Gently petting Wilbur's snout, Skeekbad proclaims excitedly, "Wilbur and Skeekbad are best friends! What? Oh... yes! What's in the box, Skeekbad needs it."
"The dryads are here to help me protect Khammeral's key. They can be very deadly. We have been here as long as I can remember. But clearly, Khammeral sent you here to retrieve the key so you must have the answer to his riddle password." The unicorn positions himself next to the box."How many trees can you plant in an empty forest? You only have one chance to answer."

Wensa - Intelligence : 8
Wensa's face scrunches up tight in difficult thought. She begins to moan a bit which turns into a hum. Eventually she can be heard singing about pies to herself once more.
(Using my inspiration here 16)
As the others talk Wensa may chime in with helpful information.
(As in I know the answer but Wensa does not but perhaps I can have her offer a hint to the others if one of the others don't know)

Skeekbad -
"Hmm... Skeekbad not one for smart smart riddles. Wensa or Smor-Gizz-bord smart ones. Bones say Wensa chosen one. Maybe Wensa knows answer to this one?"
"Wensa not know forests. Wensa know Wensa stomach empty. Wensa get one pie Wensa not have empty stomach. Maybe Wensa know then. Gizzmo smarty smarty. Wensa think Gizzmo know."
This is one is going to need to be solved OOC. I'm not going to give you the answer on a roll. If incorrect, one person can burn an inspiration to guess again, but only one extra time.
The unicorn looks puzzled. "Khammeral did not give you the answer?" You hear a slight rustling from the dryads as Wilbur questions you.

Gizzmo
Investigation: 13
Inspiration: 23
((Does 16 make the DC? )) "The question hinges on the binary nature- forgive the pun Wilbur- of an empty forest." Gizzmo produces an empty flask from his bag. "I have an empty flask. How much liquid do I need to put in it before it is Not empty.?" He takes a dropper and puts a drop in it. "So now the flask is Not empty? And Wensa and Skeebad how many drops did I put in the flask?"
Understanding starts to creep its way onto Skeebad's face like a dawn that rises much much to slowly. She raises a finger in the air and takes a breath in to speak...
"That is the correct answer. After one tree is planted it is no longer empty."The unicorn pauses for a moment. "Are you sure Khammeral sent you here? Well, you did have the password. I will unlock the chest now." The dryads retreat into hiding, again becoming invisible against the forest all around. The unicorn taps the lock with the tip of his horn. The lock dissolves into a cloud of glitter dust. The unicorn gallops away down the path which it came. Inside the chest is a round silver medallion, the size of your head. It floats in the center of the chest and has a little movement up and down to it as it floats. As you examine the medallion, you see a unicorn head carved into it.
"Thanks, best friend!" Skeebad waves as the unicorn gallops away, tears streaming down her eyes at his magnificence. She takes the medallion in both hands and starts walking down the path back toward the shop.

Wensa
After the unicorn gallops off Wensa follows Skeekbad up to the chest. After the medallion has been taken out she clambers up and peers inside to see if there is any thing else in the chest. After taking any other contents, if there are any, Wensa tries to pick up the chest. If she can she will carry it back with them toward the painting. Part way down the trail she whispers to Skeekbad "Wensa still not understand Wilbur question. Skeekbad think Wilbur went to get pie?"
Gizzmo shakes his head a little. He's not quite sure how they managed to convince the guardians to give them the contents of the chest but he knew that they needed to get moving.
As he is going to say this and give another speech he realizes that they've already started back to the picture, leaving him standing alone temporarily. He hurries after them.
"Yes, yes of course. We must be going."

((posting concurrently here.. what I meant was to RP it out even if I didn't hit the DC. And I edited the earlier post))
Skeekbad
"A... A drop! Gizzmet put a drop in the flask!"
~♡~
(Ok I have the answer in ooc chat. At this point we are RPing)
Wensa
Counting to herself on her fingers for far to long Wensa finally looks back to Gizzmo “One. Gizzmo put in one drop.”
Gizzmo
Gizzmo smiles and nods to them both.
