|||
* {{tt|DISMANTLE}} ''<box> <option>'': Dismantle using the options below. |

- Missing some disarms, including several moon mage sects, and messaging
- Please see Category:Incomplete articles for more articles that are incomplete.
The DISMANTLE command can be used to destroy boxes looted from creatures, after the box has been disarmed, picked, and emptied.
Syntax and usage
Dismantling a box gives a short roundtime.
- DISMANTLE <box>: This will default to a normal dismantle, with no special moves or messaging.
- DISMANTLE <box> <option>: Dismantle using the options below.
If you attempt to dismantle a box that still has items in it, you will be asked if you want to dump the items on the ground before dismantling again.
BASH
Requirement: Barbarian
Wooden Box
You see: Tossing common sense to the wind, you take the <box> and forcibly smash it against your forehead...
- The impact causes your eyes to momentarily cross as pieces of the <box> burst around your head in a cloud of flying splinters. With a satisfied grunt, you drop the remains from your hand and grin.
Others see: <Person> suddenly smashes the <box> against <his/her> forehead. <His/Her> eyes cross momentarily as the <box> bursts in a flurry of flying splinters about <his/her> head. With a satisfied grunt, <Person> grins savagely.
Metal Box
You see: Tossing common sense to the wind, you take the <box> and forcibly smash it against your forehead...
- The impact causes your eyes to momentarily cross as your forehead produces a sizable dent in the <box> but fails to shatter it as intended. With a disgusted grunt you toss the <box> aside, offering a foolish grin to anyone who might have seen your failure.
Others see: <Person> suddenly smashes the <box> against <his/her> forehead. <His/Her> eyes cross momentarily as <his/her> forehead creates a sizable dent in the <box>. With a disgusted grunt, <Person> tosses the <box> aside with a foolish grin.
BUNNY
Notes: Very infrequent success rate (by design).
Failure: While bunnies are useful for a great many things, they do not as a general rule serve well as janitors.
Wooden Box
You see: An adorable grey bunny hops up to you and gazes longingly at your <box>. The moment the desired item is handed over, the bunny bares a surprisingly fierce set of teeth and reduces the <box> to a pathetic pile of splinters. Its mission complete, the bunny hops away.

CARAVAN
Requirements: Trader; must be done outdoors.
Failure: Aren't those generally found outdoors?

Others see: <person> gazes at the <box> in his/her hands, sighing. As a caravan comes thundering by, <person> casually tosses the wooden box in its path, a smug smile spreading over his/her face at the resulting crunch.

Others see: <Person> chomps down on the <box>, sinking <his/her> fangs into it and cracking it into pieces. <He/She> spits a small piece toward the ground on <his/her> left.
Metal Box
You see: You chomp down on the <box> and almost break your fangs! ICK! Now your mouth tastes like a rusty nail! You continue to chomp it, denting it heavily with each gnaw until it springs apart.
Others see: ???
Not in Moonskin

CLAW
Requirement: Prydaen
Wooden Box
You see: You study the <box> momentarily and then extend your claws. In an impressive display, you do a very good imitation of a cat sharpening its claws on the <box> but with even more dramatic results. Pieces of the <box> shred beneath your furious clawing and fall to the ground in a growing pile. Eventually, you are left with nothing but a few remaining splinters in your hands which you pluck out and discard.

Metal Box
You see: You study the <box> momentarily and then extend your claws. In a particularly futile maneuver, you do a very good imitation of a cat sharpening its claws on the <box>. However, the metal of the <box> is more than proof against your claws. You do manage however to produce a particularly offensive sound that sets your teeth on edge. With a snarl, you toss the <box> aside.

FOCUS
Requirement: Moon Mage Note: Messaging depends on the Moon Mage's sect.
Sectless
You see: You close your eyes and hold the <box> in both hands, focusing your thoughts solely on the object. A bright shroud of <moon colored> light encompasses the <box> momentarily and you open your eyes as the light subsides. You smile confidently as the light reveals your empty hands.

Celestial Compact
You see: You narrow your eyes and hold the <box> in both hands, focusing your thoughts solely on the object. Incandescent crimson beams suddenly erupt from the <box>, piercing the wooden surface from within and tearing out of the now straining seams. Contrasting the sudden burst of fiery light, icy blue wisps emerge from the wood itself and slowly frost over the <box>, surrounding the brilliant beams in a pale glow. With a final shudder, black shadows envelop the other lights, completely obscuring the <box> from view. When the darkness recedes only a few sparking embers remain, which you casually toss aside.

Fortune's Path
Metal Box
You see:You still yourself and take a couple deep breaths, trying to focus on your luck. After looking the steel coffer over casually, you fling it into the air and send it spinning like a die before nonchalantly looking away. The steel coffer smashes to the ground, happening to land on the exact weak spot in the metal, crumpling it severely. You flash a wide grin and kick the junk aside.

Heritage House
You see: You close your eyes and hold the <box> in both hands, trying to still your mind from distractions. When you feel suitably centered, you open your eyes and study the <box> carefully, taking note of its construction and of the pieces that create the whole. You then focus intently on the <box> and force your power into it, causing its individual pieces to simultaneously wink out of existence and appear a few inches away from where they started. The mass of wood and nails falls to the ground and you kick it aside, confident in your knowledge of its creation.
Others see:<name> closes his eyes and holds his <box> with both hands, breathing deeply.

Monks of the Crystal Hand
Metal Box
You see: You close your eyes and still your thoughts, striving for perfect inner quiet. When your thoughts are fully silenced, you slowly raise your foot and place the <box> squarely on the top of your toes. You carefully lower your leg and then quickly kick it back up, sending the <box> flying straight up into the air. With firm discipline, you wait patiently for the <box> to fall, your body perfectly poised to strike. When the <box> finally reaches the height of your head, you hammer it with your fist, sending the <box> crashing to the ground and crumpling it into a worthless mass of metal.

Nomads of the Arid Steppe
Metal Box
You see: You place the steel strongbox on the ground and chant a small phrase of offering to the ancients. As you chant, you feel their presence around you and their voices add to yours. The power flows from your lips and the metal of the steel strongbox begins to shift and become translucent like a mirage. Slowly, it fades from view and you feel the presence of your ancestors go with it.
Others see: <name> places the steel strongbox on the ground and begins a tribal chant.

Progeny of Tezirah
Metal Box
You see: You close your eyes and hold the <box> in both hands, focusing your thoughts solely on the object. When you feel adequately centered, you mutter a cryptic phrase and open your eyes.

The sound of screeching metal issues forth from the shadows and you hold your focus just long enough before you allow the shadows to recede, revealing your now empty hands. Others see: <name> closes his eyes and holds <box> with both hands, breathing deeply. After a brief moment, <name> opens his eyes and mutters a cryptic phrase, causing impenetrably dark shadows to spider-web their way out from his hands to cover the <box>, completely obscuring it from view. The sound of screeching metal briefly issues forth from the shadows before they recede, revealing <name>'s now empty hands.

Prophets of G'nar-Peth
Metal Box
You see:You close your eyes, calming your thoughts and ignoring the fallacy of mundane vision.

Sensing that the moment is now, you focus your energy and the steel coffer fades from view. You open your eyes, smiling slightly.
Others see: <Name> closes his eyes and acquires a look of intense concentration. <Name> breathes deeply and almost seems to be waiting for something. You blink and the steel strongbox that was in <Name>'s hands is no longer there. <Name> opens his eyes and smiles slightly.

JUMP
Requirement: Gnome
You see: You throw the <box> to the ground and jump inside it. You proceed to flail around in a wild frenzy of kicks that break the joints holding the <box> together.

PRAY
Requirement: Cleric
Notes: Messaging depends on the Cleric's Devotion level.
Novice Cleric with no god
You see: You chant a quiet prayer to the Immortals, calling upon your devotion to their service. In response, an overwhelming sense of disapproval settles over you, causing your blood to run cold. Without warning, the <box> breaks apart, the pieces falling from your trembling hands.
Others see: <name> chants an unintelligible prayer beneath his breath. At first nothing seems to be happening, but then <name> pales visibly as the <box> suddenly breaks apart, falling from his trembling hands.
Devotion: 13/16
You see: You chant a quiet prayer to the Immortals, calling upon your devotion to their service. In response, a swarm of warty gremlins wielding miniature axes and prybars gleefully scamper into the area. Moving as one, they drop their implements and begin to gesture rudely at you while blowing raspberries. The gremlins retrieve their tools and troop off, laughing maliciously. The last to leave pauses a moment to snatch the <box> and spit a nasty glob of phlegm in your direction before melting away into the shadows.

PRESS
Requirement: Elothean
You see: You casually study the <box>, searching for the inherent imperfection that all non-Elothean constructs invariably contain. After a brief moment, you scoff quietly, disappointed at the ease with which the weak spot was detected. Applying slight pressure to it, you reduce the <box> to a handful of pieces, which fall to the ground.
Others see: <name> begins to closely examine his <box>. After a brief moment, he turns his eyes to the heavens and scoffs quietly. At nothing more than a precise touch, the <box> separates into a handful of pieces, which fall to the ground.
ROAR
Requirement: ???

Others see: ???
SALVAGE
Failure:
You see (Trader): You slowly start picking apart the components of your <box>, trying to find some reusable pieces in it somewhere. After tossing away nails that aren't quite straight enough and bits of material that are damaged beyond repair, you find yourself left with nothing.

SHRIEK
Requirement: Bard

SLAM
Requirement: Kaldar Others see:
- Failure
You see: You raise your <box> over your head, then slam it down as you drive your knee up to meet it! A loud CRACK! followed by the dull throbbing in your knee suggests that it wasn't the <box> that lost that particular battle. Count yourself fortunate that the only thing truly injured is your pride.
Others see: <name> raises a <box> over his head, then slams it down as he drives his knee up to meet it! A loud CRACK! follows, but judging from the way <name> is hopping around on one foot clutching his knee, it looks like the <box> won.
- Success
You see: You study the <box> grimly, looking for a weakness in the metal construction. Satisfied, you grab the it firmly by the sides and hoist it high over your head. Eyes narrowed in determination, you slam the <box> down with all your strength as you drive your knee up to meet it. The strike is perfect, the metal folding under the force of the impact. With a disdainful glance at the twisted heap, you casually toss it aside.

SLIP
Requirement: Thief + Slip ability
Notes: Perception check
You see: Casually, so as not to attract attention, you begin to disassemble your <box>. As each piece comes loose, you quickly discard it until you're finally left with empty hands.
Others see: {nothing}
STOMP
Requirement: Dwarf
You see: You throw the <box> to the ground, jump up on top of the <box> and start to stomp out a fierce cadence. You can feel the <box> weaken under the pounding of your feet. Suddenly the <box> collapses in a mangled wreck of twisted metal, which you pound into the ground with a few more well placed stomps.

THUMP
Requirement: Thief OR ??? (Formerly 200+ Mechanical Lore skill)
You see: With a smirk of supreme confidence, you rap the <box> once with a knuckle. The <box> collapses and its pieces fall to the ground in what can only be described as a surreally ordered fashion. You could almost reassemble the neatly laid out pieces, needing no plans for its construction. Order being something of an anathema to you, you kick the pieces aside.

TINKER
Requirement: Gnome
You see:You study the <box> thoughtfully, poking and prodding various areas to test for strengths and weaknesses. Muttering something about inferior hinge and lock designs, you quickly begin to dismantle the <box> and rearrange the parts into what you hope will be a functioning device! Unfortunately, due to the use of parts made by the clumsier races, the contraption collapses into a heap which you scatter with a disappointed kick.

WHISTLE
Requirement: Ranger
Messaging depends on whether the Ranger has an animal companion.
No companion
You see: You let out a shrill whistle. When nothing responds you kick the <box> aside with a grunt of disgust. You lose track of the <box> as the realization hits you that your foot really hurts. Grabbing your foot, you make a fool of yourself hopping up and down in pain.

Wolf
You see: You place a few pieces of meat inside the <box> and then let out a shrill whistle. A few moments later, a wolf runs up to sniff at your offering. It cautiously sticks its head inside the box to take a bite, and then grasps the <box> and drags it out of sight.
