Chests and large boxes each have a 10% chance of being protected by a container trap. If you apply, loot or kick open a trapped container, or use a unlocking tool to lock or unlock it, the trap will be set off. The #untrap command checks a container for traps, and will prompt you to disarm it if one is found.
The type of trap on a trapped container is not determined until it is set off.
Wishing for a “poisoned” large box or chest will create one that is guaranteed to be trapped.
Disarming
Use the #untrap command on your current square (.) to search a container in that square for traps. If a trap exists on a container, the chance of actually finding it is 10/(30-Xlvl).[1] This is a 1/3 chance at experience level 1, increasing to 100% at level 21. Searching for a container trap will never set it off, even if you fail to find it.
When a trap is found, you are given the option of disarming it. If you accept, the chance of successfully disarming it is based on your Dexterity and experience level (both doubled if you are a Rogue) and the current dungeon level. If you are confused or fumbling, you will fail automatically.
If you succeed, “You disarm it!”; otherwise, the trap is set off as normal. In either case the container is no longer trapped.
