What it looks like...
|
|
|
|
Armed:
|
|
A glistening black square, surrounded by a tight ring of fibrous cord, catches your eye.
|
|
Set off!
|
An acrid stream of sulfurous air hisses quietly from a small hole in the <type> <box> ....
Looking blearily up through smoke and pieces of wafting debris, you realize that you must have been less than successful.
|
|
Set off by someone else:
|
<Person> leans closer to the <type> <box>, sniffing suspiciously until a small explosion sends <him> flying back on <his> duff.
|
|
Successfully disarmed:
|
You manage to work the contact fibers away from the cube of black powder lodged inside the lock casement.
|
|
Disarmed (safe):
|
Several strands of wicker detonator lay inside the casement, separated harmlessly from their charge.
|
|
|
Notes:
|
Armor protects body parts against the blast. Some people set these off intentionally in an attempt to cause bleeding they can tend.
|
|
Glance:
|
You see that old glistening black square. Has to be the boomer trap.
-or-
You notice a tight ring of fibrous cord. Chances are it's the old boomer trap.
