Nah, I'll let it slide for now. Primarily because it's problematic for me to upload turns through the PPC, and I've already written and prepared this one.

Turn 2 ------------
Players: I use the heat from the fire to screw around with the lock, expanding it and hopefully opening it or something. Combine this with plenty of smashing against the ground and hopefully it shall open.
I practice my persuasion skill by telling Cheeetar what a great guy he is, and convincing him that he can break that lock easily.
I keep training.
Pray to Lady Bal'Rogga and hope that she rewards me with some magic. Or at least that she gives me some instructions.

CheeetarNirur TorirOrgErrol ----------------
Errol has faith in his deity and turns to her again, hoping that
Bal'Rogga is pleased enough to reward him. Turns out, she isn't. But she does give him guidance, telling him to avoid going south, and that inanimate objects don't interest her as sacrifices.
Nirur Torir approaches Cheeetar and yells an invigorating speech into his ear! It's a lousy way to raise someone's confidence, but it works! Forgetting everything he knows about safety, Cheeetar approaches the flame and sets the casket near it. After a few minutes, still cheered on by Nirur, he quickly snatches it away, almost burning his hands! Barely avoiding painful burns, Cheeetar carries the casket away from the fire, and then smashes it against the ground! The casket is hot, but doesn't seem to have lost any of its strength. Cheeetar smashes it again! And again! And again! Finally the casket's lock gives off a plaintive sort of
crink, breaks into pieces and falls out of its frame. The casket is open now. Inside of it are three coins of what seems to be copper, and a copper amulet. They're are fairly tarnished, and glued to the bottom of the casket by rust.
Having lost his training companion, Org attempts scaling the obstacle course alone. And succeeds this time! With barely a scratch and hardly breaking a sweat, he stands victorious on top of the house he's been using for practice.
------------
