You see no traps. This time, the chest doesn't unlock to your picking and prodding.

Baroth looks around the room. The light from his wrist lighting the way. He looks around to see if he can find anyone with someone's name on it.

"An eye patch, that's a little strange. Mind if I take a look at it?" Ryn takes the eye patch from the chest and examines it, thinking back if he's heard or read about any similar items that may have been magical.

Greymond mostly looks for any books or scrolls, anything with any sort of information on it. Wonder where this monster is.

Ryn:You've heard tell of a couple of magical eye-patches but none match the one you find in the chest. Examining it, there is nothing to suggest it is magical.
Greymond: You don't find any books, scrolls, or anything of the like.
Baroth: There doesn't seem to be any names on the possessions in the chests you've opened or in the rooms.

Wil tried again with the lock pick.
OOC:
Is there a way for me to take a "passive" lock picking check, basically, to keep attempting until it opens?Jan 26, 2018 4:38 am
OOC:
Well, to keep things less boring, I would say that one skill check represents you trying over and over again. One skill check does not equal one lock pick attempt. Your failure represents your inability to pry this particular lock as you've already tried to the best of your ability. In other words, no trying again with locks. Get creative. There are multiple ways to skin a cat.

Baroth seeing that Wil is having a hard time with that chest he walks over and sees him jabing his sword into it. Do you need some help there Wil? You look like you are having a tough time with that one. Is this the lock that can't be picked by the great Wil Kingsburrow? Baroth chuckles a little and get ready to bust open the lock if he asks for some assistance.

Attack with shortsword

The shortsword fails to effect the structural integrity of the chest.
OOC:
For objects, they have a hardness which means that they can't be harmed if the damage total is less than a certain value. If it surpasses the value, it takes damage as normal. For example, Baroth slashed the rusty lock on the children's door which had a hardness of 5 and 5 hit points and, when he slashed it, he dealt 7 damage which surpassed the hardness and broke the lock.Jan 26, 2018 6:27 pm
Baroth continues to watch Wil struggle with the chest and its lock. He crosses his arms and puts his right hand up to his chin like he is thinking. An ammused look spreads accross his face.

Wil glares back at the paladin, and yells,YOU try opening it, then!
He steps back, flustered and mad, and drops the sword at the feet of the paladin.

Roleplaying frustrated prideful characters can be fun. I envision that Wil will attempt some daring things to save face if battles come up *lol*.Jan 26, 2018 9:04 pm
Ryn pulls out his mace. "This should make it a little easier to open. It’s not like I really use it for anything else." Ryn holds the mace out for anyone to try.

Gentlemen, gentlemen, some finesse please. he says rushing forward his hands in the air before reaching into his satchel and pulling out a vial of familiar green liquid. Before pouring it onto the lock.

Baroth steps back and lets the little dwarf open the chest his way. He motions a hand forward and dips his head a little. Go ahead Greymond be my guest. Then sits back to watch the little guy perform his magic.

Greymind sticks his tongue out as if concentrating greatly before up ending the vial into the opening for the key of the lock. Hopefully this will take care of those pesky tumblers.

The tumblers dissolve, leaving the chest easy to open. However, opening the chest, you realize that some of the contents have been damaged, a distinct hole burning through several sets of clothes and what looks like a bag made with a strange leather-like material. There was 10gp, 4sp, and 30cp in the bag that is now half corroded and spilling all inside the chest.

Shit, shit shit shit shit. Greymond, lifts the lid before attempting to do his best to kick the chest over away from the rest of the acid as quickly as possible. Not at all what I had in mind
OOC:
I had imagined a padlock style lock. Sorry everyone. haha.load next
