Yes," he lied.  He didn't know whether he could or not.  Garrett didn't know whether he could move or not.  He felt burdened and over-exerted.  No point in not trying, he figured.  He pushed off of the turret and half-crawled towards the entry, almost falling unto it.  Everything was so heavy.<br/><br/>"Yes," he said with more confidence, exasperated by the insignificant effort.   "I can open this.  Easy.  Like your mother."<br/><br/>OOC:  Garrett attempts to open the door, but doesn't check for traps.  Garrett rolls a 19 plus +17 skill bonus +12 cha bonus -6 burdened.  So, um, 42.<br/><br/>
