In theory, making a trap like this was easy. Dig a hole. Drop some spikes inside. Cover it up. Done. But if Ben wanted it to be effective he needed to ensure it worked flawlessly.
The key wasn't just how lethal the spikes were inside. It was how much weight would trigger the collapse. Ideally, it needed to be sensitive enough to trigger only when a Ravager stepped on it—not wasted on something as light as debris or a stray Krell.
Ben clicked his tongue. 'If Elvira were here, she could probably make some kind of detection magic to handle that…' But as he looked at the stronghold, still in the middle of reconstruction, he let out a sigh. That wasn't an option. Not yet. What if the Ravagers came while he was away?
At the very least, the base needed to withstand another wave. 'There's another method… What if I make one that can be triggered manually?'
