The converging clouds cut you off from the oracle as the portal closes once more. The main temple room, with the larger-than-life giant statues, is filled with the muted thundering from the portal.
Harshnag shrugs. “So. Where to now? Straight to Grudd Haug? I imagine you’ll need a plan. Despite the stupidity of hill giants, they aren’t complete fools. They regularly ally themselves with goblins and ogres, and are quite dangerous in combat. They’ll have guards at least—you won’t be able to simply walk into the place and demand the conch from Guh.”
“I’ve never seen the place or been there myself, but I‘m familiar with the region well enough. I would imagine some scouting would be in order if you’re looking to get information.” The frost giant shrugs.
A sudden breeze from the open doorway brings a chill upon you, but Harshnag doesn’t seem to notice.
Don shrinks back into the shadows taking the giants advice. His coloring changes to match the landscape helping to camouflage himself. He calls out to Edgar commanding him to hide as well.
The wind dies down and you hear the crunch of frost under heavy feet.
Moments later, an enormous blue dragon bursts through the main doors of the temple! The gargantuan dragon scans the room with a hateful gaze, which comes to rest on you. The dragon’s sight seems to bore into you, and you have the dreadful feeling that there’s nothing you can do to hide from it.
Harshnag wastes no time. His shining axe is already in his hand, and his fighting spirit seems to shine just as bright. The frost giant charges forward, yelling, “Go! Quickly! I’ll hold her off!”
Don runs past Harshnag brushing his fingers against the giants leg, silently whispering to himself. Then dashes toward the exit.
As he runs he tells Harshnag telepathically, "Give him a taste of his own medicine, you can now breath dragon frost at him. Get away from him soon, you are still needed my friend."
When Don touched him he cast Dragon's Breath as a bonus action. Edgar also dashes out.
Crownsguard runs over to Harshnag as well and touches his axe and casting Magic Weapon at 2nd level, “Agreed. I have increased your efficiency. You may offer your prayers of thanks to Primus later. Refrain from dying.” He mechanically does a salute, “See you later.”
This post has potentially manipulated dice roll results.
Ink strafes behind Harshnag, enacting his bladesong. He moves forty feet west-north-west, making sure not to complete a straight line with the Dragon and Harshnag... He knows better than that.
The dragon seems to be just within the limits of his fire bolt, so he lets one fly!
Harshnag and the dragon charge towards each other, titans of storm and ice in this ancestral hall of giants. Harshnag exhales a mighty cone of frost from his mouth and cleaves down with his glowing axe, but the dragon sweeps low with her tail and pushes him into the 100-foot-tall statue of Annam All Father. The ground rumbles under their feet as the two grapple, giving you the precious few moments that you need to escape.
Flint gets his butt moving.
Don runs out as well.

"Scouting is a good idea... and best to do it on foot. If they have guards, they'll likely see the ship from some way off," Ink comments.
Ink shudders at the sudden cold, he looks towards the main doors, "Did we leave the door open? Maybe it's the ship's crew?"

The gale picks up. Harshnag notices now. “A foul wind,” he says. “Get back! Get into cover!”
