“By the way Chill. I found this with the leader.” Kazri gives Chill the ornament. “Perhaps, you may have some insight on what it could be.”
(Kazri is ready to go up when everyone is ready. If the dragon is up there, she will face it head on. Hopefully take its attention.”)

Continuing up the stairs you find yourself in a large room (H19). Ice covers the walls and floor while the ceiling is covered with jagged ice hanging from it. It is considerably colder in this room and outside you can hear the cold wind howling. Frozen rain can be seen falling outside if you look through the arrow slits. The floor becomes slippery but if you move slowly you keep yourself from falling. (difficult terrain so half movement.)
Smashed doors indicate that at some point the dragon came through here. It may even lair in here at times.
The half eaten remains of a large orc chief lay in the corner frozen in place. A hand still clutches a large greatsword. Unlike the other weapons found in the keep that were rusted and pitted this one still gleams with a sharp edge. The room is decorated with the spoils of war, including impressive-looking furniture that is mostly destroyed. Also heaped about the room are furs, antlers, the rotting heads of dwarves, humans, and orcs mostly, as well as other trophies an orc chief might collect. Everything is covered in ice and frozen in place.
"Lass, let me check that ornament just to be sure if it is a magical item or not." Krom, touching the ornament, chants an hymn of divination (Identify). After ten minutes the dwarf handles the ornament back to Chill and informs him of the result of the spell.
As Rekuberk suggests to stay back during the fight Krom says "Do not worry lad, I will keep the concentration and if I get the chance, I will smash the dragon with my warhammer."
The dwarf says then to the group "In order to provide the beast few targets, I suggest that we fan out as much as possible."
(Krom is ready to go upstairs. As we climb the stairs Rekuberk is already under the Protection from Energy [Cold damage] )
Seeing the sword, Rekuberk will go over to look it over, seeing if it would be worth taking. "Once you finish with the charm could you do the same to this sword of possible. I believe it may be more then it appears."
"So this was the orc chief room, before that the Dragon decided to take the keep. It is even colder than outside..." says Krom as the group enters the room. As soon as the dwarf notices the sword he will say to Rekuberk "Look at that sword lad! It seems a well made sword, maybe with some enchantments on it since it does not have any rust on it."
"Let me check it for you." Krom, touches the sword while chanting an hymn of divination (Identify).
If no one had collected it, Chip would have grabbed the rusted breastplate before continuing with his companions. "Do ya think your mending spell would work to fix up this armor?" The dragonborn would ask as he holds out the armor towards Krom. Steam would billow from his nostrils as the dragonborn seemed completely oblivious to the cold temperatures surrounding them. After determining if the armor could be salvaged, the dragonborn would draw his longsword and his pan flute.. keeping and eye out for anything of value hidden amung the destroyed spoils of war...

"Science is organized knowledge. Wisdom is organized life."
"I am sorry Chip, I can repair that armor, but the rust will make it useless. It will break at the first impact." replies Krom. "After eliminating the Dragon, I may have time to re-start the forge in Axeholm. I will craft you an amazing breastplate in no time. If we are able to harvest some scales, claws and teeth from the Dragon I may even be able to craft some true masterpieces." says a smiling Krom already thinking about the design of such weapons and armors.
Krom takes the time to identify the two items found. The small cat's head is a Stone of Good Luck (added to Chill's sheet).
The sword is a fine piece of workmanship and is a Flame Tongue Greatsword (added to Rekuburk's sheet)
Rekuburk:
You may choose a command word of your own. I had a bit of fun using Google translate and came up with Vlam (Dutch for Flame) or K'aaba' (Yucatec Maya for flame) but you can create your own if you wish.
As if the small stone was destined to be for Chill he feels the power of the item as he takes it his his hands and examines it after Krom lets him know what it is. The black agate stone matches his perfectly.
The sword also fits Rekuburk's hands nicely as he lifts it up and gives it a few test swings, the command word for the blade echoes in his mind as he knows precisely how to activate its power.
Kazri, meanwhile, is looking out the eastern arrow slits and at first the blowing snow and wind and occasional rain makes it hard to see, but eventually she makes out the shape of the dragon curled up out in the open top of the roof. It looks to be sleeping, the howling wind covering up your sounds within the room.
The rooftop is enclosed by a 3-foot-high battlement, except in the corners where the wall has collapsed. Cylindrical stone chimneys jut 5 feet above the rooftop but are too narrow for even Small characters to squeeze through.
So I need to know what Aid spells or extra HP is set for each of you so I have HP correct. Right now I only show Krom down 6 hp (unless he healed somewhere and I missed it.) And Rhogar has a morning routine but I forgot what HP gain it gets him.
"That sword will serve you well lad." says Krom as he hands back the greatsword to Rekuberk.
As Kazri informs the group that the Dragon is sleeping on the roof, Krom chants an hymn of abjuration (Aid) in order to bolster the whole group with toughness and resolve.
(@DM Krom spent 1 hit dice during the short rest healing for 11 hp so he is at 51 hp now. Aid casted at 3rd level two times in order to grant 10 hp to each of us.)

Chill fingers the small stone, feeling the luck it provides him. It fits the palm of his hand perfectly.
"Thank you, this is amazing." He says to the others for allowing him to have it.
When the dragon is seen,
"So, it will likely take flight if we attack it. Can we sneak up on it if it is sleeping? What is the overall plan? I'll try to use the arrow slits as cover to fire from. Melee isn't my thing. But we need to keep the dragon on the ground to use swords on it."
He continues to hold the small stone until it is time to put it away and his hands are needed to work his crossbow.
"Hey Chip, do you think you could come up with a tune that could keep the dragon from flying?"
Kazri goes to the door. "Gentlemen, I am ready to serve as Dragon Bait. I am ready when everyone is. May Helm protect us."

(@DM: No HP changes, apart from Aid on Rhogar. But his morning routine does leave him with Lizard HideTM and a spare 1st level spellslot.)
Rhogar finishes his leafing through the journal, and hands it back to Chill, if he so wants it. Otherwise, a yet curious to learn more Bronze packs it away among his own things. "I too can TRY to seal its ability to fly, or at least make that my primary focus at the start. To that end, I will need join others on rooftop beyond for unhindered vision."He admits quietly, before turning and halfheartedly glare in the direction of the stares.
Realizing the ghost was up, Rhogar peeked her helmeted head over the final lip, ending her attempt at subterfuge. "Hmph. While that is a good point, I will not allow it."He spoke allowed incidentally, earning a raspberry in return from the pseudodragon. "In any event, stay there at least." He adds, then regards the others. "Sorry about that... ahem... While Chill here has his bow trained upon it. The rest of us should try to... at least sneak out there and spread as much as we can before it takes notice. With the ground being the way it is, it will be difficult as is to get close."
"But this way, in the event we do disturb its rest, he at least may yet get off the one shoot." He expresses, and assuming most can agree to at least that point, he shores up his defenses in gathering frost to his clothing and calling upon the wisdom of Vixix.
(@DM: Cast 2nd level Vixix' Hide and Vixix's Wisdom on self as prep. He's also been trying to keep quiet throughout that spiel in case the winds aren't enough to smother out noise. His starting position, assuming he can get as far, is to be just below the southern most arrow slit overlooking the roof.)
(Vlam works for me. I was just going to say it was something in orcish due tongue chief being the last owner.
"Vlam!" Rekuberk says as he holds aloft the new sword, letting it burst into flames as he smirks at the though of using the weapon on the dragon. He will mutter the word again to put the sword out before he carefully sets his old greatsword to the side so he can collect it on his way out. "I feel my blood boiling with excitement..."
