lockpick
You settle into the difficult task of picking the lock.
You make a lame attempt (d100=22).
You struggle with the trunk. As you do, you get a sense that the trunk has a primitive lock (-5 thief-lingo difficulty ranking). Then...CLICK! It opens!
As you push your lockpick into the lock mechanism, you hear a buzzing noise coming from within an acid-pitted mithril trunk. Something darts out of the trunk and settles at the lock opening! A tiny insect with a glimmering opalescent shell flutters there momentarily, then opens its wings and faces you!
A glimmering opalescent scarab releases a radiant burst of energy towards you!
d100 == 1 FUMBLE!
Chittering noisily, the opalescent scarab disappears once more into the trunk.
Roundtime: 10 sec.
