Trapped Wooden Box

[nubnub]

Yesterday I was bored so I started farming the Yew crypt liches... I was farming them 1v1, to prevent using all of my mana in case the prize arrived - a solo red. On one of the liches, immediately, a wooden box appeared within its corpse. I am aware of the ruse and did not open and have my razor configured accordingly, but took the wooden box anyway. I immediately cast earthquake but did not attack any hidden players. I ran several screens away, dropped the wooden box on the ground and cast telekinesis from a coupe tiles away, took no damage and then approached the box and opened and found 10 kindling (wooden box = 10 items, 50 stones).

Ok, no biggie... another wanna-be trolling spawn BUT I found nothing when I was casting earthquake... I did fizzle a few but still found nothing so I assume the actor dropped the wooden box on corpses (spawn or player) until a spawn picked it up - thus anyone that came along later and killed the spawn and opened would die regardless of an attempt by the killer to loot (seems the modus operandi of the actor is to obtain kills with no focus on looting).

So with that said, business as usual in UO2A, but the next day, after I had already dropped the wooden box the previous day and used telekinesis against it, I logged in, opened the box I died and was provided the 'report for murder' gump... I had already dismantled this trap the previous day and opened/viewed the wooden boxes' contents, not sure why/how it could re-trap within the following day while still in my pack and kill my char?

Killer is jigsaw, and no issue with his/her method- quite effective - seen his/her work in other scenarios...but not sure how the re-trap can occur after I had already dismantled the trap, viewed the contents, went home and logged (with the intention of transferring to my tinker to re-trap) and still killing me when re-opening the next day. None of this took place during server wars/save.

Any thoughts?

Jigsaw is a tinkerer. You got the box, cast EQ, he was out of range, you didn't open it, and when you set it down and telekenesis it open, he retrapped it just late. he was trying to blow you up when you went in to open it after tele. Then, you left the box open, so the trap did not trigger as you likely have "auto search off", and only opening the box triggers the trap. Next day, you blew yourself up.

If not that, then the explanation is "because Malice willed it".

Or he knows where you live, went to your (patio?), chopped the clean one and replaced it with a dirty one.
