This box has an interior space considerably larger than its outside dimensions, which are 1 ft by 8 in by 8 in. The box can hold up to 500 pounds, not exceeding a volume of 64 cubic feet. The box weighs 25 pounds, regardless of its contents. Retrieving an item from the box requires an action, and unlocking the box after the first unlocking requires 60 seconds - 5 times the player's Intelligence Modifier (Example: a player with a 14 INT would take 50 seconds to unlock the box). The first unlocking of the box must be done by completing a puzzle provided by the Dungeon Master (suggested: Hanayama's Cylinder Puzzle).
The lock of the box is removable, and can go anywhere as long as it is on the same plane of existence as the box. If the lock goes further than 5 ft of the person that removed it, it flies back to the box, ignoring creatures, structures and objects that stand in its way. If the lock is solved it also flies back to the box.
This box is essentially indestructible. Breathing creatures inside of the box can survive up to a number of minutes equal to 10 divided by the number of creatures (minimum 1 minute), after which time they begin to suffocate. Items and creatures that are too large to fit in the box's opening magically shrink down allowing them to be placed in the box, and return to their original size once removed.
Placing Balram's Dwarven Puzzle Box inside of an extradimensional space created by a bag of holding, handy haversack, portable hole, or similar item instantly destroys both items and opens a gate to the Astral Plane. The gate originates where the one item was placed inside the other. Any creature within 10 feet of the gate is sucked through it to a random location on the Astral Plane. The gate then closes. The gate is one-way only and can't be reopened.
