The scroll case is brass with ornate bands in the center with 3 red gems imbedded on one end.

If detect magic is used the gems give off an aura of evocation.

If identify is used, it will be identified as a Fortified Scroll Case of protection. The case has Armor Class 14, 120HP, and is resistant to fire. 

Dispel magic has no effect.

Case is a puzzle lock/trap. There are 3 chances to solve the puzzle. DC 20 (intelligence or arcana) succeeds. If you spend 24 hours (broken up over time, for example 1 hour a day over 24 days or 8 hours over 3 days) studying the case (only doing light work/resting) you get a +6 to solving roll.   For each failed attempt, one of the gems begins to glow, if all 3 glow, the case explodes causing 2d8 damage to anyone within 5 ft. It also destroys the case and its contents. All bands must be moved in succession to be considered an attempt.

The scroll case can be reused once the puzzle has been solved, but only by the person who solved the puzzle. If another person, friend or foe try's to open it (with or without permission) the puzzle realigns and must be solved again (or the same consequences as above). The original solution will no longer work.
