Brilliant idea didn't work 09/18/2012 03:15 PM CDT
So I was popping and blowing up boxes since there was no locksmith around AGAIN, and I had what I thought was a brilliant idea to save myself from picking up all my loot from the ground one piece at a time:

>prep 416
You gesture and invoke the powers of the elements for the Piercing Gaze spell...
Your spell is ready.
>cast my str
You gesture at a sturdy steel strongbox.
You gaze at the strongbox and see. . .

A sturdy steel strongbox which contains:
A yellow sapphire (in)
Some silver coins (in)


Peering closely into the lock, you spy a miniature sea-green glaes scarab wedged into the lock mechanism. The scarab's surface is etched with tiny runes that seem to writhe as the light strikes them.

Cast Roundtime 3 Seconds.

[South River Road]
You can see some of the town inhabitants sunning themselves on the opposite bank of the river. In fact, the whole town looks to be a very restful and relaxed place. Local businesses and shops line the roads that you can see in town, displaying their goods for all to see. You also see a weathered haon chest, the Hesha disk and a patio entrance.
Obvious paths: northeast, west
>put str in che
You put a sturdy steel strongbox in a weathered haon chest that is on the ground.
>prep 125
You utter a light chant and raise your hands, beckoning the lesser spirits to aid you with the Call Lightning spell...
Your spell is ready.
>cast str
You gesture at a sturdy steel strongbox.
You notice a small cloud form over a sturdy steel strongbox.
Cast Roundtime 3 Seconds.
>l in che
In the haon chest you see a sturdy steel strongbox and an engraved wooden strongbox.
>
You notice the storm cloud begin to churn rapidly!
>
The storm cloud begins to build into a thunderhead!
>
You hear the rumbling of thunder as the cloud turns an ominous dark hue!
>
Suddenly a lightning bolt explodes from the small thundercloud and strikes a sturdy steel strongbox with a brilliant flash! Wow, quite charred!
The steel strongbox is vaporized!

Local businesses and shops line the roads that you can see in town, displaying their goods for all to see. You also see a rough slab of silver, a yellow sapphire, a dark cloud, a weathered haon chest, the Hesha disk and a patio entrance.

Whelp.... so much for that idea... maybe the next one will work...

A severed gnomish hand crawls in on its fingertips and makes a rude gesture before quickly decaying and rotting into dust. A gust of wind quickly scatters the dust.
