(Jinara- no memories are stirred from the visual of the chalice. From what you can tell it just appears to be an ornate holder for the crystal.)
(@everyone- I know we all probably have some vacation time coming up so I will do my best to keep up and continue the story as much as I can. I hope you all have a wonderful Christmas!)
As you sit and listen to Jinara's words the eeriness of the landing, hallways and recent events unsettles you. Your eyes glance from hallway to hallway as you try to glean some information from the dark corridors. Then as Jinara's spell begins to fade you see light creeping through the bottom of the large double door in the hallway to the right. You feel the temperature of the previously cool landing rise to warm. The sound of the deep breathing intensifies and becomes more rapid and powerful. With each breath you feel a sudden rush of heat from beyond the door and see the metal binding of the door begin to glow red hot.
Jinara- With only a few seconds left of your spell you see the crystal begin to pulse brighter with energy. The dark red crystal begins to glow brightly and you watch the crystal and golden goblet seemingly melting into a molten figure of a small red and black dragon. The last image you see is the form rapidly growing in size while tendrils of dark shadow seem to stretch out from the dark red scales.
(Yes. They will be on initiative count 16 should they be needed.)
Valeera: 3 Dragon: 20
You all watch as the wood of the large double doors ignite and begin to dissolve into shadow while the iron melts away into a puddle on the ground. The dark hollow chamber behind the now open hallway lies obscured by smoke. A tense few seconds pass as the smoke fades and the darkness from within the chamber seems to somehow grow darker spreading into the hallway. The air quivers with heat and in the deep recesses of the black chamber you begin to see glowing purplish red eyes, a large glowing hot maw and dark scales that cover the length of an intensely glowing body of dark red and purple. The dimly lit body glares and opens its maw revealing a large glowing mouth of shadowy flame.
Torq will rage and fly 60ft towards the dragon. Once he knew Mucor was safely out of range he'd point his axe and expend two charges to send a lightning bolt towards the dragon.
DC 15 Dex or take: 27 lightning damage, half on success.
Mucor and Torq both rush towards the dark dragon, entering into the shadows cast by the dragon's aura. Spores circle around Mucor clouding your vision of him even further while Torq flies further and leans in gripping his axe tightly. There's a brief pause as electrical arc gather along the edge of the axe before it unleashes a large bolt of lightning. The dragon quickly shifts, seemingly aided by the darkness around him, and dodges the brunt of the attack. Using a legendary action the dragon sends out tendrils of shadow towards Torq. The dragon laughs lowly and says, "So eager to meet your death like Saregos behind you. But there will be no glory found here... only pain." The dragon flies forward roughly 10 feet from Torq and releases a gout of purple shadowy fire. You see the glowing eyes and chest fade to black and hear the dragon flap its wings as it disappears into the darkness. At the bottom of the stairs Iris, Cedany and Kelgos wait patiently for orders.
Stealth: 10
Everyone except the twins make a DC 19 Wisdom save or become frightened of the dragon.
Torq-(You follow the sound of the movement and can tell the dragon is in the NW corner of the chamber.) Make a DC 19 Con save or take: 25 necrotic damage, half on success. Torq & Mucor- Make a DC 19 Dex save or take: 59 necrotic damage.
Aryn will charge into the room wielding her arc sword and the sun blade (bonus) figuring a dragon that breathes flame would probably be immune to fire.
(Moving 35 feet plus action to dash an additional 35 feet to be next to Torq on the left.)
Mucor feels no fear (Mucor is immune to fear thanks to spore body goodnees) as he rushes forward towards the enemy. He would quickly jump to the side as he attempts to dodge the necrotic attack. 16 The elf snorts and snarls as his skin withers under the assult from necrotic energy.
Gaelin was prepared for a dragon, maybe not a dragon that breathes purple fire but still a dragon. "Anyone have a visual on it?" he asks telepathically to the group. While he wasn't afraid, he still didn't want to walk into a trap so he would move closer but hold an Eldritch Blast in the event the dragon came back into sight and say to Torq, "Standing in the dark, with you axe slung low, we gotta fight a dragon, so come on let's go." and inspire him.
You can add a d10 to one save, check or attack roll.

Jinara hears these words and a relapse of his past life over takes him. His eyes glaze over a bit as fear takes over him. In this moment of panic, there are only 2 people he thinks of; His Lady Davara and Iris. He calls for Iris telepathic (only Iris) with obvious fear in his voice "Iris...I...I don't think I can do this. I...I need you. Bring everyone."
(For narrative's sake. Xtra if this is too much just that's fine) As Jinara finishes his mental statement, a warm sensation gently guides him towards Aryn. That warm sensation then channels through his body and exits out of his mouth as a ball of light hurls towards the center of the chamber. Jinara swears he hears the voice of his Lady "Breathe".
Jinara will use his celestial radiance to cast Daylight in the center of that room.

Dex: 11
The pain Torq takes sends a cold chill down his spine and he looks towards the dragon in the corner and questions whether or not he or the twins should be here.
(Also, Happy New Year everyone!)
(I forgot inspiration. It doesn't like it when I try to add it though.)

Gaelin will cast Cure Wounds at 2nd level on Alexandria healing her: 15
(Likewise! Merry Christmas all! I'll probably be MIA more on Christmas day than eve.)
(Merry Christmas!)
(Merry Christmas!!)
(Hope you all had a great Christmas.)
