”Well, Xorns seem to be quite hungry...” Reverie watches all these situations until everything seems so quiet. Covering her trembling lips with her arm for a moment, she tries to calm down from the fear of what just happened to her. After a weak smile to her friends, she walks towards the other unopened chest, inspecting if there is any interesting relics for the researchers.

Reverie Forestgleam—Human Paladin Level 5 in Frontier City of Nunkreet Extremely busy and busy as ever recently, but I will trying to catch up as much as I can
Froskan discovers that one of the 3 chests was ripped apart by the Xorn. Considering that it was hardened wood and iron, meant to hold heavy objects, the destruction of the chest is a bit impressive. There are some copper and silver coins that were not consumed, but they are scattered in the rocks and bones and debris, not worth picking out.
Reverie sees that the two remaining chests are intact, locked, but not obviously trapped. (And not Mimics, if you were worried about that.) The chests themselves are rather old, and somewhat heavy even when not filled. She asks Jack to come over. With Iskander helping out, a chest can fit in each of your bags of holding. You can open them when you are safely out of The Pit.
Trimyrai goes to the south part of the cavern, and recovers 4 of his 4 arrows. Fortunately, the arrows went all the way to the rock wall, and were not caught in the icy explosion from Froskan's attack.
As Trim is putting the arrows back in his magic quiver, he notices the ground is starting to shake. Looking north, the other 4 by the chests don't seem to notice anything going on.

(OOC: I will be busy this weekend. The battle will start up on Monday, so you have time this weekend to talk strategy, gossip, or post your roll.)
Trim backs away from that spot on the ground. A huge-sized creature emerges from the rubble: a skeleton of an adult dragon. Underneath the growl coming from the dragon's skull, you can hear traces of dark laughter in the bone naga's voice.
The good news: this creature is not a dracolich. This skeleton won't be able to use a breath weapon on your group.
The bad news: even though a skeleton doesn't compare with a live dragon, it still has hard bones, a menacing jaw with dagger-like teeth, and claws that can gut a normal person in one swipe.

”That’s not good..” Jack grips Leroy as he watches the dragon rise. “We need formations! If ye plan on throwing spells, stay in the back! If ye plan on fighting up close, stay up close, but beware! I’ll try to back up the melee with me songs!” Jack smiles, and speaks softly to himself. “This will be a great story one day.”
Reverie looks back at Isk when he put his hand on her shoulder, listening to his words about the madness and it can be manageable with help from friends. A weak smile shows up until she hears Trim’s words. Soon she gasps quietly as she looks at the dragon skeleton. ”Well...” she grabs firmly of her scimitars, ”I think this maybe the climax.”

This post has potentially manipulated dice roll results.
Dragon skel initiative: 17 The dice roller may hate Reverie, but it doesn't like skeletons either.
Maybe the Climax Fight, round 1
Trimyrai was backing up (from the wall where he was collecting his arrows), but he hasn't reached the others, who were all around the chests. The 2 intact chest are in the bags of holding.
Party health: Iskander (21/38), Jack (43/43), Trimyrai (21/44), Reverie (26/44), Froskan (37/37)
Reminder that each 5' square takes 10' of land movement.
Initiative Order: the party (Trimyrai, Froskan, Jack, Iskander, Reverie), the dragon skeleton
Everyone can post their round 1 actions and movement.

Isk looks at the party and sees how nicely gathered together we are. "Spread out! He could have a breath weapon like the Naga." He then whispers a chant in celestial causing his eyes to boils away into radiant flames and wings of golden energy spring from his back. He leaps into the air and fixes his gaze on the dragon.

OoC: From post 3262, it is obvious that the skeleton is missing the parts of the dragon anatomy necessary for Dragon Breath.
But it makes sense that Isk would worry that the naga spirit could have more AoE spells, beyond the 2 Lightning Bolts that were cast earlier.

Trim uses his full movement to go 15' towards the others (across difficult terrain). His foot slips on some rubble, throwing off his first shot (11), but his second arrow connects for 11 damage.
Froskan, Jack, and Reverie are up. (Iskander has posted.)

Jack will stand next to Froskan, and smile. Beating his drum, he lights up the area around the DragoSkully. "Time to light this place up!"
(Busy, cant think of lyrics. Faerie fire, the drago skeleton must make a Dex save or be lit up, so that we have advantage)
