This post has potentially manipulated dice roll results.
OCC: I wasn't sure what was next, but yes I am going to try to convince the party to take the egg.
Theo steps out from behind the bit of rock obscuring the last egg. "Um, I know I just all met you a few minutes ago..but please trust me when we should keep this last egg." He motions towards it a bit timidly.
"Think..think about it...how much you'd piss off this cult knowing someone stole an egg...and, um..I know a buyer that would give us top coin for it. And I mean TOP coin..set for life!"
Before that night in Greenest, when he was just a mercenary between jobs, as it were, Wex would have leapt at a chance to "earn" top coin. But now... a lot has happened to him since then. And yet. Looking over from his spot against the wall, he glances at Sevrn in the dark nearby. Then he calls out, "If you have a way to get it out of here, Theo, I'm not against keeping it, either as treasure, as leverage, or" and he looks directly at Sevrn, "As a symbol."

Mopham grumbles a bit under his breath, but then stands up full from where he was sitting on the stairs. He sighs then says "I'll help, but I still don't like it."
Wex rolls his eyes, but prepares to leave the cave complex again. "We will have some trouble getting it up the rope in the next room, we may need to search for an alternate exit. Unless we use Theo's magic now, instead of waiting."
"There must be another way up. A rope ladder under a carpet would not be the only way down here. "
Sevrn will take the lead as the group works its way back to the room where the half-dragon was killed. If there is no other way to the main level, he will climb first and guard the entrance until Theo casts his spell.
OCC: Do I know another way out due to my experience with the cult?
Theo gets his book out and read: "It will just be 10 minutes for the casting, a standard ritual."
If the group allows he will complete the ritual. He focuses and traces his wand around the egg a few times and sets up small rocks as he does in a circle. When complete a mostly translucent force rises out of the ground from the traced circle and moves the egg up with it about 3ft off the ground, floating in place.
OOC: sorry traveling home guys! But yes, Theo, you do know of another way down. They didnt bother to blindfold you or anything. In the big shrine room the exit to the northwest leads out through a few more rooms. You actually dont know about the way the others are talking about "up a rope ladder"
"Just tell us where to go, Theo," Wex says. "Flynn and I will lead the way. Keep your torch back here." He nods to Flynn to set off on the ceiling, then follows a little behind, as he is more noisy.

Theo will guide but try to stay behind the giant and the angry-elf in-case we encounter some cultists, especially since a giant egg is floating behind him.
OCC: How big is the egg? I remember it being too big to pocket right?
OOC: yes, way too big to pocket. Its about 3 feet tall and weighs about 150 lbs.
OOC: Whats the plan? Are you going to try and take the egg with?
OCC: I wasn't sure what was next, but yes I am going to try to convince the party to take the egg.

Would add to the story but either way is fine with me

Theo smiles cautiously.
"Yes I have a way, I have a spell ritual that is perfect for this...though it will cost some time."
He then looks towards the very intimidating Sevrn. "Your...thoughts?"
"Taking this egg will put Greenest at huge risk, likely get your purchaser killed, and..." [Sevrn betrays a smile] "Draw out the Dragon Queen."
"Mopham, if you're willing I can help you carry it out into the woods. Theo can cast his spell then, once we're far enough away from here."
Mopham grumbles a bit under his breath, but then stands up full from where he was sitting on the stairs. He sighs then says "I'll help, but I still don't like it."
Flynn will cover the rear as we exit

Theo explains to the group that he has no idea how they got in here, but there is another more traveled way to get out.
"There is a kind of more general exit that I had entered in before. I can show you the way, but I have no idea who we'll run into."
"Just tell us where to go, Theo," Wex says. "Flynn and I will lead the way. Keep your torch back here." He nods to Flynn to set off on the ceiling, then follows a little behind, as he is more noisy.

Sevrn let's himself fall back as his team mates take the lead back but keeps just in front of Theo and the Black Dragon egg.
