"Hmph!" Viconia goes over and turns the lock once in the left hand direction. Nothing happens. She then turns it in the right-hand (i.e. opposite) direction. Nothing also happens. "Is that enough for you, Kivan? Did my actions assuage your cowardice to an acceptable degree?"
Kivan... be kind with the ladies... she's clearly overconfident on her ability to resist magic to survive whatever this dungeon throws at her... I don't know how it will save her when arrows come from the walls or the roof comes down on her head... But I'd like to see her resist that....
Okay, fine! Imoen snatches the gold key out of Viconia's hands. "Stand back." When everyone seems at a fairly safe distance, she inserts the key into the hole and twists it three times to the left.
OOC lol... I figure poor Immy is largely expendable at this point. If this is the door to the lich's tomb, there will be no more traps to find, and I'm doubtful normal missles will do much but irritate Acerak.
Imoen inserts the gold key and tries to turn it. BANG! There is a loud explosion as the key and she is expelled forcefully into a wall for 14 points damage.

Kivan be a good boy and change the keys for the lady to turn...

Viconia laughs at Kivan. "I'm sure your protests will make you feel better about your cowardice," she tells him sweetly.
Kivan's expression:
