You always carry those watches—thought they could help with timing a trap. Need a quick plan to guard the camp until night. Any thoughts?

Set the main perimeter to trigger a signal at the half‑past point when the sun slants over the ridge. Loop the watches so the one set to “nightfall” ticks down to zero exactly when the last torch sputters. In the meantime, place a decoy path that bends backward, making any attacker think they’ve moved forward. When the wind picks up, let the trap spring; its motion will be recorded by the watches, so you’ll know whether it worked before the next dawn. Just keep the timers in sync, and the camp should stay quiet until darkness.

Sounds solid. I'll set it up and keep an eye on the timers. If anything goes wrong, we deal with it right away. Stay sharp.

Good plan. Just remember: the watches on your wrist will tell you if the trap misfires before the night falls. Keep an eye on them, and the camp will stay quiet. If something slips, I’ll let you know the next tick. Stay on the clock.

Got it. I’ll keep my eye on the watches and watch the ridge. If something goes wrong, you’ll know first. Stay sharp.

Sounds good, just remember the watches tick in reverse—if the trap fires, they'll give you the cue. Keep the ridge calm and the timers steady. Stay sharp.
