[QUOTE="ToddSchumacher, post: 440427, member: 2139"] Startled, The drow looks at the chest, then the party. A realization marks his face. A broad smile that turns unto laughter, that turns into coughing. He then leans against the wall for support. His injury more grave tha you may have thought. [color=lightgrey] "Fools be you all. Fools and pauns." [/color] [color=lightgrey] "That I cannot do, for I do not have the key. The man who hired you does, though I doubt very much if he'd show it to you. I'd be very careful if I were you, you deal with dangerous people, and I do not mean me. You think you work for the 'good guys', The man who hired you, and I do not mean that merchant fool, Is as foul or worse than any of my masters. I give you this chest, I'm as good as dead, I give this chest to you, you are as good as dead. By either my masters or by the man you work for. What is in this chest? An item of incredible power! Which evil would you give it to? I will tell you this, I know my masters intend to destroy it. Something your employer would not dare to."[/color] Another hacking fit sends him to his knees. [color=lightgrey] "Seems fate has decided for us."[/color] The drow falls the rest of the way to the floor. If someone checks, he is dead. As killian walks behind the drow (as he was talking) he enters another chamber, many candles illuminating it. There are many chests and piles of bags in one corner, there are more orc and goblin bodies all lying on the floor, all charred, none moving. The main point of interest, though, illuminated by many candles, is the far wall, there is a large circle carved on it, along with icons and writing. You only get a glimps of the room, though, being focused on the talking Drow, you notice the circle carving only because you think its inlaid with silver. The chest, assuming someone looks at it, is all Iron. It has a single lock (Krug determines it is a very, very good lock...a real challenge). There are many dings and gouges where it looks like people have tried, and failed, to open the chest. The only other adornment is a carving with the Marlstead crest on the lid, just above the lock. Actions? [/QUOTE]
