Junius attempts to rest, hoping the others will figure out the watch schedule and wake him near the end.

"Boy, I wish I knew how to use Watt's tools right about now!" says Tippin, taking the key. "Oh well. Not to worry!"
He unlocks the chest.

"Boy, I wish I knew how to use Watt's tools right about now!" says
Tippin, eagerly taking possession of the key
Mila discovered.
"Oh well, not to worry!" the halfling continues, moving to the chest.
The halfling examines the small wooden chest, and the lock, and the key. The chest itself is old, and the iron bands supporting it are worn and rusted. The lid of the chest, and its sides, are visibly scuffed and scratched as if ruggedly handled. There are some darker red splotches on the outside of the front panel, near the lock.
As for the lock, it and the key appear to be matches, and this pairing is confirmed when
Tippin slides the small, iron key into the slot without effort. Once the key reaches the full depth, the halfling turns it slowly to the right... until he hears a click.
While it does not open, the slightly angled lid jolts ever so slightly as if its locking mechanism has been relased.
AdaRue continues her thorough search of the chamber's walls for secret exits; listening and feeling for any signs of drafts or hidden locking mechanisms. Her efforts have been unrewarded after now covering 20-feet from the only known exit.
Meanwhile,
Junius lays down to rest, counting on the others to figure out the watch schedule and wake him near the end as needed.

Having offered to take first watch, AdaRue continues her thorough search of the chamber's walls for secret exits. She listens and feels for any signs of drafts or hidden locking mechanisms.

Mila
Will stay up long enough to transcribe OmDog's spellbook and her's together, then begin trading with the other magic users for the same, figuring that while they are here and working together they might as well have copies of each other's spells in both their own and what will be for all intents and purposes a spare book for now.
While doing so she will eat her 1 unpreserved ration. Deducted from sheet
She will stay up until the transcribing is complete and then stow away the book in her pack. She will then go to sleep and take the second watch.

Thought I'd posted. No time today. Short version: Tippin turns the chest toward the wall, stands as far from the chest as he can, and opens the lid from the side with the crowbar.

Aided by the glow from a fire beetle gland,
AdaRue continues her thorough search of the chamber's walls for secret exits; listening and feeling for any signs of drafts or hidden locking mechanisms. Her progress is slow, and without success to this point.
Junius, still ailing from his wounds and worn down from an eventful day of adventuring, quickly falls asleep.
Mila finds a "comfortable" spot and begins readying herself to transcribe the contents of
Omdog's spell book into her own. Carefully turning open the cover, she quickly realizes that the magical writing of their fallen companion is far different than her own, and she will be unable to complete her intended actions without the assistance of her own '
Read Magic' spell to decipher the magical text.
Nearby,
Tippin forumlates a plan to open the chest. The halfling first moves to turn the chest, and needs to call for some assistance as the chest, despite being relatively small, is quite heavy -- he guesses it's at least 100-pounds. Once the chest is positioned to his liking, he slips the claw end of his crowbar beneath the lid and, moving behind the chest itself, slowly lifts the crowbar drawing the lid open.
The lid opens.

Tippin flips the lid all the way open and waits a full two minutes before edging forward to peer into it.

AdaRue makes it a little further along the wall and still has not found anything.
Aided by the glow from a fire beetle gland,
AdaRue continues her thorough search of the chamber's walls for secret exits; listening and feeling for any signs of drafts or hidden locking mechanisms. Her progress is slow, and without success to this point.
The lid open,
Tippin opens it fully and waits. And waits. Once two uneventful minutes have passed, the halfling peers inside and sees that the chest is filled with glimmering coins! Mostly silver, but coins of gold and copper are also mixed in.
On top of the coin pile appears to be a torn piece of cloth.

"Woo hoo!" cheers Tippin. "We're rich! We're rich! We're comfortably well off!"
"That cloth is kind of weird, though."

Junius quietly snoozes away, dreaming of striking it rich while wearing really weird clothing.

AdaRue continues to search the cavern walls, but still has not found anything.
Junius sleeps.
"Woo hoo!" cheers
Tippin after peering inside the now open chest.
"We're rich! We're rich! We're comfortably well off!"
"That cloth is kind of weird, though." he adds after spying what appears to be a torn piece of cloth resting atop the pile of coinage.
He, and everyone else not already dedicated to other tasks, just stare at the chest.
A light rap is heard at the door, and you assume one of the fire beetles outside happened to bump up against it -- a reminder of the violation that is taking place just outside your safe area.
I need actual actions to progress the game. I know what AdaRue and Junius are doing, but what about everyone else?

AdaRue freezes, reminded of the danger outside the room. She tries to estimate the length of time she'll need to finish her search. But I don't want to die just yet, Tippin. Anyone awake can help me search the room for other ways out. Please?.

Hearing the rap at the door, she rushes to the other side of the table and grunts pushing it with all she's got towards the passage where the door is, hoping others will help her when they see her intent.

Tippin looks skeptically at the bit of cloth. "That gold isn't going anywhere. I'm going to get a good night's rest before I mess with that any more!"
~~~~~~~~~~~
Keebler helps move the table. "This reinforcement may not add much over the protection already afforded by the bar across the door, but it does no harm, either," he observes.
