Try as they might, none of the group can detect any sign of the last duergar. It is unclear whether it is still hiding somewhere in the cavern, or if it has escaped. There are numerous tracks leading both in and out, many of which look recent.

How does a red dragon blow out the candles on its birthday cake?
Pax takes a few moments to search each body. She checks their boots against her feet size, and any armor they might have that could be added to her scraps. After a thorough scavenging job she clambers up to the top with the others. Assuming the rest of the group is focused on the egg and portal stone, she begins ritually casting 'Alarm' once she reaches the top, to secure the area from any invisible interlopers.

The duergar are all wearing leather armor, and Pax manages to find a few pieces that supplement her piecemeal chain. The boots are a little large, but in better condition that her own. The only weapons to be found are the three small crossbows designed for single-hand aiming and firing. Two are identical and typical of good duergar workmanship, but the third is different from the other two and of exceptional quality. Pax also notices a small campsite at the back of the cavern near the base of the mesa where the duergar presumably rest. There are fifteen bedrolls there, along with a range of ordinary gear, including a few backpacks, and some food and waterskins.

"Useless,"called Sekkar, "do you sense any alive duergar around here? If so - where?" He did not hoped much for an answer, but who knows how do telepathic abilities of the creature worked. Or any of it's abilities, actually. Should by any miracle duergar be found - Sekkar will try to take care of him, but other than that, he also went to look at the egg.

Pax grabs one of the nicest, largest backpacks as well as a sleeping roll that is the cleanest. She uses a bit of magic to clean each of them thoroughly before transferring her stuff from the crap sack to a proper bag. She grabs the whole lot of hand crossbow bolts and the nicest hand crossbow. (does it feel magical, or just well made?) She grabs any food they might have as well.
Resupplied, she makes her way up to the top of the mesa with the rest of the group and starts looking around.
"If anyone wants a nice hand crossbow, or any other basic equipment, there's a bunch down there."

Kastix takes a look at the egg. Although he's never seen one, he thinks this fits the description of a dragon egg. Sekkar arrives soon after and confirms that it is indeed the egg of a red dragon. Meanwhile, Kaylyn crosses the small bridge to the other peak, with Zeno and Rhayna coming after. Pax also arrives, having brought the crossbows and giving one first to Sekkar and another to Zeno. As Kaylyn casts her spells, she notices that the crossbow Pax is holding is indeed enchanted.
The obelisk has an aura of conjuration, but there is something unusual about it how it responds to her spell that Kaylyn has never seen before. Rather than emitting the vibrations of magic and displaying an aura, it is almost as though it is drawing magic into it. Zeno can't recall anything historial or religious about it, and it seems even more alien than everything else in this wierd underground world.
Kaylyn/Zeno/Rhayna/Pax can all make an Arcana check if they desire.
Can I also please get a Perception roll for Pensive.
"Red Dragon....You think this is that dragon back in the city's egg?" Kastix questions rather out loud then to anyone in particular, "When we're done looking at that magic thing, we should probably grab the egg and hightail it out of here really,"

"Pensive, search the cave and see if you can find the missing duerger. Alert us if you find it.
Using his blindsight Pensive will begin flying back and forth looking for the duergar.

"A crossbow... Might as well get one." Sekkar picked up one a some bolts - inability to fire at range can be quite limiting in times.
