I shall do my best at destroying the books.

I think there's a toasty bonfire upstairs?

I'll try to suck the poison out before it does any more damage.

Then look glumly at the pick.

Make another heal check, you can use the result instead of the fort save, you see.

That's more like it!

Your healing prowess is unmatched! You don't take any nasty poison damage, just the single point from being jabbed.

Crikey!

Do I reckon I can unwedge my pick without breaking it? Those tools are fucking expensive to replace.

Yeah, you can give it a wriggle and take it back out, but the lock's broken as far as you can tell.

Arse. I'll drag out that sword I've been humping about and try to use it to crowbar the thing open. What do I need to roll for that?

Roll d20 + Gordon Freeman.

d20 + Strength mod if you just want to pop it open.
Attack and a few damage rolls if you want to smash it to bits.

Straight D20 then. If it needs smashing Bart can do it.

Woo!

Christ, nice roll!

The chest springs open and the lid cracks against the wall. It appears to be a lock-box of valuables, you can see the mechanism that was used to jab you more clearly now, and an empty vial labelled "Greenblood Oil" attached to it.

Inside is:

An ornate silver chalice studded with white gems,
About 40 gold pieces, and 100 silver pieces,
4 small moonstones,
and two ceremonial short-swords, with leather grips and carefully etched blades.

Oooooh. Shortswords huh? Could be useful, by ceremonial do you mean not of any use in a fight? I'll do a quick appraisal:

Chalice-

5,+2
Total:7

Moonstones-
Roll(1d20)+2:
5,+2
Total:7

Swords-
Roll(1d20)+2:
6,+2
Total:8

Pfft.

Yuck, now I have to use maths™.

You don't reckon that the swords are strong enough to be used for actual fighting, they're display pieces really.
You can only really make rough guesses as to the value of these items.

You think the chalice is worth about 140gp
You guess the moonstones are worth about 20gp
You think the swords are about 7gp each

As a note, unless you get 12+ on an appraise roll your appraisal comes in between -50% and +50%.

I wasn't expecting much accuracy with those rolls. To make it easier for you I'll be sure to pass them in future.

If Bart's still burning books I'll stash what I can, ditch the orc sword and tie the shortswords up in a bundle so I can carry them.

Now what?

Go check out the cobweb room. If my peeking through the door revealed nothing, I'll venture inside.

COBWEBS!

The room is almost rounded off with them, all the corners are curved through sticky white webs, in the centre you can just about make out the shape of a well. Behind the well is a limestone statue of a young man with its arm extended over the it, there's a bit of loose rope hanging from his hand, from which presumably a bucket used to hang.

If you move into the centre of the room you can see the well is funnelled with webs as far down as you can peer.
