The lock chest

This chest does seem pretty intresting to you, can always use more gear, and the worse it may hold could just be extoic spices for the cooks to use. Why not peak at what it holds? Although, how are you going to get it open? With a closer glance, this lock is pretty heavy duty looking, a couple of bashes from your new staff won't solve this problem.

Hmmm...

You are a mage, and you still have plenty of spell slots left. Maybe you could use one of your powerful spells to bust your way inside. Although, would be wise to consider which spell to use, wouldn't want to destroy it's content now, right?
