Syntax: pry <weight> <object>	:pry the object while guessing its weight
Weight: weightless		:object weights nothing or next to nothing

  The second defining skill of thieves, the ability to pry allows a skilled
thief to literally steal a shirt from their victim's back.  In order to attempt
this risky procedure, the thief must approach its victim first.  Once in
near proximity of its victim, the thief may pry items off the person's body
by first judging the weight as to apply the proper amount of force and
finesse.

Thus, the <weight> is one's judgement of how heavy the item is, while <object>
is the item in question.  The thief then begins the careful maneuver of
attempting to remove the item and put it in their inventory where it belongs.
A guess not close enough to the true weight of the object will hamper the
chances to the point of failure, while giving considerable bonus for close
guesses.
