"I can, uhm, offer some small magical assistance if someone wants to, uh, try to open the, uh, the chest," Cellan says.

Spoiler

You manage to keep the two crustaceans — they look a lot like lobsters — from spotting you. There is no tunnel back here, just the two of them. Apparently, this pool is their home. [OOC: I'm going to assume that you surface and rejoin the group at this point and take a look at the chest (keep things moving).]

A quick inspection of the chest's opening mechanism reveals that it's not locked, but it is sealed shut somehow. You cannot open it.

"Do you think the chest is trapped?"

Zeegra

Zeegra stands nearby, watching the surroundings, while the others examine the chest.

 

[Starman]

"Strange," the druid mumbles kneeling down beside Manakar who is laying down and watching everything. This whole trip, while scary, has been exciting, he thinks smiling slightly.

"Uh, Zeegra, do you have a spell prepared to, uhm, look for magic?" Cellan asks. "I...don't right now."

 

[Scotley]

Cian Dark Elf Bard

Cian speaks up eager to be useful, "I can check the chest for magic, though I have no skill with locks."

 

[Starman]

Cellan nods. "Okay. I, uh, think that might be what, uhm, what is protecting the chest."

 

[Fenris]

Ghur climbs out of the water, "No tunnel down there so those goats must have been waiting for us somehow. Now as to the chest if Herev is going to open it I want to get far away, I didn't like the last time he opened it. But I only gave it a quick looksee last time. If we have some time, I'll take another crack at it. I can dry off at the same time" says Ghur.

OOC: [sblock] assuming everyone is OK with a delay, Ghur will take 20 on the chest.[/sblock]

 

[Strahd_Von_Zarovich]

Sure, go on
Herev says, he takes some distance and watch closely the line of blue trees
