Assuming you all go to L6

The skeletal remains of a samurai
sits motionless a top a large jade
and cherry wood chest here.

Map Full

"Well Mai? Go open the chest." Sir Alfric urged, smiling.

"Why do I feel like this is one horrible trap."

"Sure it's a trap. The chest and that skeleton are unlooted by those little vermin. Want me to go up there with you?"

"What else are we expecting? I'll keep an eye on that entry tunnel, just in case those skeletons get up."

she sarcastically replies
"Oh Great, I feel safer already."

Sir Alfric strikes a heroic pose.
"As you should."

"Look Mai, we cannot simply stand around. Look, I'll help."
Sir Alfric will stride forward past the rest of the group and walk up to the skeleton on the chest. He intends to sweep the old bones off and open the chest.

The Second Sir Alfric goes to move the skeleton it animates, and swipes at him

Attack: 1d20 + 8 ⇒ (14) + 8 = 22
Damage: 1d6 + 5 ⇒ (2) + 5 = 7

and his friends in the other room start getting up.

"Now, you know why I was cautious."

Sir Alfric grunts as he is it and stumbles backward a step, unable to block it with his shield in time.
"THANK you Mai, for your..." He says as he steps forward to counterattack the skeleton samurai.

"Oh boy, even more fun to deal with"

Kiley Sherrow:

I Channel Channel(Harm): 1d6 ⇒ 5

The Skeleton goes poof

"That thing was tough! Is everyone all right?"

"What's in the box? Is it trapped further? And what woke that thing up?"

Natara begins searching the area and examining the main skeleton.

Perception: 1d20 + 6 ⇒ (12) + 6 = 18

Sir Alfric breathes a sigh of relief as the wave of positive energy reduces the skeleton that hit him so hard.
"Right then. Are any of them still up?"
He looks around for threats.
Perception: 1d20 + 5 ⇒ (10) + 5 = 15

none are up

Once the chest is opened, it’s obvious that many objects
(mostly fireworks and potions) have been removed from
numerous slots in the chest’s velvet-lined interior—
the handiwork of the Licktoad goblins. However, the
chest still holds five potions of cure light wounds, two
potions of cure moderate wounds, three potions of lesser
restoration, a ring of climbing, a wand of identify
with 19 charges, a masterwork chain shirt, a
masterwork cold iron wakizashi, 11 Desnan
candles, and four skyrockets,
in addition to 3,820 sp, 421 gp, and various
pieces of fine jewelry worth 560 gp total.

Sir Alfric carefully scoops up a handfull of coinage and lets it dribble through his fingers.
"That is a lot of money for those creatures to NOT take. I am curious as to why."

"Look at some of the coins, they are not local coins.
Heck even some of the gem cuts are of a different style."

"And looks like this guy did not have locally made gear."
