[LPF] Silent Tide

No changes to the vibrations other than an increase in the rate of clicking. The holes in the chest Robert's looking at are not quite large enough for the brush handle. They're a bit smaller than the tips of the Ranger's fingers.

"So this brush idea doesn't work... I am all in for just trying pouring water in it... Anyone has objections?" Robert asks.

"Oh," Charity chuckles, "I should have explained. Find the longest bristle or two, cut it off with a knife, and try that. It should be very narrow, yet stiff enough to let you know when it hits bottom. Well, up to how long it is, anyway." Turning back to her chest, the ginger lets out a long sigh, clearly searching for ideas.

Robert gives Charity a look. "Nah... too much work. Lets see if I find some Liquid that is not sewage water."

OOC: Mogwli can I find some sort of Liquid, Water or something that i can pour into the chest? It should be enough of it to fill up the chest.

 

[Maidhc O Casain]

OOC: Well, the Grandmaster is bathing - or being bathed, at least. The water in the tub didn't look or smell like sewage, and had to come from somewhere.

Charity, Human Female
Seizing upon a few experimental ideas, Charity tests if the devil-knob of chest 1 has any play in it, in terms of pushing in/pulling out, particularly after turning it just enough to get a click. She also puts a little time into clicking it clockwise and then counter-clockwise in succession, one click each, with a fair number of repetitions.

[sblock=Genre]To a certain extent, a 'Devil's' head makes me want to try a 6-6-6 click series, but is it even Genre-appropriate to suspect this might be worth trying?[/sblock]

Robert heads back to the room with the Grandmaster in it. "Hey Grandmaster Firestarter, I am in need of some pristine water. Can I get like a carafe or two filled? It is important and will help us to open a chest.... By the way we already opened two of them."

The Navigator looked at the chest, a bit frustrated. Smashing it open was perhaps unwise if something delicate were inside, but he was certain there was something more than meets the eye to this chest. He began an incantation, old words he had heard once, the meaning unknown to him before, but they came to him in this moment as he began swirling his hand around the chest, rhythmically to the words.

[sblock=Actions]Casting Detect Magic. Should this work, the Navigator stays focused on the chest for three rounds. Using Bardic Knowledge for a 10 Knowledge (Arcana) if it works, Knowledge (Arcana) (1d20+3=10), though I don’t believe that’s going to help.[/sblock]

As she turns and twists the devil's head, Charity finally spins it far enough and is listening closely enough that she hears a different, slightly louder click as she turns it clockwise.

The Grandmaster looks intrigued Robert's request. He thinks for a moment, then nods aquiescence to one of his bodyguards. The half-orc dips out a pitcher of water and hands it to the Ranger.

Gavin's investigations do indeed reveal an aura of magic about this chest, specifically of the Illusion school. As soon as he recognizes the aura, he is able to see through the simple spell . . . the box is actually quite ordinary underneath the spell, and is not even locked.

The Navigator snaps out of a deep focus. “Ahh, there’s a clever girl.” He flips the lid open to retrieve what’s inside, grinning at the thought of others seeing him reaching through the featureless stone and coming back with its contents.
