A chest is an item of the containter type. When we look at the .dbr file of a container we find no way a container could harm the player except with a skill. The .dbr has a heading 'skill', containing the variables * skillName (dbr file of type skill) * skillDelay (floating point numeral) What will happen? Well, obviously, when the player opens the container, the skill will be invoked after the specified delay.
