Dismantle command
The DISMANTLE command is primarily used to destroy <box>es 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 <box>: This will default to a normal dismantle, with no special moves or messaging.
DISMANTLE <box> <option>: Dismantle using the options below.
BASH
Requirement: Barbarian
- Wooden <box>: ?
- Others see:<name> 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, <name> grins savagely.
- You see:Tossing common sense to the wind, you take the <box> and forcibly smash it against your forehead...

BUNNY
Notes: Rarely works
- 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 <box> in your grasp, wondering what next to do with it. As a caravan comes thundering by, you casually toss the <box> under a wheel, smiling at the satisfying crunch that results.

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, <name> 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.

JUMP

Others see:
- <name> 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.

PRAY
Requirement: Cleric
Messaging depends on the Cleric's devotion level.
Messaging to others:
- <name> 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 <name>, then melt away into the shadows.

SALVAGE

- 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:
- <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.
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.
SLIP
Requirement: Thief + Slip ability
Others see:

THUMP
Requirement: Thief OR 200+ Mechanical Lore
Others see:
- <name> 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.

TINKER
Requirement: Gnome
Others see:
- <name> 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 <name> scatters with a disappointed kick, mumbling something about inferior parts.

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!
