Break it open
The chest is reinforced with steel and probably Iremi riddlery. But if you actually turn the fire of your ship's guns on it, it will probably give up its contents. What's left of them. |
|
BOOM
A red-hot box-shard whizzes past your ear. You waft the smoke away, coughing. Not much remains in the shattered shell. Was this a Mirrorcatch Box? What's left of it, you can probably auction to the gullible of London. Claim it's a 'broken idol'.

Throw the box in the sea
Enough of this. Whatever's in there isn't worth the trouble. |
|
A single splash
Perhaps the Drownies will find it. Perhaps they'll take it to their King. Perhaps he'll find the answer in his store of stolen secrets. Perhaps it will lie tarnishing in an abyss until time rolls to an end.

Throw the box in the sea, as an offering to Salt |
|
A listening silence
There is no splash as the box enters the waves. The horizon waits.
|
Game note: This will give you Salt's Attention and remove Salt's Curse. |
Open the Box

A click as sweet and precise as a well-answered riddle
Within: a soul glowing like a hidden star. Heaped sapphires from the Elder Continent. A Presbyterate heart-cup. A water-stained journal, blurred to near-unreadability - an account of a failed expedition to the Mountain of Light...

A click as sweet and precise as a well-answered riddle
Books of poetry, pamphlets of a racier nature. A velvet-wrapped collection of ivory Chelonate carvings. And a Mirrorcatch box leaking sunlight. A handsome haul indeed.
