There are also 10 additional prisoners--most of which are human, but a few non-humans are also present. These are all captured bandits, travelers, traders, and other folk that Velvet absconded from the Phlan Path since his arrival.
They don't have much in the realm of useful information for the party,
All of the prisoners are severely malnourished and heavily injured. They are of no help in battle and refuse to proceed further into the complex. If forced to go towards Thr room with Throstelgrael, they scream and flail in abject terror, and dig their nails and feet into the floor.
Amongst the prisoners are:
An orog warlord of Thar who came to treat with the Velvet in the hopes that the dragon would secure her rise to power in the Grey Lands. One of Larga's bodyguards inadvertently insulted the dragon, and Larga and her party have been trapped here ever since. The dragon only recently consumed the last of Larga's retinue.
Where the other cages have 2 to 3 captives inside, only one cage has a single occupant--an old human woman you'd guess were it not for her impossibly black eyes. This is Sister Deathwillow.
Treasure
The kobolds have a total of 200 gp worth of saleable equipment, coins, and gems looted from the prisoners.
Each of the kobold cult fanatics has a key that unlocks the cages and shackles.
Conflicted on what to do next, Ethan stares at the ghastly surroundings. "Damn it... we're missing two people. And is it just me or did one of ours run into the room without waiting for us first?! Ugh..." Unable to follow Sam since he knows that he's slower, he frantically wonder if he should risk his own life without the others by his side. At least, until the sounds of a troll on his left alert him. "Hold on a moment... Randy and whatever the bunny's name is! Stay in here whilst I find and rescue Tetra. I think he's in a bit of a pickle at the moment. If you guys can, search for the keys that could free these poor prisoners from this hellish world! I believe those are the people the hags are talking about including their sister!"
He turns to the lone prisoner who he assumes is the Deathwillow person that they need to rescue before he marches back to where Tetrevess is standing to coerce him to regroup. "Listen, is your name Deathwillow? We're gonna get you out of here once this is over if so! Hang in there!"
If he can walk back to the door where he entered: "Hey Tetra! What's holding you back outside?! Get in there with the rest! *Cough cough*" Mighty Raven, please protect us with your guidance whilst you're still here!

<EB should work, with Ethan standing between Twtrevess and the Water elemental, aiming around it (5e doesn't penalize for that in any way I know of). I'm assuming the tumble failed so the troll has not moved (rolled a 6 in a Contest, unlikely to win.
(BTW, water elemental is a great choice here because he would be taking poison damage by proximity to the troll whenever it gets hit, but since it's immune to thst damage type, I haven't mentioned the absence of the effect. It's just really a good tactical choice)>
Ethan squeezes into the hallway between the water elemental and the scribes wizard (assuming the elemental wins the Dex contest) and blasts the troll, drawing a small font of acrid bile from the wounds creates by the two blasts that find their mark. The troll is still on the attack. "You killed my sister and my Brother! Now my nephew lies dead beyond this wall of water! She suffered to no end. Now you shall suffer a fate worse than all of ours!" the troll rants in giant, (if anyone happens to understand).

As Chadderlay stands in the area illuminated by the manifest mind, he sees beneath the surface of the knee-high water a hole where the floor suddenly drops, seeing it helps him narrowly avoid a fall.
Within the submerged hole in the floor, Chad thinks he sees the faint glow of a pair of green lights, about a foot apart.
Did I hit the dracolich
(ooc: I didn't edit post #3982 as you can clearly see so how does it get flagged for having potentially manipulated dice roll results... I think there is a bug that D&D Beyond has yet to fix, this is not the 1st time I have seen this happen to people when they haven't edited there posts.)

(anyway yeah, I forgot to say I upcast it but I took a 4th level spell slot off my sheet, so do with that as you will... i was rushing and forgot to say that in my original post.)
Yeah, that happens all the time.
Sam can keep all those attacks rolled for the dracolich. But that's the next turn. This turn Sam didn't have enough movement. (They'll hit, though)
Sam narrowly sidesteps the submerged hole (per the successful Dex save; he would have seen it if he passed perception check).
Think I'm still waiting on Oli and Alistar.
Con Save vs poison gas: 13
WIS Save vs fear: 19
Oli moves over by Randy (I have moved him on the map) and readies his hand crossbow for the first enemy to renter the room.
Readied attack if one comes in before Oli's next turn: 14
Damage: 7
<Actually, I j7st saw Sam's save against frightening presence was 14 against DC19, so his attacks would be w/DA. >
Dracolich attacks Sam with its tail (LA) 30 for 15 bludgeoning
Dracolich attacks Sam with its tail (LA) 16 for 15 bludgeoning
Dracolich attacks Sam with its tail (LA) 31 for 15 bludgeoning
Sam attacks the dracolich (DA rolls needed).
Then, in its turn, the Dracolich attacks Sam
claw 12 for 13 slashing
Claw 22 for 13 slashing
bite 29 for 15 piercing
Then it moves elsewhere in the room.
.. so make a perception check upon entering if you do so.
"Has anybody got eyes on the Dragon!"
Chad tries to steady his nerves and prepare for whatever happens next.
Don’t think DA matters as Sam is down with a 2 fails as of the crit
<sorry, didn't roll the crit. On vacation, got water in phone. It dried out.>
Also, the troll uses tumble (BA, DMG) to move through the water elemental 4 contested by Dex of the water elemental (it's summoner can roll it)
If it gets through it attacks Tetrvess, otherwise it just attacks the elemental
Bite 18 for 7 piercing damage plus 4 poison damage, and the target is poisoned until the start of the troll’s next turn.
Claw 14 for 11 slashing damage plus 4 poison damage.
Claw 11 for Hit: 11 slashing damage plus 4 poison damage.
Samogri 21 ✅️ (death saves)
Oli 17 ✅️
Monster 16 ✅️
Alistar 15 ▶️
Randy 12 ✅️❗️
Chadderlay 7 ✅️
Ethan 6 ✅️
Tetrevess 5 ▶️
(I think this is correct)
For certain, PCs are up.
(Checking for accuracy)
