The tiny 3 and a half foot tall tiny Piccolo smiles and plays a happy tune. The still wears a dirty beige torn dress, has grass stains on her hoofs and knees, dirt on her face and nose and has long disheveled hair. she shoes Trisk a glass rapier she somehow acquired, and swings it around, pretending to stab him playfully.
(Telepathy: Image of her standing next to a dragon (from the doom vault) and communicating with it through music). She shrugs.
"Yes, it might be nice to know it's side of the story. Is it trapped here? Or willingly serving some evil master? We were told it was put here to act as a guard of some sort. I wonder what it's guarding."
Trisk looks curiously at the glass rapier, "A weapon crafted of glass. It's quite possible that it could be enchanted."
"Anyway, as we explore and if we're lucky, maybe we can avoid the dragon altogether. But it never hurts to have options."

"A rightful place awaits you in the Realms Above, in the Land of the Great Light. Come in peace, and live beneath the sun again, where trees and flowers grow."

You saw it fly in and enter through a hole in the wall. It is definitively not trapped. Kelek, on the throne, referred to it as tbe previous owner's pet and called the cauldron it's food dish. Succesful insight would suggest he was being truthful.
Ok, so if we're finished (at least for now) investigating the rainbow rooms, the door past all the locked ones leads to... Zybilna’s Bedroom.
This spacious bedchamber is lightly furnished. An oval mirror in a black wood frame is mounted on the east wall, and a chess set with jet and bloodstone playing pieces rests atop an octagonal table in the southwest corner, flanked by two comfortable, high-backed chairs. A four-poster bed with black silk sheets and drapes stands in the middle of this room. Lounging on the bed are two creatures, each with the lower body of a lion. One has the head and upper torso of a woman, the other the head and upper torso of a man. The feminine one fixes you with a steely gaze and asks, “Are you important?”
<anyone knowledgeable in such matters would know, or at least suspect, that these are demons.>
Drain bows to the wizards. "I am called Drain. I am a...warrior. Trained in the way of stealth and blade, along with some magics but perhaps not to your level of expertise. In fact we met Piccolo earlier. She had opened a door to a rather suspicious beast downstairs that threatened to eat us."
“I am a sailor in the Gwynneth navy, or I was until a few months ago,” says Uriel. He is a sylvan elf who stands relaxed but alert, holding what looks to be a magnificent elven spear. Other than that, he wears sturdy but high quality clothing and no armor.
”I do have some fighting skill, especially when it comes to shipboard combat, but thanks to my spear I can hold my own in most scuffles,” he adds.

As they enter the room, Uriel starts when he sees the demons. “It seems the new management here was not lying about demons in the area.”
”I am only important to a few select and precious ones,” says Uriel. “But she is undoubtedly the most interesting person in the room,” he adds while pointing at Piccolo.

Drain notices some transmutation magic glowing about the chess set in the corner.
They're just asking anyone who stumbles in here. It's a general question. They will assume the most important person will answer so they don't really care who does until they know that. Mostly they just want to know about Zybilna.
The PCs are all aware by now that Zybilna is the ArchFey who built this castle and indeed the whole of Prismeer, the domain you are now in, itself within the Feywild. She supposedly grants wishes. It is her Kelek referred to as the consort of demons and the dragon's pet parent.
It's a weird looking dragon, by the way, not like those you've seen before, regardless where yiure from, but maybe that's just how they look in the Feywild. Everything's a bit distorted and extreme here.
”My apologies, little one,” says Uriel to Piccalo, “you are the most eloquent among us so I assumed…no matter.”
To the Lamia, Uriel says, “I know of Zybilina only by reputation, as heretofore the ruler of Prismeer and sometimes grantee of wishes. I wish to meet her in person, but the state of her castle seems…unsettled…with a pretender on her throne and some portion of the residents apparently frozen in time.”

(OOC: Trisk is the most familiar with Piccolo, and parts of her backstory, but suffice it to say, she has been a trapped prisoner for a very long time and is a bit jumpy)
Uriel hears a quiet musical sound, He believes he imagines a feeling of relief, as if she was quite scared.
Trisk
Trisk knows that she was not scared at all of the demons. Its all for show. She likes to keep her powers hidden.
Noticing the crown on his brow, the lamia adress Uriel, "i see, and rhis usurper you speak of - he is aware, your grace, that you, a self avoed stranger to Zybilna, are currwntly in her bedchamber for xome reason. Is this so?"
"What are you hinting at Nemesatra?" asks the male Lamia.
"I hint at nothing, Trizzian. I merely wonder what business this sovereign who speaks of usurper has in the private chambers of the ladybird the house, of whom he knows nothing."
Beginning to regret putting on the crown, Uriel says, “Yes, the usurper gave us permission to explore the castle and confirm his assertion—that he has deposed Zybilina, she works with demons, and her pet dragon is a threat. I must say that finding you two in her bedchamber lends credence to his words.”
”Still, I would rather hear the queen speak for herself before making any rash judgements. How may we find her?” Uriel adds.
Piccolo steps out behind Trisk and begins to play a mellow melody: (Musical Telepathy to the entire group present: She conveys an image of Uriel as a kind and well-meaning ruler, but a stranger to this world, who is here with his friends to help. She presents herself as his humble servant): Persuasion: 23 (OOC: She hopes the music will calm any tempers or concerns)

Just double checked new dmg, rukes look the same to me. Short rest or the spell, or try it and see.

So, where to?
Piccolo finds some fruit or other soft thing in the area and expertly uses the glass rapier, seeing if it is sharp and useful.

The tiny girl hides behind Trisk, peaking out occasionally. Then she hides again, looking ready to disappear in an instant.
(perception on the demons:12) looking also for a place to hide.
Yup, they're demons, alright.
"You, then." says rhe lamia, "What is your relationship with Zybilna?"
"How long have you known her?" Adds rhe maculine lamia.
Drain:
Drain will stay back and let others do the talking, however he will utter a word of power and cast Detect Magic and look around the room.
(history or arcana check on the name Zybilna?: 12, who is the Iamia speaking to?)
