(w) any other action.

If you have several figures, they don't all have to go into combat mode.
Whatever is the closest sort of option. If there's a GM, it's up to them.

For reading, I'd say that's close to Cast A Spell or Disbelieve.

Blowing a horn would I think be near-impossible while moving much. I'd say like firing a missile weapon, requiring not being engaged (one last toot possible if engaged that turn) and limiting movement to 1 hex.

Picking a lock takes longer than most combats and trying to continue doing so during combat would require the figure to stay facing the lock and not do much other than that. Maybe they could stop for a turn to Disbelieve or cast a spell that doesn't require hand movements. If they get attacked in melee or wounded, I think they'd be interrupted.
