Cold Truths (part 1: The Missing Duke)

OOC: sorry, i missed these first time.../ooc

Poking through the pile of straw, Woden and Aleran are able to locate a hanfull of silVer coins and a small metal box or case about six inches square and about the same high. On the front is a key lock. The case is locked.

Uri puts his back to the wall and watched the party search. He winces quietly at the pain as he attempts to bandage his wounds. To anyone listening, he'll continue with his story:
"If I remember whe I was young, hunting parties going out to defend the camps against these creatures. The men returned telling stories. These man-apes keep smaller ones that they bullied and used as slaves, called gabble or goblins. And also the terrible wolf-like things that they would ride into battle as mounts. Strange stories indeed."

(OOC- Heal check +1 to do ANYTHING to myself, or aid Tyler. A little help here, people?)

Binding your wounds is painfull and breaks the weak scabs loose, caussing them to ooze again but, once done, you at least feel a little better knowing that they'll heal properly, given time.

Woden will cast cure light wounds on Uri. He lifts the coins and doesn't touch the box. "Anyone want to open that one? Silver coin... man stuff. not good."

"Thank you, Wooden.", says Uri, "And you're right, that one fellow in the stables can't be the only body here. We may have to search more before the sun sets."

"Don't forget," Aleran states as he taps the box with the end of his staff, "the reason we were sent here in the first place. We have to find the book."

The feeling of warmth passing through your body is pleasant, especially in the cold. The feeling of the muscles weaving themselves back together, however, is just a bit weird.
You feel better when woden is done, less tired and not as light-headed as you did just moments ago.

Swipe hears "silver" and "locked box" and perks up. "Please, allow me... I'll be with you momentarily, Tyler."

He pulls his picks out of his pack and blows on them for luck. (Open Lock +5)

 

[mps42]

Swipe takes the metal box and holds it gingerly. Pulling out a small leather pouch, he unties the clasp revealing several small metal tools, he goes to work.
After a few brief, but tense moments, there is a soft but sharp *click*.

I can't believe it, you think to yourself. I nearly missed the needle trap in the lock. I must be more tired than I thought. Either that or the cold is getting to me.
Surruptitiously, you open the lid just a crack and can just make out a small leather pouch and a glint of something else beneath.

Tyler looks on and shrugs. "There may still be people who need us. Lets get moving." He says to the rest.
