Stab the back of the dirtbrush into the sand, so it stands.
Hit the first of the chests with your flamberge, in case it's a mimic.
Be ready to jump back and use ranged attacks.

Head home and make a Separation Sigil with 42 slots before splitting some manganese. Also keep a tier one Enfeeble on the entire time.

[ATHATH]

Deal with the chests now, because they may not be here when we return. When we get home, put the PA sigil on our half-staff.  Try splitting some of that sun-stuff. Identify the flameberge.

Those things are quite obviously mimics. Real Chests don't look like that and we're in the middle of a desert so there wouldn't be normal chests.

[RAM]

But only experienced explorer types would be out in the middle of the desert, and they would know that these are obviously mimics, so nobody would ever open them, which is why they are completely safe to store wondrous loot in. Them looking like mimics is a ruse to prevent people from opening them. The real question is how could so many mimics survive in the middle of a desert?
...
Unless everyone who comes out here theorises that they are actually real chests made to appear as mimics and opens them which results in a steady flow of sustenance to what is, in fact, a colony of mimics.
...
But we gave figured out that they are mimics so obviously they wouldn't have any sustenance so they are real treasure chests!

...

Obviously we are just like everyone else who ends up out here, so if we decide to leave them alone then they have never been fed or looted and are real chests stuffed with loot. If we decide that they are not mimics then everyone else came to the same conclusion and either fed the mimics or looted the chests. So we just have to do the opposite of what we decide to do...

If we arem in fact, trapped in the desert and surrounded be monsters, would it still, technically, be peacetime? and would we be able to discern that distinction?

[Armok]

Or we could just go with a strategy that works equaly well regardless of if the loot is gold or mimic corpses, and send a bunch of heavily armed minions at them.

Why not use our fancy fire powers and fire control to make a shiny new selective burning effect that can burn a panel of a chest sufficiently to lose its structure without burning any contents. If it turns out that youinstead applied a cutting-torch to a mimic, well, that is what uncontrolled firebreath over a large area is for...

Oh, I see, somebody forgot to recharge the flame charges... Who wants to arbitrarily blame Armok for this oversight? But spend a single flame charge, concentrate it and sustain it as much as possible with pyrokinesis, and introduce it to the base of the nearest chest. If it turns hostile then, well, throw some death mana at it...

We don't currently have pyrokinesis. Unless you want to use to spell bubble.

That sounds tedius... Can we just nuke them?

[Whisperling]

Guys, this isn't all that complicated. Just use an ID scroll or the wailescope.

You Stab the brush in the sand to keep it upright, before drawing Caliber and hefting it on your shoulder, Spit out a small blast of fire and expend your Sustained Pyrokinesis Spell to take control of the fire.

From there, you perform a downward strike, exhausting the last of your Elbow grease.

THUNK  The chest wriggles to life, the wood splintering from the blow, but otherwise leaving it relatively unharmed, It and the other chests extrude themselves from the ground, Giant black obelisks with spindly legs sprouting from the sand to support them.

The chests open, revealing a large white and red eye in each The edges of the chest hold sharp teeth.

You jump back, Wailascope at the ready.

Wailascopography indicates that these creatures have a weak point within their massive eye, and use these dark colored shells to deflect magic and energy attacks.

Each one is incredibly weak however.  Aside from it's strong shell and general abilities, it should be no match for careful decapitation and magical fun.

The sword is a bit heavy, You switch back to your Halfstaff. -1 Elbow grease

The one you hit is more damaged than you initially assumed, it sways as though concussed.
