Nolla understands that one of these chests needs to open with fire somehow. Which of the two is still uncertain.

"Going by those notes..."  Nolla says, nodding to the notes the one person read from the desk.  'I'd suggest we use some sort of fire spell on the chest there."  She points to the one that says 'ash'.  She steps back though, not wishing to be near it when the attempt is made.  "I only have a cold spell, so no fire spells..."

 "Hmm, I do not have a fire spell, nor do I have anything on me to start a fire"

"If we don't have anything else, we can always use a torch..."  Nolla says.  "Since this is a wizard's place though, and those are arcane runes, I would imagine it takes a magic spell though..."  She starts to pull a torch from her pack.

"Sorry no spells here either"

''Arcane isn't my forte, unfortunately.''

Jalin silently darts inside the tent. "Sh, you talk loud enough for everyone outside to hear you. I have several fire spells, what do you want me to do with them?" His gruff demeanor has since dropped away, replaced by a professional soldier's attitude.

Edit ( I hit something on my keyboard -enter- or something, and it sent my post half finished. I went back and fixed it.)

"Use a fire spell on that chest." She nods to the one that said 'ash'.

Jalin walks carefully to the chest, his hands forming odd motions, his mouth mumbles strange words. He shoves his hand forward, fingers pointing to the magical chest, a small bolt of fire shoots from his hand, and lands on the dead center of the chest.

Edit: my page hadn’t reloaded whenever I sent this messages hadn’t seen it was already done. Was realllly far behind lol

(A little late for that. lol.)

As the chest starts to burn the runes glow..

The fire surprisingly starts to glow lower and lower around the runes and then you hear a clicking sound, like it's unlocking.

(ooc can everyone roll me a strength check if they want to try to open the chest <3)

20 Strength to open the chest.

(Nobody. Say. Anything.)

Nolla takes out her crowbar as the chest seems to be stuck at her first tug...

Strength check:  12

never mind then... Nolla puts her crowbar away...

Raw Str, or athletics? 
9 if athletics, add a +2 to that 

The chest opens and a rather large glowing blue orb sits at the bottom. It has a blue fog swirling inside and it seems to be made of glass.

"Not even the gods could make me touch that thing." Jalin backs off slowly.

Alexis looks into the chest observing the blue orb.  He thinks back to his arcane training to see if he remembers anything about it.

Arcana 8

Nolla shrugs and casts mage hand picking up the orb.  She deposits it into a pouch and then glances to the others.  "Ready to go?"
