how big is the strong box? Could it be removed by us? If so we should take it back to the boat. I motion to Azoth and Thren to help me pick it up. It's probably worth a fair amount if it's big and well made. It might also be possible to lower it from the top of the tower with ropes and pullies from the boat.
After we remove the safe, I say we proceed down the stairs.
Dex 4 isn't so good but I'm in this. It doesn't give hit penalties so screw it.
