[TristenC]

Renwick kicks a nearby crate. maybe they're hiding here or below in the Crates and things

[Dargon Lonewolf]

Broggdar

Has anyone looked to see what is in all these crates? Seems like a lot of crated good for a bunch of Drow stockpiling.

[counterkid]

Adrik start to open crates. "Someone help me out here."

[BishGada]

"Let's not waste too much time." Flatbelly says.

[TristenC]

Betcha those cowards are hidin' out in the caves if they're not up here... Renwick offers

Wait... didn't we kill some of those pansy bow-twangy little rogues? Mebe we did get em all... he shrugs. Wonder if they were protectin' anythin up here... or in the area below. Renwick begins searching the crates for any good loot

[Dargon Lonewolf]

Brod uses his Axe to wedge open some chests and pop the lids.

[Squirrellord]

Tornak will help GG secure the area from possible hidden threats before allowing himself to join in the crate and barrel cracking.

[Chris1234]

GG continues his room-to-room search moving as quickly as he may.

======
I find it easier to just press on (but quickly as may be) rather than try to reimagine the recent events. (I'm fine with it if GM wants to skip forward a round with somehig like "Both the remaining rooms to the east are opened and found to be devoid of life or anything notable..")

[BishGada]

Flatbelly tries to be helpful but is a bit too anxious to move on to be very effective with the search.

[Nocturno]

GG cycles through the rooms finding pristinely cleaned rooms, with all the mundane things one would expect. Except there are no foodstuffs in the kitchen. And the toilet has no smell of being used.

The sacks are found to be dried out ancient grain.

The spools beside the sacks are long dried out rope, so dried that it would be of no use.

The barrels contain housewares in molasses. Dishes, cups, serving plates, and the like all suspended in the brown goopy liquid. From the first couple barrels you can tell they were well sealed, as they have not dried.

The big crates along the wall contain large swaths of cloth. Clearly rats and other vermin have gotten in, but there are spaces of a few yards at a time where the cloth is usable.

The smaller crates contain items of war and security. One seems to be sealed shut better than the rest. As most will burst open with little effort. These all contain normal looking weapons and replacement pieces of armour, as none of them seem to be a full set on their own. The weapons look to be a style from about 50 years ago. But all in good shape as they have been stored in these crates inside the maintained warehouse.

All of the containers have the same Logo on them.

[Squirrellord]

Tornak will move to investigate the smaller crate that is well sealed shut

[Nocturno]

Investigation(Int) please.

[Squirrellord]

Investigation(10): [1d20+10]=17+10=27

[Dargon Lonewolf]

Broggdar will look through tje crates of weapons and see if he can find a couple of hand axes for throwing.

[Nocturno]

He can find up to 8 hand axes.

Upon investigation you notice that the top looks like it will slide up, and the sides of a box will come with it, and leave the crate sides behind.
Essential it seems like a faux crate exterior, with another interior box.

If you lift it out, you are left with an empty open crate, and a metal box, with a crate finished top.
==================================
Because you rolled 27...
==================================
You also see a lock on each side of the box near the top.
They look like fairly well maintained and crafted locks. But not the most complex you have ever seen.
