Etriel Darastrix, still intermittently plane-shifting from the Prime Material Plane to the Ethereal Plane, nods approvingly at Gail and approaches the newly healed and freed Musashi, examining him briefly and asking: "Are you all well, our welcome-back traveling companion? You'll have something to tell your grandchildren... not many survive a meal with a dragon".
Meanwhile, the Foreign Traveler quickly looks around with her green eyes. Dragons typically possess vast treasures. There should be signs of it nearby. Perhaps something can be salvaged, now that the ceiling collapse seems to have been postponed...
OOC: Welcome back, @Tana! This is going to be a fun challenge...playing two separate characters and keeping their personalities separate in my head! :-)
Musashi blinks in genuine surprise as Gail effortlessly rips the iron bars right out of the stone framing. He looks from his own hands to the shattered cage, offering Gail a respectful, deeply impressed bow. "Your strength is formidable, Gail. My deepest thanks."
He steps through the gap, stretching his massive frame as his joints pop back into place. Turning to Etriel as she blinks back into view...a rare, rugged smile breaks through his usual stoic demeanor. "I am well enough, thanks to your timely magic, Etriel" he says, rolling his shoulders. "And you speak the truth. Though next time, I would prefer to meet the dragon before it decides I am on the dinner menu. Let us see what treasure this beast was guarding to warrant such a foul trap."
"Indeed, I know dragons well enough to know they're almost obsessive treasure collectors" the Eladrin Huntress replies to Musashi, but loudly enough for everyone to hear. "While riches are a means and not an end, having means is certainly not a bad thing. We should all take a look before we leave."
Then, after noticing a small pile of gold near the roof of the back room where the party entered, Etriel Darastrix flies to retrieve it. Her fellow adventurers might well spot something else in the meantime...
Musashi nods in agreement with the Eladrin huntress, his eyes scanning the cavern floor near the broken cage for any dropped gear or hidden compartments. "A dragon's hoard is rarely out in the open" he mutters, kicking aside a piece of loose rubble.
Perception: 24
Necyra
Near the entryway, Necyra watches Etriel fly up toward the roof. "Oooh, shiny!" she chirps, her previous panic completely forgotten at the mention of gold. Hovering on her own wings, she joins Etriel near the ceiling, peering into the nooks and crannies of the stone to see if that little pile is just the tip of a much larger iceberg, as well as looking for traps.
OOC: On the way up from the bottom, we had seen a chamber filled with treasure. It sounds like this is NOT that level? I was kind of expecting that to be the dragons lair.
Gail has a bag of holding that's mostly empty, so she can carry a lot of treasure for the group.

Musashi sees most of his own gear on the floor nearby the cage. But other than the small pile of gold there is nothing that you can currently see.

The little pile appears to be all of the gold. Would you like to look around the pile for traps or the pile for traps
Musashi breathes a sigh of relief as his eyes land on his familiar gear scattered near the wreckage of the cage. He steps over and immediately begins retrieving his weapons and strapping his armor back into place, feeling much more like himself as the weight of his equipment returns.
Necyra
"Hold on, don't touch it just yet!" Necyra says, holding a hand out to stall Etriel. Her eyes narrow as she hovers in front of the isolated stash. "A tiny pile of gold all the way up here? It screams bait." She leans in carefully, utilizing her sharp senses to inspect the gold pieces themselves, the stone ledge directly beneath them, and the immediate surrounding wall for any hidden pressure plates, tripwires, or magical runes that might trigger if a single coin is moved.
Upon hearing Necyra mention traps, Etriel Darastrix quickly pauses: "Good idea, my precious flying companion. And I'll try to support you by searching for active spells in the area."
The Eladrin Huntress, if she actually senses something, then focuses her magical senses to see a faint aura around any visible creature or object in the area that bears the magic (and if an effect was created by a spell, she learns the spell's school of magic).
So? Is Gail able to bend the bars and free Musashi?
OOC: Are we still continuing on with this campaign?

OOC. I was busy for the past two weeks. I'm back to a regular posting schedule now. So yes.

Gail manages with an incredible display of strength to rip half the bars off. Freeing Musashi entirely.

You see a small pile of gold near the roof of the back where you entered.

With that said, the Foreign Traveler casts a spell that allows her to sense the presence of magical effects within 30 feet of herself.
The Eladrin Huntress, if she actually senses something, then focuses her magical senses to see a faint aura around any visible creature or object in the area that bears the magic (and if an effect was created by a spell, she learns the spell's school of magic).
No magical presences
