General Description

The Glyph (or Temporal Rift) Trap belongs in a special category. This type of trap seems to hold unknown powers over location. Perhaps it all ends up as an illusion, perhaps it actually takes one to the Temporal Rift. Those that actually come back after disappearing tell tales of temporal rift monsters, hours upon hours of entrapment and many other horrors.

This particular trap ends up as a rogue's worst friend. If you ever get sucked into the temporal rift, run as fast as you can in different patterns. You may find an exit, or you may not.

Physical Viewing

You carefully begin to examine a scratched monir coffer for traps...

You notice some spiderweb-like scratches on the lock plate which seem, after some bit of scrutiny, too organized to be just wear and tear -- it might be some type of glyph spell.

It looks like an easy trap (about -60).

You still have a good enough picture of the trap in your mind, that you could try to disarm it.

Roundtime: 14 sec.

Disarming The Glyph Trap

This possibly represents the hardest trap to disarm. Perhaps only the most skilled rogue disables these traps. Most folks that try to disarm these end up forever lost in a place known as The Temporal Rift. Good luck, my friend!

Triggering The Temporal Rift

Good luck, my friend. Enjoy your stay. If you can find the Temporal Rift Key, please bring it out in order to help other disarming experts. Perhaps no key really exists. Perhaps it only exists in my imagination. Perhaps I remember only what the rift wants me to recall.

Magical Viewing

This particular trap sends the caster to the Temporal Rift. It has a magical resistance and temper that most can not defeat.

Magical Disarm Success

This trap can not get magically disarmed.

Triggering The Glyph Trap...

You gesture at a scratched monir coffer.
Suddenly a dark splotch erupts from the lock mechanism and envelops you! Time seems to slow down and almost stop...

Suddenly you see yourself cast at a locked coffer about to try to look inside...something goes wrong but...

After a moment you feel a great sense of deja vu....

Suddenly you see yourself cast at a locked coffer about to try to look inside...something goes wrong but...

Your head begins to throb from all this. After a moment your vision clears and you see...

[Temporal Rift]
You are trapped in a time rift! You catch brief glimpses of events both past and future. Beyond these strange and confusing visions extends a vast, ever-changing field of stars, pinpoints of light against unfathomable utter blackness. It is very cold here.
Obvious paths: north, northeast, east, southeast, south, southwest, west, northwest, up, down
Cast Roundtime 3 Seconds.

Even after this trap is manually disarmed, it can not be popped. The runes inscribed in it are magical in nature and the magics are far greater than the magics known by anyone. Who knows such magics and who put the magics on 'em? Maybe rogues inscribe and make these boxes... maybe sorcerers...

Do the rift sharks actually exist? Perhaps. Some strange powers dispell magics and drain spirit while you're in the Temporal Rift. Something eats up all your spirit as long as you're there. If you stay to long, you will surely die.
