Khessa looks carefully at the big rock. It might start rolling in the tunnel, against the party?
(OOC: @DM: the question was for you... Khessa is trying to asses if it can be a trap. If an investigation roll is needed: 4).
Unless she is pretty sure that the buolder CAN NOT roll against the party, she fetches for good measure a piton from her backpack and inserts it between the big rock and the floor, to disallow it to roll back (where 'back' here means 'towards the party').
She also asks Boss Pojo: "The passage has always been blocked this way? Or this rock is new to you?"
If in doubt, she fetches a piton from her backpack and inserts it between the floor and the big rock, to disallow it to roll back (where 'back' here means 'towards the party').
Ev’alish continues onward with the group, nodding to the boulder. “Mayhaps this rock doth be a ‘door’ placed by the ogres. Madam Khessa, thou and I may be able to shift it aside.”
In case no threath is detected, Khessa joins Ev'alish and tries to push the boulder: "Maybe, my friend, let's try" (strength check: 20).
Khessa tries to push slowly, she stops as soon as it is possibile to see what there is after the rock and she steps back (no hurry to enter) to look around (Perception: 17).
She looks even more carefully, if Boss Pojo says the rock was not there before!
"This might be the treasure chest of Non-Boss Hark" reflects Khessa. "While the grass pallet could be his 'bed'. Is this so, Boss Pojo? If yes, we should be able to surprise him... he should not expect us to come from his own room."
Khessa takes the chest back to the narrow passage (to avoid getting disturbed from an eventual returning non-boss goblin) and tries to open it. If the chest is locked, given that the lock is rusty, she fetches her crowbar from her backpack and tries to force the chest to open, hoping to meet not too much resistance (strength check: 23).
Ev'alish nods slowly as he gazes over the treasure. "This doth appear to be... some of Hark's stores, at least." He sounds a bit... dissapointed. As he moves the coin aside, his eyes spark as he sees the salt/pepper shakers. Their silvery gleam seems to speak to him. "If thy all may, we shall split the coin, and divide the rest amongst ourselves. Mayhaps I shalt keep the silver shakers?"
Khessa assess the treasure and does some computation: "Hmm... about 93 gold, 3 silver and 7 coppers worth total (without the potion). Dividing equally, each one should get 15 gold, 5 silver and 6 copper (plus one copper for the most lucky one). So, well, Ev'alish, keeping the silver things all for yourself would give you more than that... but it is still pretty fine by me. You'll get less of other treasures. If you really like them, you can keep them, as far as I am concerned."
She asks Kan: "Did you find out what the potion is?"
If he did not, she says: "No problem, I'll Identify it, just keep watch for a while" and she starts the ritual.
Kan puts a hand on Eva. “Keep them. Make it up to us later. You are not the kind to be in debt for long, I can tell.”
Khessa agrees with Kan: "Indeed!" And with that she hands the silver to the dragonborn "Keep. It's not an issue, as I just said. We have also previous treasure to share and to take the potions into account. When we are back at home..." she only now realizes he has come to consider Nightstone as her new home... but that's not necessarily the same for the others! "...Back at Nightstone, I mean, we will have the time to share properly. Until then, someone has to keep those in safety... and who would dare to try stealing silver from a silver dragon?" she winks "Keep it".
(OOC: Replying to nschrock: I think DM is keeping track of loot for us; if not, we will still be able to consult previous posts. But I'd advise to do the sharing after the goblins matter is settled. Here in the cave we would have little use for gold and could not be able to sell valuables.)
Kan moves up with his little legged barrel, readying for battle.

Ok, perception then: 3.

In the meantime, what does Boss Pojo say? Did he know of the big rock or it is a surprise for him?
Ev’alish continues onward with the group, nodding to the boulder. “Mayhaps this rock doth be a ‘door’ placed by the ogres. Madam Khessa, thou and I may be able to shift it aside.”
”…hm? A trap?” Perception: 17

Ev'alish steps forward beside Khessa, pushing on the boulder as well. Strength Check: 18

Kan sees the potion and perks up. “I am surprised! Goblins finding a potion, and -not- drinking it immediately!”
Kan attempts to test a sip to find out what it is.

Noting Khessa’s reply, Ev’alish sets the shakers back. ”Silvery treasures always doth be nice, but I shalt not take more than my share. Forgive me.”
Kan puts a hand on Eva. “Keep them. Make it up to us later. You are not the kind to be in debt for long, I can tell.”
someone keeping track of the gear?

Ev'alish blinks slowly. Then smiles. "I shalt keep them safe. Thank you."
