You've got a point there, Mercer. :|
But on the other hand... shiny ship! :iconlawooplz:


This one is based on those half dozen times I died because I got obsessed obtaining a model ship placed in the middle of a trapped room. That was actually the first time I encountered those fire traps, too - otherwise I would've known to shoot them down from the doorway and not dash through the burning room for some sorry artifact. Trial and error, trial and error...
I also must point out that I joined Thieves Guild at very low levels (and invested almost all my points to stamina instead of health) so the whole Snow Veil Sanctum was pretty darn deadly place for poor Bron. Never have I been as happy to have Mercer Frey by my side as at the time when I came across a room full of Draugr Scourges or Deathlords or whatever... While they focused on beating the crap out of Mercer I could shoot them full of arrows from a much safer distance. :D

Anyway, this comic was somewhat better in my head, but as it turns out it's a bit too late to second guess when you have already spend eight hours inking and coloring. :shrug: Ah, well.

Well, Bron just needs the VocalMethod!

Obvious trap? Not a problem. Just

1. Get out bow/spell/anything that can attack at a distance.

2. Strike either the obviously boobytrapped object (Or the lanterns if they are in the area)

3. Once explosions and fire settle, grab your prize! (if the explosions didn't knock it into a shadow and you lost it)

Snow Veil Sanctum just north of Windhelm. You'll need to be in the Thieves' Guild to access the tomb during the TG questline.

It's in this 1 place(forgot the name, but it's a tomb north of Windhelm) during the mission where you and Mercer go to kill Karliah.

Fire traps?! I played through the whole questline, and never heard of such ridiculous things!

Came across that ship yesterday... But I was aware of the trap. Even if I wasn't, when in a Nordic tomb, oil leaks and lamps make very bad bedfellows ! :D

I simply shot one lamp down, then spent five good minutes looking for the ship that was sent flying over the downstairs room, aaand finally went on without a scratch :3

Lol I loved the thieves' quests best, still wish I could have sided with Mercer, I liked him better than Karliah, yes makes me a masochist given that he did try to kill you. Something about his never ending contempt for the Dragonborn lol.
