Ben Zeldem says, "I think I can pick that lock. Just wait while I get my lock picking tool."
Ben grabs an orc double axe from one of the dead orcs. "Ah the perfect lock picking tool!" Ben teases giving Robard a sly glance. Ben gets the orc double axe high over his shoulders, then his muscles tense as he swings the axe down on the metal box with all his might. Sparks fly as the axe hits the chest with a clang. The chest breaks open.
The first chest contains a pile of coins, about 100 gold pieces and 400 silver pieces when they are counted.
