[With apologies to his old crew who knew the fine art of lockpicking and were never informed that Anders just thought it was Pin Wiggling. He drops the hairpin he's been uselessly jamming into locks and thumps a fist lightly on the lid of the chest, considering it.]
How are you with a bludgeon? I can freeze the lock, but I might not be able to break it open.
[Is there a bludgeon around here. Maybe snap off a bedpost.]
