Adventure Zone moment that doesn’t get enough attention: Magnus “challenging” a locked metal box to various stat contests to try and open it, including lifting the box over his head, throwing it into the air and trying to dodge it (and failing), and finally challenging the box to a poison-drinking contest. The box is an inanimate object with no Constitution score, so Magnus wins, the box somehow dies and this causes it to unlock and reveal the gold inside.

And after all that ridiculous work Taako refuses to let the party actually keep the gold because ‘We’re in a bank! This isn’t a dungeon, we’re not looting! People do business here!’
