Sinister Secret of Saltmarsh

Darixa follows the others, cautiously watching where she goes.  She provides light as Esme works on opening the door.  Once it is opened, she peers inside.  

"A rope and a box," she observes. "That doesn't seem too bad. Yet." She tries to look for whether there was an obviously used path through the room. Or signs of the floor being bad. (Perception: 12) "I suppose we check out the box?"

The floor is in very bad shape but a path along the left side of the room past the fireplace is passable.  
In the back of the room is a coil of grey [Tooltip Not Found] 100’ and a metal box with a keyhole.

Darixa decides to go ahead and check out the box. She follows the path she sees on the left side of the room past the fireplace.  When she gets to the box, she examines it closely before touching it. (Investigation: 9)

Looks like a legit locked metal ‘safe’ box.

"Didn't we find a key?" Darixa asks. "Maybe if we're lucky it'll open this!" Just in case, she tries to see if it will open without the key. 

You try the lid it’s locked you try the footlocker key it’s the wrong key but as everyone is looking about you notice a key in the hall window and it does work.   In the box is a wicked looking dagger, a coin pouch with 30 sp, and a bone scroll tube sealed with red wax.

Darixa looks closely at the items. "Very interesting. I suppose it would be better to look at these more closely later?" She looks to see whether the scroll case could open without breaking the seal. if she can, she'll peek inside.  Otherwise, she will wait unless others wish to stop and investigate.
