Ericina smiles at the now shiny lock but glares at it soon after. "Someone break this shiny thing! The chest is hiding something!" Now more angered she will then begin to slash at the look with her scimitar. "Die lock!!!"

Scimitar: Attack: 19 Damage: 5

Ericina, you bring down your scimitar on the chest to hack it open. After giving it one solid whack, you break the latch holding the chest closed. Inside... (2) is a folded black cloth, inside are three sizable moss agate.

Ercina flips the chest open in anticipation, her eyes alight with wonder at what could possibly be inside.

(If I could I would be playing the chest opening music from Legend of Zelda.

(Four chests remain)

Aka picks up the orb-thing from a monsters eye thing. What is this? Aka wants to know what it is. (would this be Arcana or Investigation? Subtract 2 if Arcana. 10)

She looks to the rest of them as she steps away and moves to the next chest she can see. "Do the rest of you want to pen a chest or should I open them with a thwack with my trusty blade of unlocking?"

Aka, you pick up the orb and examine it. You can't tell what kind of creature it belonged to, but whatever it was, it had one big eye. It doesn't seem to be worth anything.

Aka pockets it then moves to the Mummy. Is this what's making the sound? (investigation all around! 9)

Bala, his heart pounding, will try to sneak by the zombies by going down the southern hall(or, whatever hall is now currently empty)

Stealth: 24

(Three halls are now empty. The north hall leads back to the pitfall trap, the east hall leads to the room with the large table and chewed up bones, and the south hall leads to an unexplored area of the dungeon.)

Aka, the chanting doesn't seem to emanate from the mummy, but rather from beyond the portcullis at the end of the southern-most hall. 

Bala will go down the south hall.

Roux, trying to just see what's inside, will pull out a torch and try and break the lock off with it. 

Attack: 10

Damage 1

Adira paces nervously next to the well while her companions rummage through the bedrooms.

Ericina will move to another of the chest in one of the other rooms, attempting to smash through another lock with her scimitar.

Scimitar: Attack: 17 Damage: 8

Roux and Ericina, you both spend a few minutes smashing open locks. Roux, your chest contains (2)... a black leather eyepatch with a carnelian sewn into it. Ericina your chest contains (1)... a pouch made from some sort of soft, untanned hide. It weighs about 7 pounds and inside you hear the jingle jangle of coins; when you get the chance you will find that it contains 11 gold pieces and 60 silver pieces.

Bala, you make your way down the southern hall. As you approach the turn you notice another undead figure blocking the hallway ahead. You manage to duck behind the corner before it notices you.

Aka readies to stab with his daggers as he follows the Chanting. What is that sound? (as if my investigation wasn't that bad already:22)

Ericina seems less enthused by the coins then what she found in her first chest, shrugging and carefully putting the coins in her pack. "Could be useful to make shiny jewelry."

Roux will slip the eyepatch in his bag curious about it and tucking it away for later. and move on to the room next to it and repeat smashing the lock off. 

Realizing that their situation was a matter of survival whilst in Barovia, Krolbrik decides to walk over to one of the two chests and bangs the pommel of his longsword into a rusty lock with a meaty "clong" sound and see what can be found in the last, unclaimed chest with one of his strong, orange arms.

Krolbrik swings his sword against a rusty lock: 5

Damage against the lock: 4
