Alten steps back to be non-threatening and kneels down on one knee.
I am sorry for you loss little one. As a servant of my god, I know I would be devastated if something like that happened to me.
{It isn't clear to SDC - probably intentionally - if he was prisoner in the cage or if Calcyrx is a wyrmling or baby dragon that was kept in the cage and stollen. Is the cage big enough to hold the kobold?}
Pointing to the scratches
Did the goblins do that to you when they stole Calcyrx? How long ago it happen? Were you in the cage as a prisoner or was Calcyrix kept in the cage?
The cage takes up 20 square feet and extends all the way to the ceiling. You can make a nature, or survival check inside of it if you'd like [DC 15].
Meepo looks down at his scars and shrugs, "No. Not from goblins." Then looks at you quizzically and proudly says,"Calcyrx not prisoner!"
DM Note: There's also an investigation check available in this room [DC 15].
With Talien now doing whatever he's doing to watch the hall, Rees can move forward and start inspecting the cage (she'd know Arxius wouldn't get close to it) or the room depending on where Alten's focus is.
Alten is focusing on talking with Meepo. He'll leave the investigation and nature stuff to others who are better at it. He's best with the physical and with his oration.

Make either a nature, or survival check. Your choice, both are DC 15.
Alten frowns, hesitating a moment before answering.
As long as their goals and ours don't conflict, I see no reason we can't accomplish multiple tasks. Allies with knowledge of this place could be helpful. We just need to keep our wits about us and remember our mission.
He looks back at the others in the doorway and motions them in.
Anybody else see anything or object to meeting this Yudral?

Alten catches her eyes, deliberately looks at the Kobold, then looks hard back at her and gives a slow, single shake of the head with a serious, no-nonsense expression.
Then he looks to see what the others are doing and waits to see if anyone else expresses an opinion

"You promise to find Calcryx. Yusdrayl give you map maybe!"
"A map would definitely come in handy, but I would like to just remind everyone we've already got a couple missions we're attempting to accomplish - one of which has a fairly strict timeline. I'd love to help ...Meepmorp? as much as anyone, but we don't necessarily want to get overcommitted. Not saying we don't help, just...things to think about."

“Who hurt you, Meepo?” Arxius asks him. “We are trying to learn so that we can help you. Can you tell us more about Calcryx?”

"Meepo no hurt. Friend help Meepo. Meepo take you to meet Yusdrayl. You promise to find Calcryx. Yusdrayl answer friends questions."

Grom is just fascinated with those symbols.
"Then we should definitely speak with Yusdrayl," Arxius says, finally looking up at Alten from her crouched position. "What do you think?"
When she gets up, Arxius studies the room for a few moments. (Just for the hell of a roll, may as well take a shot)
Investigation: 5

Edit: "Yes! Yes! Yusdrayl!" Meepo squeaks in return.
Your scan the room and your eyes fall back on Alten...
You find lots of rat droppings...

"Possibility of a map - how could we pass that up?" Arxius says with a smile.

“Perhaps, Meepo, you could come with us. Help us with our quests and then we can help you with yours?” Arxius offers.

Grom would slowly walk over to the convo going on with the "meepo" fellow and listening to the convo he would like to insight check him/her
