Usage

Verb First Third
PUT (lockpick in bracer) You slide a diamond-crested ivory vaalin hairpin into an empty casing in your mechanized arm-guard. A moment later the gears spring to life as the hairpin disappears into the interior of the arm-guard. This section has not been added yet; please add to it now!
PUSH (successful pick) You press a small red button on the side of your mechanized arm-guard. Suddenly it seems to spring to life as a tiny mechanical arm extends from its interior holding a gear-tipped veniom lockpick. The arm deftly begins to prod with a gear-tipped veniom lockpick at the box!

You settle into the difficult task of picking the lock.
You make a passable attempt (d100=49).
You struggle with the box. As you do, you get a sense that the box has a primitive lock (-15 thief-lingo difficulty ranking). Then...CLICK! It opens!
The mechanized arm quickly retreats back into the interior of the arm-guard.

PUSH (unsuccessful pick) You press a small red button on the side of your mechanized arm-guard. Suddenly it seems to spring to life as a tiny mechanical arm extends from its interior holding a gear-tipped veniom lockpick. The arm deftly begins to prod with a gear-tipped veniom lockpick at the box!

You settle into the difficult task of picking the lock.
You make a passable attempt (d100=43).
You are not able to pick the lock, and learn little about it.

PUSH (not holding a box) You press a small red button on the side of your mechanized arm-guard. Suddenly it seems to spring to life as a tiny mechanical arm extends from its interior holding a gear-tipped veniom lockpick. The arm waves the veniom lockpick about wildly for a moment before retracting back into the arm-guard once again. Perhaps you should be holding a container of some kind?

TURN You spin your mechanized arm-guard, causing its copper gears to whirl. From its interior a veniom casing containing a diamond-crested ivory vaalin hairpin rotates up to the top position. This section has not been added yet; please add to it now!

Usage

Additional Information

Show Description

Intricate gnomish craftsmanship is plainly evident in the design of this mechanized vambrace, with tiny mithglin gears and cogs inlaid within its entire structure. Small silver casings line the interior of the vambrace, while leather-wrapped bands of mithglin are attached to tiny hinges allowing the vambrace to be secured about the arm. A small blue button is inserted into the underside of the vambrace with a large diamond imbedded into the back of the wrist.
