Musashi scoffs at Scarlett’s clean armor, glancing at his own ichor-stained plate. "The joys of being the vanguard" he mutters.
Descending as Etrus sets the box down, Musashi's boots hit the stone with a heavy thud. He crosses his arms, watching the scholars work. "The how is simple...mind over matter" he says, nodding toward the archers. "The what is all that matters now. If the beast hid it that high, it’s either a fortune or a curse."
He steps back to give the specialists room, hand resting near his maul. "Doc, you’ve got the hands for this. Etrus, try not to trigger that needle..."
This post has potentially manipulated dice roll results.
Musashi stares at the ball of dirt, his brow furrowed in genuine confusion. He’s seen gems, cursed scrolls, and ancient gold, but a prized ball of dirt is a first.
"A Beholder's hoard...and it's a bunch of dirt" Musashi mutters, his voice echoing Gail's skepticism. He doesn't move closer yet, keeping his hand on his maul as he eyes the prize from a safe distance. "Maybe it's not just dirt. Dwarven runes on the box, and stone-hard earth inside? That sounds like something from deep underground, even for a Beholder."
He glances at the archers to see if they look disappointed or terrified. "If that's a seed for something, I'd rather it stay in the box until we know if it grows teeth."
Insight check: 14 on the 'friendly' archers - are they hiding a laugh, or do they know exactly what this dirt ball is?
"Fine. Dirt it is." Musashi grunts, shifting his grip on his maul. "But if that thing starts twitching or humming in Dwarvish, I’m smashing the box, the dirt, and the pedestal it sat on."
While Etrus begins his slow, rhythmic chanting, the tension in the room starts to settle into a weary exhaustion. Musashi remains the steadfast sentry, standing over the party as the magical detection settles in.
"Ten minutes is a long time to stand over a box of mud" Musashi grunts, though he doesn't move from his post. He stays alert, his eyes scanning the shadows of the cavern for any lingering threats drawn by the smell of beholder gore.
He looks at his companions...bloodied, battered, but alive. "Doc, Scarlett...get some rest while he hums. If that dirt is magical, we'll know soon enough. If it's just dirt, we've got a very expensive box to carry."
The Archers perk up after hearing that question, "They had some sort of telekinetic power that they would use to open it"

That gets Gail's attention, "Did you ever see what was in that box?"
"No, we never even thought to try"

Etrus holds up his hand. “Psychokinesis is … not … unknown to me.
Invisibly, a mental Mage Hand picks up the box and moves it forty feet away, and opens it.

Nothing explodes or anything of the type, instead, inside the box lies a small cube of dirt

Looking from afar, Gail is surprised by that, "Huh? Dirt? Why would a beholder keep dirt?"
But oddly, the dirt is perfectly circular, and it seems to be hard and rough

Etrus casts Detect Magic ritually, over ten minutes.
While Etrus begins his slow, rhythmic chanting, the tension in the room starts to settle into a weary exhaustion. Musashi remains the steadfast sentry, standing over the party as the magical detection settles in.

Scarlett looks at Musashi "Look on the bright side. It hasn't exploded or attacked us" she pauses "well, not yet at least."
