“Oh no! Not that silly chest again! We’ll never get that thing open!” [NAME] starts complaining.
How unfortunate that you’re not carrying any lockpicks.
[NAME] tries to pick the lock. Unfortunately, without success.
This chest is empty.
That would be a lot easier if you had a party member with magic skills.
[NAME] casts a Foramen spell on the chest, but without any effect. It’s like nothing at all had happened!
[NAME] strains with every muscle available to try to open the chest. No luck though.
Who’s going to cast a Foramen on the chest?
“I’ve just about had it with this fershlugginer thing!” [NAME] shouts out loud and gives the chest a mighty kick. Of course, the only result is a slight injury.
Inside the chest, you find
How many do you want to take with you?
From a corner of the chest a biting gas is released that makes [NAME] eyes water- but the chest remains closed!
Despite the fact that [NAME] efforts to open the chest result in a slight straining injury, the chest remains stubbornly locked. The chest won’t open.
The chest remains closed.
[NAME] is stung by a poisoned needle!
The chest is secured by an Ignifaxius, which hits [NAME] and causes severe damage. Pity the chest is still closed!
“Wait…” mumbles [NAME]. “The lock looks like…” Saying this, [NAME] produces [NAME] using it to open the lock.
“I knew it!” [NAME] proudly announces.
This seems to be the war-chest of the Orcs. It contains several leather-bagsfull of money and jewelery.
Now, what you are going to do?
Force the chest open
Pick the lock
Cast Foramen
As [NAME] touches the chest, [NAME] notices a yellowish, viscous fluid.
[NAME] discovers that the copper-coin from the shrine obviously fits a depression in the chest-lid. Without hesitation, [NAME] puts the coin into place, turns the skeleton key inside the lock - and look, the chest is open.
[NAME] puts the skeleton key into the chest-lock and makes an attempt to turn it, though the key seems to fit the lock, the chest does not open… in spite you seem to have activated a trap, because [NAME] suddenly starts full of pain.
You do not manage to open the chest and you are not carrying a key, which fits the lock.
Further you find some coins, worth %d[N]pieces of silver.
There’s nothing else to grab here.
“I can’t get that thing open!” [NAME] says indagated.
“Something seems to be stuck or to keep the chest closed…”
“Voila, now it opens!” says [NAME].
“I don’t know what the problem was before. It opens easily now.”
