pole weapon range on you!

The vykathi reaper retreats from you.

The vykathi reaper retreats from you.

The vykathi reaper retreats from you.

Shouldn't reapers flex or something? It just seems funny that they'd run from me immediately.

>>Shouldn't reapers flex or something

AFAIK they're based on the difficulty of the box not the skills of the person popping it.

Unless you're asking about something else.

Uzmam! The Chairman will NOT be pleased to know you're trying to build outside of approved zones. I'd hate for you to be charged the taxes needed to have this place re-zoned. Head for the manor if you're feeling creative.

> My impression what that they were retreating from me because they appraised me to be too difficult to fight.

I don't think critters do that anymore. Off the top of my head, I'm only certain that dusk ogres don't, but I thought it was a general change to AI.

>as well as higher tier gryphons (because flying wasn't annoying enough).

Yeah, I'm in raiders now because I didn't want to deal with the flying gryphons.

Anyway, it's not a major bug, it just makes that trap completely harmless to me is all.
