Dismantle command

The DISMANTLE command is primarily used to destroy boxes found on creatures, after the box has been emptied. The command will still work with a box that still has items in it, but will dump the items on the ground. The box must have been disarmed and unlocked.

Syntax

DISMANTLE <item>: This will default to a normal dismantle, with no special moves or messaging.
DISMANTLE <item> <option>: Dismantle using the options below.

BASH

Requirement: Barbarian

• Wooden Box: ?

<Person> suddenly smashes the <box> against his forehead. His eyes cross momentarily as the <box> bursts in a flurry of flying splinters about his head. With a satisified grunt, <person> grins savagely.

• Metal Box: ?

?

BUNNY

Notes: Rarely works

• Failure: While bunnies are useful for a great many things, they do not as a general rule serve well as janitors.
• Wooden Box: 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

Requirement: Trader + Outdoor

• You gaze at the pine crate in your grasp, wondering what next to do with it. As a caravan comes thundering by, you casually toss the pine crate under a wheel, smiling at the satisfying crunch that results.

Requirement: Rakash

Requirement: Prydaen

CRUSH

Requirement: Gor'tog or Strength >= ?32?

• Wooden Box: Rolling your shoulders to loosen them, you grasp the <box> between your hands and begin to exert force, pressing inward on the sides.

Rolling <his/her> shoulders to loosen them, <person> grasps the <box> between his hands and begins to exert force pressing inward. The material of the <box> obviously resists, but it is no match for <his/her> strength. With a loud "CRACK", the metal of the <box> compresses into a mangled mass of twisted metal which he tosses aside.

Requirement: Warrior Mage (works even with no spells)

FOCUS

Requirement: Moon Mage

JUMP

Requirement: Gnome
Messaging to others:

PERSON throws the BOX to the ground and jumps inside it. He proceeds to flail around in a wild frenzy of kicks that break the joints holding the BOX together. The final joint gives way suddenly to a particularly strong kick that leaves him flat on his back. Dusting himself off, he stands up and smiles.

The final joint gives way suddenly to a particularly strong kick that leaves you flat on your back on top of the pieces. Dusting yourself off, you stand up and smile.

PRAY

Requirement: Cleric
Messaging to others:

PERSON chants an unintelligible prayer beneath his breath. In response, a swarm of warty gremlins wielding miniature axes and prybars gleefully converge on the BOX. Erupting into a frenzy of destruction, the gremlins quickly reduce the BOX to splinters of wood, bow mockingly towards PERSON, then melt away into the shadows.

Messaging to self:

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 converge on the BOX. Erupting into a frenzy of destruction, the gremlins quickly reduce the BOX to splinters of wood, bow mockingly towards you, then melt away into the shadows.

PRESS

Requirement:

SALVAGE

Requirement: Trader + Indoor
Thief messaging to others:

PERSON slowly starts picking apart the BOX in his hands, trying to determine what he can possibly use from it. After a few moments, he has nothing left for his troubles, having discarded everything.

Messaging to self:

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.

Additional Thief messaging to self:

Oh well, if you ever need some spare parts you can always just steal them, after all.

SHRIEK

Requirement: Bard

SLAM

Requirement: Kaldar
Non-Kaldar messaging to others:

PERSON 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 PERSON is hopping around on one foot clutching his knee, it looks like the BOX won.

Non-Kaldar messaging to self:

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.

SLIP

Requirement: Thief + Slip ability
Messaging to others:

Perception check. Failure will not show a message.

Messaging to self:

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.

THUMP

Requirement: Thief OR 200+ Mechanical Lore
Messaging to others:

Messaging to others:

PERSON displays a confident smirk as he raps the BOX once with his 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. However, any hope of reassembly is destroyed as PERSON kicks the neatly ordered pieces aside.

TINKER

Requirement: Gnome
Messaging to others:

PERSON studies the BOX thoughtfully, poking and prodding various areas to test for strengths and weaknesses. Muttering under his breath, he quickly begins to dismantle the copper chest and rearrange the parts into a strange-looking device of some sort. Unfortunately, the contraption collapses into a heap which PERSON scatters with a disappointed kick, mumbling something about inferior parts.

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.
