Excited that she can see herself, but disappointed that she is blue, Twig tries to unlock the door.

The key fits and turns smoothly. The door swings open easily, light as a feather. 

You find yourselves in Astabar’s study. There are several tables covered in vials and bottles of various component and materials. A large bookshelf holds several dozen volumes of magic lore. On the table in the middle of the room, there is a multicolored wand shaped to resemble a unicorn’s horn. It is sitting in what looks like a magic circle drawn on the tabletop. You also notice a black oak chest to the right of the door.

Twig stops. “the study of a wizard. I doubt he would leave it with no traps or spells.”

Investigation: 24

Twig is absolutely positive, after thoroughly looking over everything from her vantage point by the door, that there are no traps in the room. 

“I don’t see anything....What about you?” The blue cat asks Garth.

Garth examines the room from the doorway.

Investigation: 3

He tells Twig what he sees.

Garth detects no hint of a trap, either. 

Twig shrugs, and takes a very tentative step into the room. 

Nothing happens when Twig enters. A floorboard may have slightly creaked, but that's about it. 

Twig eyes the magic wand, but seeing it is in a magic circle, decides to leave it alone. She turns and opens the chest. 

Seeing that Twig does not burst into flames, Garth walks into the room and looks around the room for anything interesting, beyond the creepy chest and wand.

The chest is locked and doesn't budge. Everything in the room was interesting to Garth. Books, bottles, wand, chest, all sorts of magical things. 

Twig decides to come back to the chest in a minute and instead examines the tables with all the bottles and vials

"We have that black wand... maybe it can open the black chest?" Garth said with a questioning voice to Twig.

Twig Arcana check: 21 

Twig recognizes the components to be those of wizard spells and alchemy. 

“We can try” Twig says, pulling out the wand and touching it to the chest. Tapping a couple times for good measure. “A mage might be a useful companion to us. Maybe we can find one after this”

Rad pipes up, "Uh, I know magic, you know." 

With that, he takes the wand from Twig and activates the stored magic. 

Three glowing darts of energy appear and launch at the chest, splintering the lock and the wood around it. 

"Huh. You were right, it does open the chest." Rad says thoughtfully. 

“Neat!” Twig grinned. “Great thinking, Garth, good wand waving, Rad.”

Twig opens the chest. 

Inside the chest, Twig finds an additional
200 gold coins, two potions of healing (2d4+2), a
potion of lesser restoration, a potion of dark vision
and some shiny bracers.

"You probably don't want any of those boring yellow coins, right?" Garth asks Twig, seeming to have forgotten Rad was in the room with them.

"If don't mind, I also think we should both carry potions."
