Trap Designer Union Demands Royalties After Solution Posted Online
The International Brotherhood of Trap Designers has filed a cease-and-desist order against adventurer StreamerKnight42 after his CrystalTube video revealing the solution to the Thornkeep Sliding Block Puzzle accumulated over two million views. The puzzle, which took master architect Eloise Triggerspring fourteen months to design and construct, was solved in the video in approximately forty-five seconds, with StreamerKnight42 audibly eating dried meat throughout. "Fourteen months," Triggerspring repeated during a press conference, visibly shaking. "I hand-carved each block from enchanted obsidian. I calibrated the weight sensors to respond to differences of one-quarter ounce. And this individual just pushes block A to slot C and walks through like it's a turnstile." The Thornkeep dungeon has reported a 90% increase in successful completions since the video aired, with parties now breezing through the formerly deadly chamber in under a minute.
