There's 9 gray 2x4 bricks in the chest and some rock pieces and a turret plus the warriors. All chests have the same parts I think, maybe different warriors (there are gold and silver chests).

(...) You're both correct about the trans-yellow canopy. It's two pieces; the rear part actually connects to the surrounding bricks and provides the pivot on which the front part of the canopy hinges up. Very cool. It's reminiscent of the canopy (...)
