It is a very nice maple case, with a simple brass clasp, no lock. He hears some slight knocking, as if there are some wood pieces or something insidekipper wrote:How is the case fastened? Does it look locked or is it just latched in some way? Does the case itself look valuable (eg high-quality wood) or is it more functional in appearance? What does he hear when he jostles the case?
Basically what I'm getting at is that Maloof would like to open it, but he's not going to simply sit the case on his lap and open it while leering over the lid like a mooncalf.
If it's simple latched, he will attempt to open the latch using some sort of small tool/item, and then open the lid with his mace while standing well back and keeping the box pointing towards a wall. If the box is locked, but looks not to be valuable in and of itself, he favours turning the box upside-down on the floor and prying apart the individual wooden planks with a sword blade or smashing it open (unless he can hear the sound of glass or something otherwise fragile when shaking the case). If the box is locked and valuable, he will save it to open when we have more time, perhaps hiring a specialist back in town.
