What good does a chest of gold do you if it's buried under a boobytrap so intense that nobody can penetrate it in 200 years of trying? Even if there's some secret way to access it, surely that's been screwed up by all the attempts, especially the one that's flooded the shaft.

It just doesn't make any sense.


That's a good question.

Maybe there's some secret rock nearby where, when you sit on it, the whole contraption rises up out of the sand and you just walk over roll the treasure chest away.
