Here, let me see it ...  He fiddles with it for a few moments as he casts something.


[Private to GM:  13:26, Today: Sparky rolled 6 using 3d6.  Locksmith. A great roll, but he has neither lock picks or the skill to use them ... obviously needed purchases when points are granted. He made his roll by 7 ]

"If that don't work, I c'n give a try.  I got some 'sperience w' locks."

In reply to Aldous Hack (msg # 763):

"Or I can try a magic trick..."

She will do so if given the box...

[Private to GM: If given the box, she casts lockmaster, rolled 1 under]

Both siblings eagerly look on, as the others try to open the box...

In reply to Nana Yurick (msg # 765):

Collectively, and you are not sure if it was Sparky's knife or Adolus rattling the box, or the leprechaun burning more mana, but the box springs open, scattering a mix of copper and silver coin.

Very Nice, and the box may be worth something too.

The siblings smile, nodding at each other.

"Nice!  Yep, box like that's worth a few coin even empty.  More if ya got th' key, a'course, but it's prolly long gone."

Nana begins scooping the scattered coins up, counting them, as she desposits back into the box, while Sven looks on. "......" *mouthing numerations*

Could probably get a key made, but the cost may not be worth it.

"Gotta have a key, er ya wind up having to break the box 'f it gits locked."

In reply to Aldous Hack (msg # 772):

The box being used and rusty would only go for a silver at best. Within are $89 in copper coins, and $360 in the form of 18 silver

"There's a good bit here! Just under $450. C'mon big money! Aldous needs a new pair of shoes!"

*guffaws*

Aldous snickers as well.  "Yep, I do.  Maybe next trip I'll get some heavier boots."

In reply to Aldous Hack (msg # 776):

"So we take this up and share it all out then, with the stuff from the other room?"

Yup, they hired us, we didn't get finders keepers rights.

Nana folds her arms.
"Nah!, we're keepin' allllllllllllllllll!"
*cackles*

"Of course, we'll share it out. The more we find, the bigger each share'll be!
If we happen to find any items of value, we'll share those out too, according to their value, to either be kept, or liquidated."
Sven reasoned, always the foil to Nana's antics.

"Yeah! Relax, I was only foolin.'"
Nana laughed.

In reply to Nana Yurick (msg # 781):

"Then perhaps they can earn their bit by looking after it for us. That way, we don't loose it if we have to run somewhere! Can they use my share to buy some magical scrolls, I wonder?"

"Scrolls?  Like old style books?  They can put magic in a book?"

In reply to Aldous Hack (msg # 783):

"Yes, yes oh yes they can. It is a wonderful thing, too! And then I can learn it and do new things!"

"You know, our folks are mages, and could teach you spells, at a discounted price!"

Sven nods affirmatively.
"Ma's magic is scarier, but I don't like how Pa can get in me head!"
