Dialogue

Ugh, stupid lock. Open! Up!

You look like you could use some help.

Who, me? Well...yes. I dug up this locked chest. Was told it was cursed and if I opened it the wrong way, "foul consequences will arise before the victim." Drivel, right? Will you back me up?

What do you want me to do?

Nothing too complicated. Plan is, I'm going to open this thing up. If something pops up, you give it a good thrashing! What do you say?

Sounds reasonable. Ready when you are.

(if thief)

You know, I'm something of an expert at picking locks...

You're kidding! Ha! Well, better to be lucky than good, eh? You want to try picking this lock, that'd be outstanding. Way less chance of somebody getting hurt. Like me, for example.

Don't worry. I know my way around locks.

Wait, I need a moment.

I'll leave you to it.

I'll leave you alone.

Examining the chest as a thief

Old Treasure Chest: chest is secured by what appears to be a simple but very heavy lock.

I should examine this more closely.

The lock clearly has an old protective enchantment placed on it. It periodically flickers. It's about to flicker again soon...

Hm. I'll have to lift one pin each time the enchantment flickers... (starts a short mini-game with a Special Action Key skill)

I'm going to back away for now.

Notes

• Thieves can instead skip the fight by picking the lock on the chest. The special action skill will appear three times. You need to press it quickly each time it appears.
