Area 50. Ashardalon’s Shrine

Dragon-carved granite blocks line this chamber’s walls and ceiling, though many are crumbled and broken, leaving stony debris on the floor. A huge marble statue of a rearing red dragon stands in the curve of the western wall. The eye sockets of the dragon are empty, but a red glow lingers there, providing reddish light throughout the chamber. The radiance casts an inky shadow behind the statue’s wide wings. A five-foot-diameter, circular tile of dark stone is set in the floor in front of the dragon statue. Runes are carved around the circular tile’s inner edge.

Points of Interest:

• The stone tile (no role required, just need to say who wants to examine it).
• Perception: DC 15

 

Shake looks greedily at the statue for a moment, until deciding there is nothing he could take from it that would be worth anything. Then he will examine the tile.

Perception = 19

There's runes carved into the tile, but your not sure what language they're in. However, as you start at the statue you notice a loose stone in the wall behind it...

DM Note: Assuming Rees opens the next wooden door...

51. Dragon Library

Leaning and fallen stone bookshelves fill this chamber, though a clear path connects wooden doors on opposite walls. Torn and burnt pages, bindings, and scrolls form disordered piles in the corners...

Points of Interest:

• DC 15 perception, or investigation check

 
Grom will move into the library
"BOOKS, someone of these are ancient!"

Investigation: 19

 

Nice! 

Rooting around in the wreckage of what was once probably a beautiful library leads you to uncover a spell scroll of scorching ray, a spell scroll of Melf’s acid arrow, and a tome bound in what looks like leathery dragon scale. The text inside is crimson and appears much like the runes you have been finding throughout the citadel...

  Grom will very excitingly put those all into his pack.  Also just for flavor and RP would grom have found any history books or books on general arcane knowledge?

Grom will take 10 min and do a ritual detect magic and walk between this room , and then back to the shrine room and see if anything pings his attention?

 

Most of the books appear damaged, but you do find a book called "How To Hatch a Dragon". Nothing magical emits from the library, but when you step back into the room with the statue you find the tile and statue give off an aura of transmutation...

Quote from Sorvas33 >>

Talien looks around for any weapons casually along with threats.

 Nothing threatening makes itself known to you. You don't find any weapons unfortunately, these appear to be a room just for scholars.

Talien will move over to Meepo and say. What does the statue say?

Quote from Sorvas33 >>

Talien will move over to Meepo and say. What does the statue say?

Meepo happily chirps, "Let the sorcerous power illuminate my spirit!”

As soon as Meepo speaks the last word of this sentence aloud, spectral flame shoots out of the dragons mouth enveloping those standing in front of the statue (Alten, Talien, and Meepo - correct me if I'm wrong).

The flame dissipates after only a few seconds and leaves you feeling rather refreshed -- perhaps even jovial and upbeat.

You now have advantage on Charisma checks for 24 hours.

Shake runs over to the stone behind the statue and quickly takes it out hoping for treasure behind it.

 Oh SHI. . . Everyone OK? Hmm, actually, that didn't seem to hurt.

Dragons must be weak if this was an attack. 

Don’t think that was an attack, Talien.

Grom, you ready to move on? How about you, Rees &Shake?

Shake continues to work at the loose stone. "I'm almost ready here. Just give me one more moment."

You move the stone away to reveal a small leather pouch and two flasks containing a grey sticky substance. The pouch contains 34 gold pieces.

"Woo hoo" Shake celebrates quitely to himself while he greedily pockets the pouch. Then he will examine the substance to see if he can identify it.

 Make an intelligence, or arcana check — your choice.

"I'm ready. Want me to go on to the next room while Shake finishes...whatever he's doing? What are you doing, Shake?" 

Since Rees has drawn Alten's attention to Shake, he'll go over to where Shake is, Glaive, loosely in front in a semi-ready position

Find anything interesting Shake?

Shake Int (or Arcana, both -1) = 11

The grey substance smells like rotten eggs (sulfurous) and is sticky to the touch, but you're not quite sure what it is, nor what it does.

"Ugh," Shake says as he get a whiff of the smelly grey stuff. Then, to the rest of the party, "I found this grey smelly stuff. Seems pretty gross, and definitely not treasure, but maybe one of you could use it?" He shows his new companions the grey stuff.

Talien will take some and taste it. (Please DND God's don't kill poor Talien)

Haha XD 

The substance is very gritty and your taste receptors register sulfur.

Make an intelligence check please.
