Garth fails three more times to lasso the chest, though he almost had it on the last one. 

"Do you want to give this a try Twig?" Garth said, offering the rope to her after pulling it in from his last attempt.

Twig shrugs. “Hopefully my luck proves better”

She attempts to lasso the trunk.

several attempts. 

Just as Twig was about to give up, the rope fell around all four corners of the lid and dropped to the floor, surrounding the chest. 

Twigs eyes alight with excitement and she begins to pull on the rope, asking for help from Rad and Garth if needed. 

Rad helps Twig pull the chest back to the doorway. It makes it back fairly easily with both people pulling.

Twig opens the chest.

Twig finds a metal box containing 100 gold coins and a skull with a symbol on its forehead.

"Waning Gibbous" Rad grunts from over her shoulder. 

Disappointed, Twig hands the skull to Rad and the box of coins to Garth.

“That’s the last skull, I think.”She stands up, and goes to the next door on the same side of the hallway. 

Twig opens the second door on the right and enters another bedroom about fifteen by twenty feet in size. This one has a large four-post bed with a canopy curtain set with crimson blankets and gold colored pillows. There is also a large wooden dresser which appears to be made of cherry wood. Sitting on the dresser is a fine set of silver grooming items.

Twig goes to the dresser to inspect the items. After that, she opens the dresser drawers and goes through the contents.

Twig sees a find silver hand mirror, silver scissors, and a silver comb on the top of the dresser. 

She finds dusty, moth-eaten clothes in the drawers of the dresser. 

Perception: 7

"Hey Twig, I've been thinking. Maybe we should check out that closet that made me go blind. Seems like a similar enchantment to the bedroom that made us itty bitty. Perhaps if one of us went in the closet to open and lift things, another one of us could be outside the closet directing the person in the closet if the go blind. Make sense?" Garth said with furrowed brows, clearly having thought hard about this.

Twig agrees, but on the stipulation of not going blind.

Twig and Garth go do that and find nothing. 

“Darn. I was really hoping we would find something in here. Back to the search?” Twig heads back to the room they were in a few minutes before,  and collects the scissors, comb, and hand mirror.

“I don’t have any interest in these clothes, but perhaps you will find something of value in the drawers?” She says to Garth. 

Garth investigates the rest of the furniture, even lifting the matress and pulling the sheets off.

Garth finds old sheets and a mattress and old clothes. When he was on the bed, however, he started hearing whispers. When he finally concentrates, he hears distinct voices.

"Oooh, that's neat. What's that? That looks interesting."

"Here COMES the boom. HERE comes the boom. Here comes the BOOM."

"Kill! Stab! Burn! Cut! Stab!"

"I bet I could hit the big one with this bicycle..."

Perception: 22

Garth turned to Twig and told her what he heard. "Can you help me figure out where those voices are coming from? I sure hope they're real. I'd hate to turn out like my sister, covering herself in honey while we were running from a bear because the voices told her to. She was so young..." He trailed off as he began trying to find the source of the whispering.

“Voices? What voices?” Twig asks curiously. She goes over to Garth, putting her head near his, ears swiveling to try and locate the sound.
