Grabbing the bars, Tina yanked on the grate, the mortor cracked but the
grate wouldn't budge. Tina felt a slight rush to her head, but she felt
stronger, the exercise clearing her head a bit. Feeling more sure of
herself, she planted both feet against the adjacent wall, straddling the
grate and giving it a hard pull. The mortar gave way, and the grate pulled
free with a muffled crack and then a loud clang as something metal fell
inside the large drain shaft.

[GM: Strength Test with threshold of 7. Tina rolled a 6. Consciousness
Test with threshold of 2. Tina rolled a 5 (woof!). Another Strength Test 
with threshold of 6. Tina rolled a 8 (with authority!). It's loose.
Consciousness Test with threshold of 2. Tina rolled a 5. Your feeling
fine, a bit of a head rush on that second pull, but your feeling
stronger.]
