He swings up the lid, and WHAM ... a rusty, long bolt (about 4 inches) flies from a triggered trap and embeds deep within his inner arm. The pain is incredible, and he cannot help but let out a shocked, involuntary scream.The bolt sticks about two and a bit inches into the flesh.OOC: <a href="http://invisiblecastle.com/roller/view/1614520/" target="_blank">Clear hit, for 7hp damage</a> Jovik stumbles back stunned. (OOC: I need a DC 14 fortitude save please)OOC: Jovik, please post your rolls, and if you want to take any healing etc. I will proceed to describe what is inside the chest below, but the investigation of the chest naturally follows the commotion around Jovik.The party move gingerly back towards the sea chest. The trap inside appears to be connected to the lock, and any attempt to open the lock triggers the trap. A jerry-rigged crossbow is the delivery device, set to   send its shard of rusted metal when the lid is lifted. Clearly there must be some way of disabling the trap, perhaps with the correct key, or a correct sequence of turns first.Inside lies the accumulated wealth of the Thistletop tribe, culled from junkyards, shipwrecks, ambushed merchants, and unfortunate rival goblin tribes over the past decade or so.This collection consists of an unorganised pile of:Many thousand of copper pieces (5-10,000 you estimate, and pretty heavy)A couple thousand silver pieces (you guess about 2,000, but they are spread amongst the copper and it would take perhaps half an hour to sort and count)A bag with 89 gold pieces and 3 platinum piecesA leather pouch of rather poor quality malachitesA medium chain shirtA medium masterwork scimitara pair of masterwork manaclesa very fine gold holy symbol of Sarenrae worth, you guess, about 100gp. Quite a beautiful specimen really, and clearly once owned by quite a wealthy or powerful worshipper of the goddess.a jade necklace worth 50-70gpa fine blue silk gown with silver trim. Who knows what this is worth, but given the bloodied gash down the centre ... probably not much. At least it is clear how the owner died.That is all that there is in the room and the chest. Time to move on.</blockquote>
