I'm not sure but I do know that the character has a magical key that's speaking to him and giving him another option. Perhaps the weight of the decision is heavy on him? I suggest your character ask him what's vexing him. @Windyridge , I think "Expertise using a crowbar" is a good aspect for Grimbly.
@KCC , it's not quite over, just waiting on @KaeJae. You're correct; there is one more guard (1). @Qralloq is probably hoping @KaeJae can do something because Xaka is low on strikes and low on karma
Update: You can look on the Battle Map to see everyone's current status. The party has found 2 of the items the Baron requested. Now there is only one more; the Urn.
