As Kari speaks in a language Kurik doesn't understand, he directs Worm. There is an ever so slight movement in his head, which would cause most people freak out and start tugging at their ear but Kurik was use to it. Worm cast it's spell to look at the surface thoughts of the dragon.
Using earworm to cast detect thoughts on the closer of the two dragons
Kurik feels a tickling sensation, far too deep inside his ear, an itch he could never scratch as something moves about ever so briefly within his skull. He briefly rubs behind his ear, before thoughts begin rolling into his mind. The dragon before him is full of spite, and anger, but there are equal parts of fear and confusion as well. The dragon can tell the Gith before him is lying to him, and it isn't acting normally, but he doesn't know why. He needs more information before he runs off with these Gith in pursuit of intruders....
Kari sees the dragon's tail twitch back and forth, sending coins clinking about the pile of treasure. It glares at her with suspicous eyes. Then it sniffs....as it crouches low, it's body waggling as if ready to pounce, and it says, "I smell your fear Giittthhh....where is my sister Thragenzurt? What does your commander say?"
The other dragon meanwhile advances, cautious of the group, but moving closer, its eyes glancing occasionally up and over the group as it perks its ears to hear the shouting of Gith beyond.

The dragon crouches, as if ready to pounce, and says in Gith to Kari, "There are no intruders here, look elsewhere."
As Mal attempts to move down the passage towards the dragons to make her way down the passage to the left, the other dragon growls and snaps....making an obvious signal to stop her advance.

Mal will reluctantly stop and look over her should and with a shrug will let out a sigh and then ask Kari, "What do you want me to do sir, you said the commander told us to look everywhere. The intruders have already killed 2 dragons, do we let these fend for themselves or continue our search?"
Kari Looks undecided for a moment, then tries again. "The intruders know a few tricks to evade us unseen, we should check every passage. Please let us at least look down these halls by you so that we can make a complete report back to the commander when we leave."
The two dragons let out some gutteral clicking and growls but slither backwards onto their horde and seem to acquiesce.
Mal, feeling free to move forward, enters the dragon horde under the watchful eyes of both dragons.
Past the horde room and to the left is an opening into a mid-sized room. A lavish wood-framed bed stands near the wall across from four 2-foot-high, 6-inch-wide open slits through the stone wall. Through the slits, Mal sees the starry void of space beyond. A chair is setup in this room, on which is a Gith warrior. Mal stops short but then realizes that the Gith is both elderly, and missing both of his eyes. Regardless, a two handed blade sits within easy reach of the chair. The Gith is not armored and seems to be waiting, his head cocked. He doesn't seem to have heard Mal's quiet approach though.
There is one other passage on the right side of the dragon hoard room. As Mal slipped past, she was able to see it round out towards the back and then apparently open up completely to the darkness of space.

This post has potentially manipulated dice roll results.
Not what I was expecting to see, "Excuse my intrusion, the creche is under attack by an unknown number of intruders, we have been tasked to find and deal with them. You seem to have this area well in hand and I will leave you alone." With that she glances once more around the room and then will walk over to the other cave entrance, hopefully behind the dragons (if they did not fully retreat to the back of the cave - on top of their hordes) and as she walks behind (or in front of them) she will humbly glance at their horde and try and pick out the phylactery we are searching for.
The blind Gith nods silently towards Mal, but makes no other reaction. She notes a fiddle on his lap that is going unplayed as he sits there, a blanket across his lap, seemingly half-awake.
Mal makes to walk behind the dragons, but a snaking head darts over and warns her off, giving her the firm feeling that the dragons want to keep her fully within their site. Both of them watch as she treads past towards the other cave entrance, her eyes scanning the treasure. One of them has a guttural click that continues as she walks past.
The horde includes thousands upon thousands of copper, silver, electrum and gold, with a nice sprinkling of platinum. She spots amber, coral, bloodstones and numerous other precious stones, along with a painting, a mask made to look like a bear carved out of jade, and a small treasure box carved in wood that looks like a heart. Gems are embedded like windows through the wood across it, and it looks like it has a lid that can open.
When Mal sees the heart, a cold prickle runs across her flesh and she senses just the faintest whisper of voices in her mind. She can't hear what they're saying, or if they're saying anything, it sounds more like a whispered chorus of screams of terror. As soon as she pulls her eyes from the heart, the sound goes away. She reaches the far side of the dragon hoard cave and the mouth of the cave that leads away. It leads out of the rocky cave to a platform that hangs out over the edge of whatever structure they're in. There is no barrier between the edge of the platform and the black openness of space.

Mal looks about and then comes back into the room with the dragons, angling to walk a little closer to them. She will get in front of them and then turn to the dragons, "Thank you for patience, it appears the intruders have been wise to stay way from ones so mighty. We will search for them elsewhere."
At which point Mal goes to turn around and return to her companions, however instead she instantly sprints to the chest grabs it and sprints back towards her companions, yelling out, "Time to go now!"
[OOC: Using her full action, movement and BA to sprint grab the chest and disengage to hopefully avoid some attacks from the dragons. <fingers crossed>]
As Mal finishes speaking to the dragons, Mordekai will cast Major Image to create the illusion of a Mind Flayer bamfing into the middle of the room and immediately rushing into the room with the old Gith.
Kari grips her glaive in a prepared way and is ready to follow Mal's lead, not sure if that means attacking or running, she definitely looks ready to move.

Kari glances around at her companions but keeps speaking. "She has perished at the hands of the intruders. There are orders to spread out and search."
Mal will advance down the passageway angling for the western side passageway, and attempt to give the approaching dragon a wide berth.
