Ackam strains mightily against the chest, but the fine craftsmanship makes it impossible to get a good enough angle to bring his fulll strength to bear. Mikkael takes a ring off of his finger and says Here, try this as he tosses it to Ackam who examines the ring and sees that it looks like a small key was shaped into a ring. Tap it against the chest and say “Knock Knock” That’s my sister’s idea of humor, she commissioned the ring for me several years ago.
"Full o' secrets are yeh, Mikkael?" Earthhand peers at the cleric with one eye, waiting for Ackam to use the ring and to determine the effects of hisdetect magic ritual.
"Doesee no one have anythin' ter weigh in wit' aboot moy musin's?" Earthhand says. "Summat strange is afoot connectin' teh droo aen teh vampires."On that thought, he will think ponderously if there's anything he might have heard in his druidic studies or travels regarding why moon elves and vampires might be working together.. Moon elves...vampires...Thorok thinks.

I wouldn’t say “full” of secrets, Earthhand, but I have a few tricks up my sleeve. Mikkael laughs and pats Earthhand on the shoulder. Earthhand, you do detect magic from inside the chest. There is at least one enchanted item in there. You think about the Drow Vampire connection “Droo and Vampires, Droo and Vampires. They both like nighttime?” A frown settles on Mikkael’s face. Whatever is causing them to work together cannot be good. And the visions tied in as well? There may be dark days ahead, my friends. He regains his smile But surely it’s nothing we can’t handle together.
Earthhandsmiles warmly, fixing Mikkael with one eye and Aedrawith the other. "Teh nigh'time bit is pretty much teh only connection Oi'cd put tegether."He says. "Feck this," he snatches the ring from Ackamand approaches the chest. "Knock Knock!"He says authoritatively.

BASTION has been a bit preoccupied with its own musings, and finally comes to...
"Who is there?"
Making a final examination of the Living Suits to see if there is anything salvageable or that could be integrated into its own armor set, BASTION rejoins the party.
The lid of the chest opens slowly, creaking as it does. For a moment you stand in awe at the stacks of coins in the chest. A magnificently wrought bow, what appears to be a gauntlet... your perusal of the chests contents is interupted when you hear the sound of a mechanism in need of oil followed by a click and look to see a small button that had been held down by the lid has popped up after a small delay due to its age. You hear a SHUNK KA-SHICK from above. Everybody roll acrobatics or a dexterity save!
Im in the booth at work and I just laughed out loud into the mic imagining that that’s the sound Earthhand makes whenever he has to do something dexterous. Which he almost always makes the save.
BASTION takes a moment to investigate the suit of armor and see if it's magics are familiar or register within the databanks...

lol geez louise
Bastion doesn’t detect anything specific about the armor, it’s possible that it emulates Bastion’s design or perhaps vis versa.
Aedra leans in closer to Ackam and whispers in his ear, Do it...
Ackam nods at Aedra and jabs his crowbar into the chest and using all his Hairfoot strength tries to wedge open the chest.

Together. Aedra says smiling as she joins hands with both Thorok and Mikkael. Hoping for one of those heartfelt cheesy cinematic moments.
