" I think it is probably best that we leave the belongings of a man wrongfully slain. I won't be able to do anything today to help you open it anyhow. " He sighs. " Perhaps Amunator will bless you in another way. " Lumen begins to leave the scene, with or without them.
a23 drags the corpses inside the shop out of sight from preying eyes and locks the door. before giving his full attention to the chest, he searches the thugs
he sits down with the chest and preforms a series of analytical tests
a23 tinkers with the magical lock as Roc keeps guard. After the first pass, the box begins to become extremely hot to the touch. "Um....I wouldn't touch that if I were you!" the magic mouth continues to spout.
Despite the imminent danger, a23 continues to operate on the trunk:
Lumen exits the shop, walking back towards the tavern. Garton and Mylbor pass by, arm over one another - clearly drunk. "OH....hellow good priest. Gwa ha ha!"
Errona places her hand on the tavern entrance door, before looking up to see her ally approaching.
Errona looks to the group and says "Where have you... Nevermind. Lumen I need you and your ability to speak with people dead and things. I can explain at some point."
" I would love to aid you Errona, but I'm afraid I must rest first. I trust you had only the best reasons for what you did, but it seems this town has a way to twist even those." He moves into the tavern to buy a room and clean up.
Errona sees a23 and Roc enter the tavern and motions them over to the table. She pulls Roc to the side and says "Look at this beauty...." Showing inside her pack.
She then turns to a23 and says "I have a body we need to retrieve. Lumen here needs to sleep. Are you interested?"

”as unfortunate as his death may be, it appears he will no longer require aid from material possessions.”
he pats him down looking for a key

A23 finds a key which fits the lock on the door that has been knocked down.
The hefty chest's intricate locks would take multiple intelligence checks to open.

Roc places his palm on his forehead.
"I can't believe we're doing this."
Roc will sit down with A23.
"If you cannot get it quickly we must abandon it."

Miraculously, the box opens revealing:

Lumen exits the shop, walking back towards the tavern. Garton and Mylbor pass by, arm over one another - clearly drunk. "OH....hellow good priest. Gwa ha ha!"
Errona places her hand on the tavern entrance door, before looking up to see her ally approaching.
a23 looks to roc and imitates a satisfied expression.
“do you have any objections to stealing from a dead man? I prefer to think of it as resource reallocation.”
he hands roc the bracers and pockets the rest to distribute at a later r time
Errona looks to the group and says "Where have you... Nevermind. Lumen I need you and your ability to speak with people dead and things. I can explain at some point."

"Gwa ha ha!" Garton continues to laugh as the drunks walk past Triglio.
"Hold up." Mylbor stops for a moment, noticing something odd. "Hey...Jestin you alright in there, bud?" he asks, hand hovering over his weapon.
Roc blows out his mouth to where his cheeks expand.
”Welp... I’ll at least wait a day before wearing them.”
Roc will place the bracers in his backpack.
Roc will attempt to exit stealthily as well.
Stealth: 17
"JESTIN! You asleep already in there?" Mylbor continues to knock on the door.
Garton's eyes open wide. "By the gods.... I really have to go."
He unzips his trousers and relives himself in a nearby planter.
Mylbor shrugs.
a23 and Roc are able to successfully leave the store undetected, making their way back to the tavern where their allies wait.
Errona sees a23 and Roc enter the tavern and motions them over to the table. She pulls Roc to the side and says "Look at this beauty...." Showing inside her pack.
She then turns to a23 and says "I have a body we need to retrieve. Lumen here needs to sleep. Are you interested?"
a23 smiles at the sight of errona.
”i am always prepared to be of service.”
he turns to the barkeep.
“i will have a beverage for the road if you dont mind.”
Errona follows a23's lead and says "Make that 2..."
Roc whistles.
"Wow... How did you get that one."
Roc opens his bag to Errona.
"I picked up a little something myself."
Roc motions to his wounds.
"I took quite the beating and don't need sleep. But I do need about an hour of rest before continuing."
“we have quite recently experienced a skirmish.”
he turns to back to errona
”perhaps a short rest would be beneficial assuming time is not an immediate factor”
a23 scans the room to see if theyve acquired the attention of additional thugs or eavesdroppers

"Fine. Let us rest... I doubt she is getting any less dead." Errona finishes her round and tries to find a room for the night.
OOC: Unless a23 hear's something.
