disarm my trun
Having discovered a trap on the trunk you begin to carefully attempt to disarm it...

Something just went horribly awry!

As you poke around inside the lock, you hear a buzzing noise coming from within a weathered maoral trunk. Something darts out of the trunk and settles at the lock opening! A tiny translucent insect with a large eye etched on its shell flutters there momentarily, then scuttles about and faces away from you!

An etched translucent scarab focuses the eye etched into its back towards you!
An etched translucent scarab stares into your eyes.

Warding failed!
The translucent scarab suddenly transforms into a horridly grotesque image, inducing utter terror in your soul!
A gut-wrenching fear twists deep into your soul. You turn pale and then fall limp to the ground, killed by some inconceivable fear!
The deep blue glow leaves you.
The light blue glow leaves you.
The bright luminescence fades from around you.
The silvery luminescence fades from around you.
The glowing specks of energy surrounding you suddenly shoot off in all directions, then quickly fade away.
The focused look leaves you.
The powerful look leaves you.

It seems you have died, my friend. Although you cannot do anything, you are keenly aware of what is going on around you...

You mentally give a sigh of relief as you remember that the Goddess Lorminstra owes you a favor.

...departing in 10 mins...
Chittering noisily, the translucent scarab disappears once more into the trunk.
