Instead a glowing portal opens up in the wall above the chest. The portal appears to open out into the ring of thrones outside. As the portal dilates to its widest aperture, swarms of magically enraged ravens fly through and attack.
Yselm backs down the corridor, fending off some of the ravens with her shield but not using her spear.
On her turn Ameera turns the gold key back and takes it out. The portal immediately closes, stopping any more swarms of birds coming in. Ignoring the attacking birds Ameera grabs the large silver key and it slides in.
The birds that did make it through the portal attack relentlessly, as if compelled to do so.
This post has potentially manipulated dice roll results.
Ameera swings her greataxe through the thick swarm, cutting down several birds with each swing. They are packed together enough so they find it hard to get out of the way. There are only a few birds left, but they are compelled to attack.
A few more swings and the birds are decimated. Feathers and blood and small bodies litter the floor.
"Ameera Birdstrike" laughs Yselm from some distance away. Ameera didn't think Yselm actually had a sense of humour, so the rareness of it brought a smile.
The tall Reghed barbarian turned her attention back to the chest with the silver key in it. The gold key lies on the floor.
Yep. Ameera flips the lid open and staggers back as a number of giant hand axes fly into the air and swirl around her, hacking at her. There is something else in the chest but Ameera is too busy to look.
The key turns, but does not unlock the chest.

Turn the silver key and try to open the chest
The large silver key requires two hands to turn it, but it does turn and there is a click that sounds like it unlocks the chest.
OK...am I strong enough to open it?
