To Calcryx as she leaves; "If you remain hidden near the exit when I am done with all this, and have been to the village, I will try to help you return to where you belong. You are an intelligent being... there are so many horrors in this world. Do not let them make you one."
Arxius will crouch down to Meepo's level. "Meepo, please. If you tell Yusdrayl they will come. Calcryx does not belong to her, she deserves her freedom. If she was the manifestation of a God, would she have allowed you to chain her? Even if she did not recall what she was."
Calcryx closes her eyes and bows her head slightly at your words. Then continues on her way.
When Calcryx leaves the corridor and is out of earshot Meepo says, "Meepo not want hurt Calcryx. Meepo not know what do... Meepo part of two clans now. Meepo don't know how to choose. But, friends promised Yusdrayl they find Calcryx. Friends found... they not lie. They still honorable. Meepo go with friends, tell Yusdrayl about Calcryx when we finished mission?"
Alten leaves the room, goes down the hallway past the others. He goes into the firing area of the target range (accross from the pantry). He sinks down to his knees to pray to Torm for guidance and probably forgiveness.
You kneel and offer up penance to Torm. After a few moments you close your eyes waiting on a reply and hopefully a bit of his divine wisdom. But, the room is silent. You are alone with your own thoughts. You receive no reply. No absolution. No penances. You hear nothing but the beating of your own heart. “Thump, Thump, Thump...” it sounds like marching soldiers in your ears.
Then you hear the patter and click of talons on stone as Calcryx makes her way into the room. She sees you and stops. She seems to consider you for but a moment. She seems to make some sort of decision and then proceeds to make her way out of the room.
Alten ignores the dragon as it goes by. He didn't really expect to get an answer directly. In the time of listening to his own heartbeat after finishing his prayer, does he still feel the divine spark within him that feeds his powers?
Your spark is still there. But, you are given no sign as to whether you did the right thing in the eyes of Torm, or not.
Arxius hugs Meepo back firmly. "Let us continue this journey together," she says as she gets up and nods for him to follow her back into the other room. Not noticing for the time being that she hasn't put her gloves back on since she showed her hands to Calcryx.

A few minutes go by and Corkie makes her way out into the archery range. She watches Alten for a moment from the doorway then goes into the room to speak with him.
”Ahem.. Are you alright brother? Can we speak? I’m not feeling right about the events that just transpired.”
Grom will make his way into the treasure room she came out of and take a look around for scrolls or weapons preception: 15
@ShaZadam @Sorvas There aren't any weapons, or scrolls visible, but you spot the chest set against the western wall. Calcryx also left behind an assortment (12 pieces) of fine silverware worth 1 gp each.
EDIT: The chest is wooden and iron banded. It has a small keyhole set just below the lid.
we have the set of keys from the goblins they said one would unlock this

Talien will go retrieve the keys from Alten, eyes changing from blue to green. (If Alten hands them over) he will return and open the chest. (Not knowing proper edict he will more than likely interrupt the conversation between Alten and Corkie to get them. (Not interrupting someone mid sentence but during a pause ask for the keys.)

(Not knowing proper edict he will more than likely interrupt the conversation between Alten and Corkie to get them. (Not interrupting someone mid sentence but during a pause ask for the keys.)
You unlock the chest and open it. When the lid opens a few inches you hear a snapping sound as the tripwire inside the chest breaks and a "thooomp" as a dart flies out and hits you in the abdomen dealing 4piercing damage.
Talien pulls the dart out and inspects it. He tosses it to the side nonchalantly more irritated that it even pierced him. He walks back to Alten and returns the keys just by tossing them to him wordlessly. on his return to the room he will tell Trick Grom believes we have found your possessions. I do not know what they really look like. Please look at what is inside the chest. He will walk back into the 'treasure room' after he puts an alarm on the doors of strings and bells (all unopened doors that we have not entered at this point)
"Finally!" Trick will move to the chest. He will gather what is his and nothing more. He pops open the leather case for his painting and examines the contents to ensure it came to no harm and straps it to the usual place across his back.

Your painting is safe and sound inside the case... but the case is somewhat sticky with goblin gunk on the outside and it has been defaced with some kind of crude drawing of what appears to be a kobold with X’s for eyes and a dagger in its back.
(what possessions are not his directly so we can split the loot?)
(Also do we get XP from the dragon encounter?)
Yes, 75 XP each.
The priest’s pack and shortsword are Corkies, the rest are Tricks. The meager coppers and silver are for the party. But, there’s also that silverware if anyone wants it, or wants to add it to the party’s treasury.

”Ahem.. Are you alright brother? Can we speak? I’m not feeling right about the events that just transpired.”
Alten simply nods to her.
Corkie smiles sadly at Alten, then says, "On second though.. you look like you need some time brother... We can speak another time... Tonight perhaps. I'll leave you to pray for a moment and make sure nobody disturbs you." With that Corkie bows her head and heads back into the corridor, closing the door tightly behind her.
She makes her way into the Trophy Room as Trick is pulling his things out of the chest, "Hey your stuff! Is my pack and sword in there? I'd sure like to have it back!"
Calcryx closes her eyes and bows her head slightly at your words. Then continues on her way.
When Calcryx leaves the corridor and is out of earshot Meepo says, "Meepo not want hurt Calcryx. Meepo not know what do... Meepo part of two clans now. Meepo don't know how to choose.

"I know it will likely make Yusdrayl angry, Meepo, but I promise you that I defend my Clan with my life. And that includes you."

You unlock the chest and open it. When the lid opens a few inches you hear a snapping sound as the tripwire inside the chest breaks and a "thooomp" as a dart flies out and hits you in the abdomen dealing 4 piercing damage.
Inside you find 18 silver pieces, 3 copper pieces, a Priest's Pack, a shortsword, a rapier, some traveling clothes, a dagger, Painter's Supplies, Perfume (vial), a drum, and an interesting looking case that looks like it could house a map, or a fine work of art.
