That's basically what I did; I used the function above as an easy(?) 
way of numbering the traps, and then  rolled for a cube a dozen times 
in the hopes that one of them would be free.

If I had a little bit more time, I'd write a new Dice Roller to make 
that easier. It would take a normal message filled with little tags 
like {[int:1-10,12,15]} and {[choice:Fire,Water, Earth, Bomb, Yoyo]} 
and would process each one accordingly, so that the firs would be 
replaced with a random integer from the set of all integers between 1 
and 10 inclusive, plus 12 and 15, and the second would choose a random 
Gnome type. That sort of thing.

Barring that, I'd just like a Dice Roller that can handle comment lines 
with more than 80 characters and can roll more than one type of die in 
the same message.
