"Hold on, Eunuch" Maldorn yells and follows that up with a few words under his breath: "I am one with the woods..." As he does so, the living chest begins to exhume a faint, slow-moving, and red-colored type of smoke that can only be seen through Maldorn's own eyes.
Noticing he is the closest to their benefactor, the ranger then approaches Ebokk from the safest angle he can and tries to pry the dwarf from this strange creature's grasp (athletics: 14).
OOC: I take it that this is my action, right? In case Ebokk is already free like @rkmobius mentioned below, then please take the action in the spoiler below instead.
If Ebokk is already free, then Maldorn would not approach the magical chest. He would instead shoot an arrow at it after casting his spell.
-> longbow vs. Living Treasure Chest: Attack: 20 Damage: 7
Maldorn grabs the bindings of Ebokk's breastplate and pulls, but his hold is awkward, and the chest's stickiness is great, so Ebokk remains affixed. (Yes, that is your action.)
The ledge/bridge is 10 feet wide. Ebokk takes up one square right next to the chest and Maldorn is right behind him. The other side is available for melee attacks if wanted.

Annoyed at her errant blast, Jambiya screws up her face and brandishes her witchy stick, saying some words that come out as a scream. Lighting arcs from her stick to the chest...
Action: cast Witch Bolt at the sticky chest. 24 to hit, for 17 lightning damage
If it hits, the electrical arc remains live between her and the chest, and so long as she maintains concentration, she will do 1d12 dmg to it every round for a minute.

I imagine this diminutive green girl, holding out her little branch, with a violent arc of lightning reaching from it to the chest, throwing the entire cavern into crazy, dancing, shadows, and lifting the little hairs on everyone's skin, while she screws her eyes tight and grits her sharp teeth, focusing intently on ending. this. weird. island. adventure.
But that's just me. :)

Jambiya screws up her face and brandishes her witchy stick, saying some words that come out as a scream. A mighty bolt of lighting arcs through the air in a great bow, staying above everyone's heads and falling upon the top of the chest.

Ebokk feels a little tingle reach him through his contact with the sticky chest, but nothing dangerous.
(Doesn't [chest, Ebokk (grappled), Erric, Anafrey, Maldorn] go after Jambiya?)
OOC: It does feel a bit too soon to be Maldorn's turn again. That said, if it is indeed his turn to act for reasons we do not yet understand, then he'll simply take a step back and to the side and let an arrow rip. If this is indeed happening, can we please use the unused roll in the spoiler box in my previous post.
Hehe. Not sure what I was looking at. I guess I was getting the two females mixed up.
The chest once again tries to bite Ebokk. (bite attack: 24, damage: 11 piercing damage + 5 acid damage) Ebokk falls unconscious, and his shield drops from his hand. (death save: 20)
Ebokk jerks back to consciousness, yells, and tries to break free. (athletics DC13: 6) The dwarf's foot slips on his shield, and he is unable to break free.
Erric steps forward so he's within 30 feet of the chest. He's worried about hitting the already-nearly-dead Ebokk, so he tries another spell. "Hey! Chest! What did the fish say when it swam into a wall? .... Dam!" He casts Tasha’s Hideous Laughter on the chest. DC 13 Wis save...

realizing she only has a few arrowseft and they they arnt very effective, Anafrey would quickly scale up the small rock wall and race towards the chest. As she make her way towards the target, she would pull the heavy flail from her belt and swing it towards the creature as her hair whips behind her.
Now I understand why you were asking. Everyone is up on the ledge/bridge. You and Erric had brought up all the treasure and the group was looking at it when Ebokk got too close to the demon chest and was attacked.
Anafrey moves forward, brandishing her new, strange flail. Unfamiliar with the weight and design, the free end lands on the chest, not appearing to do any damage ... but now it's stuck to the outside of the chest.
Maldorn, unaware of Anafrey's new predicament, takes a step back and fires an arrow at the chest. The arrow sinks into the chest, which hisses in response.

Jambiya gives a somewhat disconcerting laugh as nature’s unbridled power flows through her, the lightning arc continuing to connect the small goblin girl with the chest.
Action: Witch Bolt continues for 4 lightning damage, spell last this round and 8 more rounds (concentration)

I was assuming it dropped him when it tried to flee after failing its saving throw on dissonant whispers

Round 3: Jambiya, chest, Ebokk (grappled), Erric, Anafrey, Maldorn (hunter's mark)

Erric is just amazed, mouth agape, at Jambiya's amazing hit.

WIS save: 16
The chest doesn't find Erric funny.
Anafrey, you're up!
(OOC: Would I be able to make it to the chest from my current location in one round and still attack?)
You bet!
realizing she only has a few arrowseft and they they arnt very effective, Anafrey would quickly scale up the small rock wall and race towards the chest. As she make her way towards the target, she would pull the heavy flail from her belt and swing it towards the creature as her hair whips behind her.
flail Attack: 21 Damage: 16
ooc: I rolled it like it is just a normal flail
Now I understand why you were asking. Everyone is up on the ledge/bridge. You and Erric had brought up all the treasure and the group was looking at it when Ebokk got too close to the demon chest and was attacked.
Anafrey moves forward, brandishing her new, strange flail. Unfamiliar with the weight and design, the free end lands on the chest, not appearing to do any damage ... but now it's stuck to the outside of the chest.
Maldorn, unaware of Anafrey's new predicament, takes a step back and fires an arrow at the chest. The arrow sinks into the chest, which hisses in response.
Round 4: Jambiya, chest, Ebokk (grappled), Erric, Anafrey, Maldorn (hunter's mark)
Jambiya, you're up!
“I... I think that worked,” says Maldorn regarding his shot arrow.
This hiss came from the creature's "mouth" kind of like a cat. Not like you created a slow leak in a balloon.
OOC: Right. I figure it was a hiss of pain, maybe?
Jambiya gives a somewhat disconcerting laugh as nature’s unbridled power flows through her, the lightning arc continuing to connect the small goblin girl with the chest.
