He rolled a 12, so he noticed that there were iron hooks set into the wall on either side, high up near the roof, that could be used to hold the doors back when they were open. What he failed to think through (because he had only rolled a 12) was that the iron hooks were 9ft up and no-one who was human-sized would be able to reach them.But snappy had also noticed the hooks and they suggested something entirely different to his reptilian brain. Acting with blinding speed, he crunched his mighty jaws down on the philosophical bucket and removed its bottom, thus ensuring that its hypothesis was validated and there was indeed a hole in the bucket. Then he flipped it with his snout, high up to the left so that its handle caught on one of the iron door hooks and it hung there, rocking gently and making nonsensical remarks. "Watch this!" cried Snappy and he flipped his football up and into the bucket, to fall through and down to bounce on the ground again. "Goal!" he shouted. He had invented the game of bucketball, for which the DM awarded him Inspiration.With philosphical debate no longer a viable option, the heroes had no option but to try to open the bronze doors. "Do I need to make a Strength(Athletics) roll, wondered Herewulf? And can Nord use the Help action to give me Advantage? But the DM said there was no need, and the door would open easily despite its obvious great weight.The door opened to reveal an abandoned temple, complete with an altar in the middle, benches around each side and a gong in one corner. On the altar was a pair of brass candlesticks, each about 3ft high, but there were no candles in them. The altar, the benches, the gong and the candlesticks were all festooned with cobwebs, so you knew it was abandoned and also worried slightly about giant spiders.On the altar between the two candlesticks stood <s>the biggest diamond in the world</s> an oak casket which had a prominent lock. Od felt in his pouch for his Thieves' Tools, as he approached the casket warily. He knew this was going to be tricky, because the DM had asked him to say exactly what he was going to do. "First, I'm going to ..." he began, but that was as far as he got."Hey guysh," interrupted Xena bursting into the room, "You shimply musht come and shee what we've ffound!"</blockquote>
