[sblock=For Leif/Trevor]
Trevor is overcome with a vision of himself wielding the golden skull, the slots in its head filled with glittering gemstones. He sees himself employing the power of the elements...fire, water, earth, air...to slay his foes and gain power. Evil things do his bidding, as the vision shows the soldier's rise to become ruler over a great empire...
...but somehow, Trevor manages to shake off the vision through sheer stubborness and force of will. The vision leaves him shaken, but otherwise he seems to have suffered no ill effects.

Trevor slams the lid of the box shut and takes a deep breath, his face gone pale.

"Nay, Verdis, Old Boy," says Trevor after forcefully closing the box and reaching out to lean on his friend. "Pardon me, friend Verdis, but that...that...that thing seems to have shaken me somewhat...... to the core, you might say. What I saw was a vision of me wielding the golden skull, the slots in its head filled with glittering gemstones. I saw myself employing the power of the elements...fire, water, earth, air...to slay my foes and gain power. Evil things, nasty evil things did my bidding and followed my commands as soon as the words left my lips. The vision that I had was of me increasing in power to become the Lord of a Grand Empire! Thank goodness I was able to resist its lure and close the damned thing!"

Ragnok, who until now has resisted the temptation to leave his post, enters the room in time to hear Trevor's explanation. Looking quickly at the chest, he turns pale, and agrees fervently with Verdis' caution.
Then he says, "Ah, I'd best go back and keep watch!" before turning hurriedly and leaving the room.

"Since I have bested the will of the cursed skull, I am willing to be the bearer of it, to protect the rest of you from the dangers of temptation. Or, Kurt, do you suppose that it might continue to assault my will in its effort to find a breach in my defenses?"

Kurt's eyes narrow in thought. He scratches his goatee as he ponders the issue. With some short questions answered by Trevor, Kurt nods his head in seemingly come to a conclusion.
"The layers of lead you describe would likely be a shield to the thing's powers," he surmises. "Else you'd have assaulted before opening the box and remain under attack as of this moment otherwise."
"I would most certainly leave that box locked. But we must take it with us - it can't be left in the wrong hands."
