This is not going well. That is to say, unfortunately, you rolled a critical failure.

While Shuichi is able to scramble his way into the Keep just fine, and he is able to locate a magic item to pilfer just fine, he unfortunately discovers too late that the item isn't stored out in the open for the taking, it's heavily booby trapped. This is one of Rainer's, er. Less conventional methods of gathering case studies for her necromancy.

There's no clear indication of how he tripped the trap, and it happens instantaneously and without pain — Shuichi is more or less incinerated where he stands. Later on, a skeleton sweeps him up and brings him to Rainer's private study, but thankfully, she is too busy to be reanimating anybody before the loop resets.

On Shuichi's end, it feels as if no time had passed at all. In one instant, he is taken out, and in the next, he is standing, disoriented, right where he was at 12 p.m., in a brand new loop.
