|
Armed:

|
Imbedded in the front of the <type> <box> is a small glass tube of milky-white opacity. Small black dots bounce inside, though the lack of transparency makes it impossible to be certain what they are.
|
|
Set off!
|
You wiggle the milky-white tube back and forth for a few moments in an attempt to remove it from the , but the sudden *SNAP* of breaking glass indicates you were less than successful.

Set off by someone else:
|
<Person> begins to fiddle with <his> <type> <box>, concentrating on the small milky-white tube on its front.
There is a sudden *SNAP* as the glass tube breaks open. Then, like a Halfling blowing smoke rings, the <type> <box> spits several clouds of coarse black powder onto <him> and <his> clothing.
|
|
Successfully disarmed:
|
After wiggling it back and forth for a few moments, you manage to pull the milky-white tube away from the <type> <box> without breaking it. Just for fun, you give the tube a vigorous shaking before discarding it, which seems to annoy the heck out of the little black dots inside.

|
