Choice Text and Results

Unlock it

The lock looks absolutely ancient, but you don't have a key that fits it.

Pound on it

At 13?-19 Strength:

You pound on the door with all your strength, each blow booming like thunder. However, it doesn't seem to be enough as the lock holds firm.

You've gained 25 duration of Storage Noise.

You've earned 2 XP in Strength

At 20+ Strength:

You pound on the door with all your strength, each blow booming like thunder. Eventually the lock gives way.

You've gained 50 duration of Storage Noise.

You've earned 4 XP in Strength

(Same result with hammer weapon)

Dismantle it

Without salvaging tools:

You might be able to pick this apart with the proper tools, but you don't have anything like that on hand.

Or, with salvaging tools:

You peel the steel hinges apart, your tools shrieking against the metal. It isn't fun, but you manage to break it down.

You found: 2-3 steel ingots

You've gained 20 duration of Storage Noise.

Pry it open

Without an appropriate weapon:

The door's surface is unforgiving to your hands. You'd probably want something like a crowbar or even just a big lever.

With a crowbar weapon equipped:

Wedging your crowbar in the door, you pop it open with deceptive ease.

You've gained 10 duration of Storage Noise.

You've earned 4 XP in Strength

With a I-beam weapon equipped:

With enough leverage, you're able to pop the lock open.

You've gained 10 duration of Storage Noise.

You've earned 4 XP in Strength

Leave it be

Ignoring the literal warning signs seems like a bad idea, so you back off.

(Walk Away)
