That was a 19 last night... 10 gold

 

 Dang. 

I believe you, the dice roller does the same thing to me sometimes. As the two of you pick the box up and carry it off the tracks, Ember notices a hand reach through a small hole in it and slip into Jedri’s pocket and remove his coin pouch (or whatever he Carries his money in)

Ember drops the box immediately.  HARD.

Having not noticed their coin pouch being lifted, only Ember seeming to throw the box to the ground, Jedri starts to yell at the kobold, "Hey, what's the big ide—" before catching themselves and amending, "Ahem, I mean, excuse me, has some difficulty arisen?"

You hear a muffled “Ow” from inside the box. 

"The box stole your pouch. This place is nothing but thieves."

"Let's open the box!"

If anyone wishes to try to open it they can attempt a Sleight of Hand check with thieves tools. 

He looks a the group and says "You know I'm no good with these things. Remember when I tried to open that box near Farmer Browns old place and it exploded on us. No way. Now, who's going to open it?" He grins and settles back to watch. 

Jared sighed and shook his head. He had been focused on keeping their charge from getting stolen as chaos erupted all over them. "I cant open anything with all thumbs." He then started talking louder. "But I can slice it in half and we can see who is inside."

(Go ahead, it’s wooden.)

(He wasn't going to do it T.T He was trying to scare the person in the box to see if it opens from the inside) "Ahem."

Oh)

i thought you were talking about the box you’re supposed to deliver)

You hear a muffled Oh Crap from inside…

[Jedri doesn't have thieve's tools, but does have a crowbar and proficiency with thinker's tools, so if it comes to forcing the box open would probably go for any visible hinges or joints rather than the lock. However, picking up on Jared's approach:]

Noticing that their pouch is indeed missing, Jedri addresses both the voice from inside the box and the person who was "struggling" with it. "Apologies," (with no hint of actual apology in their tone,) "but I will require the repatriation of my property." They tilt their head as if listening to a faint sound. "Alternatively, we could simply ensure you remain here on the tracks; I believe I hear the locomotive approaching..."

The hand pops out and drops Jedri’s coin pouch. 

Eris says "Wow. Look at that. The box grew a hand. I wonder what else we can get if I threw in a bunch of stinging bugs."

The voice inside the box speaks up. “Um…Could you not?”

"Get Out"

The side hinges open and a small, dirty halfling boy scurries out and squawks “Please don’t hurt me?” 

The woman is nowhere to be seen. 

(Anything rose you all want to do or shall I move along? I know it’s been kinda slow and I feel like I should get on with it.)

(Yes, please lets move along)
