"Sure," Aria nodded, "The ship seems pretty deserted, it'll be easy to hear each other, and there's always phasing through walls to escape a fight you don't care to handle solo."<br/><br/>She took a moment to kick away some of the now-rapidly-melting slush, and inspect the chests critically for any spiteful mechanisms.<br/><br/>Of the eight, another three turned out not to be  locked at all: two others contained assorted frozen-while-fresh foodstuffs, and the third, when she opened it, was stuffed solid with ice cream, something she'd only seen a handful of times in her life (despite being from a city near the edge of a glacier). Her stomach growled just a touch, despite the fact that adrenaline was generally an appetite suppressant for her, but the thought of eating anything that'd been inside that icy ooze quickly absolved her of appetite again.<br/><br/>Unfolding the leather sleeve-pouch in which a small forest of metal tools were arranged in individual holding-slits, Aria set to work on the easiest-looking of the four locks. With a narrow tool in each hand and her tongue pinched in the corner of her lips, she tinkered through the keyhole. Finally she giggled as it popped open, and whispered, "Now that's pirate treasure." The contents did not disappoint; gems representing the entire spectrum, seated like a little coven of chromatic dragons upon a bed of gold and platinum pieces.<br/><br/>The last three chests she worked upon in turn, and sooner or later, each one gave way. To her satisfaction, she got the sense that the value awaiting with each chest was,logically enough, roughly ordered with the investment the pirates had made in the difficulty of each lock.<br/><br/>Rose, meanwhile, would find the long port hallway to host a series of crews' quarters like the starboard hall. Like they'd found on the previous row of rooms, the scallywags apparently kept the things of value on their persons even during a pillaging foray, perhaps not trusting their own mates not to swipe anything left in their shared rooms.<br/><br/>Along the foreship side of the rectangular hallway, opposite the mindflayers' and oozes' rooms, was a single door leading into a largish triangular room, its shape dictated by that of the ship's prow. This was a storage room like the one they'd first phased down into, but rather than food and personal supplies, it held supplies for the ship: spare timber, rigging, and other ship-parts for repairs while at sea, and the tools to make them with. This room also held a great pulley system and stretch of anchor-chain, the mechanical apparatus which lowered or raised the currently-lowered anchor.<br/><br/>That room also seemed to contain a recessed, pit-within-a-room subroom with a cage across it: the brig, as it were, a second room below the first, which could be easily seen in its entirety by looking down through the trapdoor cage. Fortunately, the depressing room was totally empty and deserted, including of prisoners, save for a few old and partial skeletons; one of several skulls bore tiefling-horns.<br/><br/>The half-stretch of the starboard hall which they'd not before exploded proved very much like the half they had; yet more crew-quarters leading back to the food-storage-room door they'd first phased through.<br/><br/><br/><br/>Oops. Fortunately, the rest of the full attack almost certainly would've finished it - the last one did 29, and it had 15 HP left for this one, or rather 11 with the bracers. (Although that already-rolled 3rd mh attack would be a miss w/o the +4 for her flanking.) And indeed, Rose's next attack surely would've (her min damage exceeds that even before PA)<br/><br/>Aria's leveled up 16 and is in her sheet.<br/><br/>Aria takes 10 for 30 on a Search inspection of each chest (she's also been taking 10 on search for the room scouring), then Open Locks on the four locked ones, mod 28 roll Result: 12, 15, 8, 16. Successes. (Actually you can T10 and T20 with open locks generally, but I didn't think to 'til after rolling one for each.)<br/><br/>Locked chest contents:<br/>2,000 gp of gems, platinum, gold<br/>2,500 gp same<br/>3,000 gp same<br/>4,000 gp same
