Are we in the previous marching order as a group or is this just Talien and I? You said it was very cold in here and there are tendrils of cold air are rising. Is it a stop and start pattern, like breath on a cold day?

Everything you saw thus far was from the doorway. I'd assume (Talien is next to you) and everyone else is behind you in their previous marching order. You haven't entered the room yet. From where you're standing the tendrils of cold air does seem rhythmic, but you can't be sure. You can enter the room and make a perception check if you'd like.
Edit: Anyone can enter if they want to push up past the rest of the group. You can make a perception, or investigation check once inside.
Sure. I'll see what I can see regarding the [maybe] breathing. I'll also see if I notice a chest with a lock that might fit the key.

Nice roll!
You step a few paces forward to get a better look and wait a full minute trying to discern whether or not there is a pattern to the tendrils of cold air rising from behind the table.
1..2..3... seconds go by and a tendril rises. It dissipates after a few seconds and is replaced by another tendril just a heartbeat laster. This happens two more times and it convinces you there is a semblance of a pattern there... like someone, or something is breathing behind the table.
When you stop counting breaths and look around the rest of the room again you notice a large iron banded wooden chest on the far side resting against the western wall. It does appear to have a small keyhole midway up the chest.
"Fine, I'll do it," Rees says, following into the room and making a show of checking the floor, ceiling, trophies, etc for traps, tripwires, bombs, or anything shiny.

This is what I get for being a snarky lil shit LOL Perception: 22
edit: oh dang!
As you walk into the room and look around for traps you glance at the wall behind the table. The frost there is thicker than other areas of the room and has a sheen to it. While not exactly a mirror the think layer of ice reflects the blurry shape of the creature behind the table. Your not totally sure what you are looking at, but it appears to be a medium sized, white, lizard-like creature curled up into a ball. You catch your breath for a moment at the sight, stop searching, and listen. You hear what sounds like the heavy rise and fall of a very large sleeping cat.
This post has potentially manipulated dice roll results.
Still rubbing her eye, Arxius will move into the room and take a look around. She'll begin investigating (3) but then when Alten gets defensive she will draw her bow again and focus on the table, inching closer to it.

In addition to the shape in the reflection you see what looks like a pile of gold, jewels, and silverware behind the overturned table. You also see scratches in the floor that look like they were made by a pair of long sharp claws and find a few white scales near the chain in the center of the room. The scales are similar to those the party found in the cage where you picked up the distraught Meepo a day, or so prior.
If she sees the pile of gold and jewels before she notes the other things she'll just casually pocket what she can. Otherwise all focus is on what's behind the table.
"Oh no," Arxius mutters to herself. She slings her bow back over her shoulder and gets down into a crouching position, moving carefully around the table. Determined to get to the dragon before Alten does. She's going to move slowly and try her best to appear non-threatening.

The jewels are behind the table.. you saw them in the reflection on the frost covered ice wall behind the table. The creature is sleeping next to the pile of the stuff.
Make a stealth check please as you approach the table.
In looking at the map, there are the 4 rectangles in this room at the ordinlal points. You said the one to the west is the chest? And the one to the north is the table where the breathing is coming from?
I assume Arxius is coming up from the east side. Seeing her stow the bow, Alten relaxes a a bit.
What is it Arxius?

Now that Rees is free of the net, she'd like to follow Alten to the trophy room. "Be sure to watch out for traps."

"Check for traps!" Rees hisses after him.

Alten motions for a couple of others to come into the room, raises his crossbow, and calls out to it
Come on out from behind there. You're surrounded.

No response. The tendrils continue to rise in the same pattern as before.

Oh if it's next to the creature she's not going to touch them then.

Talien will draw his sword, but not move into the room at this point.
We do not see Meepo's lost treasure yet at this point?
If Rees or Arxius say there is a creature back there, Talien will ask what kind (He has a plan XD)
