"Not sure come to think of it. I can pick up on enchantments without a proper detect magic spell, but I usually need to study the item for a bit. Either I'm getting better at this, or the aura is made to be particularly noticable. I would suspect the latter."
"Welp, fortunately, unlike some other locks, this one can wait. That would seem to do it for this section of the tunnels. Let's move on to the next. Would people prefer to explore the northwest tunnels and maybe avoid conflict for the moment, or get this over with and tackle the north tunnel?"
Presuming I see no reason to do otherwise, I'll remove the lockbox and store it in someone's backpack.
I think carefully." I would prefer the north tunnels to get it over with. I'm a big believer in if there is something difficult to do then it should be done first. I hate putting off things I dread." I shrug and wait for the decision on where we go.

I must agree with Rachel, lets get the North tunnel done and over with. If there is nothing else to check out in this room.
I'll offer my agreement as well in going down the north tunnel, so that we could finish things up there. Into the locked box, I say, "Does anyone have the knock spell, or I wonder if this world has something similar to it? It's a spell Wizards and Sorcerers can get very early on."

"I'm close to having access to Knock, but not quite there yet. I'm sure one of the mages at the stronghold could manage, or I could just try a hand drill or a saw on the thing. If nothing else, I could make a scroll with the spell on it, but I'd rather not spend resources we don't need to."
"That's for later though. Let's get going shall we?"
The others having voiced their opinion, the group will troop on out of this section of the tunnels, then form up outside of the Northern tunnel.
"Careful guys, we still have little information on the nature and capabilities of the creatures down here. So try not to commit until we have a better idea of what we're getting into. Same as before, unless something comes up to change the pattern, always taking the right hand path."
Out of Character: For some reason I thought we'd already picked those up. No matter, easily fixed.
In Character: On our way out, we'll check in with Be, "These tunnels appear to be clear, so you should be safe to keep up your research. We're heading for where the unknown hostile creatures were reported. Hopefully we'll be able to deal with them without major problems. With that in mind, I would like to go ahead and take the potions you have fully identified. They may save a life in there."
