me: You settle into the difficult task of picking the lock. You make an adequate attempt (d100=55). You struggle with the chest. As you do, you get a sense that the chest has an extremely easy lock (-105 thief-lingo difficulty ranking). Then...CLICK! It opens! Roundtime: 10 sec. sR>open my chest Ok, it opened.
Suddenly, an engraved fel chest gives off a loud sizzle, and explodes in a bright flash! Being closest, you take the brunt of the blast! ... 50 points of damage! Massive blow to your abdomen! You are stunned for 8 rounds!
The chest's casing is blasted into hundreds of tiny flechettes!
You are severely perforated! ... 25 points of damage! Beautiful shot pierces skull! Amazing you weren't killed outright! ... 15 points of damage! Loud *crack* as your sternum breaks! ... 25 points of damage! Neck skewered, sliding past the throat and spine! That looks painful.
Someone screams, "Endangering public safety by Lancastah! Call the town constable!" Joshua: looks like it's back to jail for me. WHOF WHOF WHOF WHOF Joshua: how come i cain't get no tang round here?!
