"Meepo want make sure nothing lost here." Meepo says, eyeing the three rooms. He would move to the one with the mural in it, mostly as it has a dragon. If told about the wand in the mural, he would bring a skeleton out of his portable hole, and, keeping everyone else out of the room with him, send the skeleton in alone to try and remove the wand. "Meepo worry trap..." he explains, as why else have a wand just sitting there like that.
Ulthan stays closer to entrance to this place so he can be hidden and be able to peer up to see what else is coming. "hrmpfh dig grave dey know not hrmpfh" he tells the cat as they wait.
Everyone clears back to the table room. The portable hole is opened. A skeleton clambers forth and heads into the mural room. The hole is left open just in case. Three zombies also stand nearby, slowly wavering back and forth, mouths open, as they await their next orders. Ulthan is way back out by the entrance, having climbed through the small hole of the cave in. Ketch, standing near to the zombies sniffs a bit, then sniffs his armpit then leans towards the zombies and sniffs. He then shrugs. Lionel and Mordekai stand back, ready for anything.
The skeleton walks up to the wand on the wall and attempts to pull it free.

A blast of blue lightning roils into the bones of the skeleton, filling it with bright white light momentarily. And then the skeleton explodes, sending bits of bones scattering across the floor and walls of the room. A bit of smoke wafts from the spot, a scorched burn mark on the floor where it was standing. The tang of ozone fills everyone's nose.
Laffa cowers around a corner and mostly to himself says, "Why am I hereeee??!!"
The mage hand plucks the steel wand from the fresco with a click. Nothing else untowards happens and eventually Meepo is able to float it over to himself. When doing so though, he realizes that the wand is not magical, and has a ridge line along it with indents, not unlike a long key. He also notices that the dragon in the fresco is clutching a chest (the picture of a chest anyway). The keyhole in the chest appears to be an actual keyhole that appears shaped like wand key.

With a frown Meepo sighs and, using the mage hand, tries to insert the key into the key hole. "Meepo no sure what do, be ready..." He says to the others. "Maybe open treasure box..."

Mordekai initiative: 11
Mordekai whispers to Quinn, "Is this dragon a lie?"
Mordekai bows deeply to the dragon, in case it is real and not illusory, and whilst still bowed, says loudly "Great dragon, we mean no intrusion. We simply seek an answer to a most puzzling tale. I beg your assistance, if you are in a gracious mood?"
Mordekai doesn't really know what he hopes to achieve with this, whether the dragon is real or Illusion, whether it speaks common or not, but he figures diplomacy is at least worth a try.
(Is Mordekai still benefiting from See Invisibility, by the way? He didn't see the dragon already in the room?)
"Let it pass!" Meepo calls. "It only wishes to leave." He says this in common. To the dragon he speaks. "We will not bar your path ancient one." Meepo bows to the dragon. "Might you favor us with some information on this place prior to your leaving though? We are here to cure me of something called the Scrivener’s Mark. We seek one called the Princess of the Shadow Glass... She wishes us to serve her, but I believe that to be a bad choice and would value your knowledge ancient one...."
Ulthan has never really seen a paladin or even understood them, but right now he's glad he's not one. He'll move to the side and hide waving the cat as well. No point in being a last second snack. That said, with shortsword in hand he will try to be as unpalatable as possible.
Lionel understood the dragon well enough and was equally good at judging the group's chances against the beast. The thought of the dragon being the first one running into Queen's army might also cross his mind. Anyway, he saw no reason to hinder the dragon's escape and stepped aside allowing the creature to pass.
The massive beast clambers past the group, and hits the cave in and begins digging like an oversized dog. Chunks of stone and dirt spray around the room, slamming against walls and tables and the ground. A few moments later the dragon slithers past Ulthan and then leaps into the sky from the shaft. A moment later it’s once again quiet down here. Dirt and stone lay scattered about the table room now. The tea set got clipped and broken porcelain bits also decorate the floor.

Lionel watched the show with mixed expression: the way an ancient powerful creature dug itself out of the script was even cute in a way, but mostly hilarious. He had to summon all his willpower not to laugh or to tag the dragon's tail. The dragon would look incredible with some tin cans bound to it!
Once the creature was gone, he allowed himself a smile and then looked again towards the room with the spheres and the steel-banded stone door. "Ready to open it now? Have to admit, I'd prefer one of your skeletons to do so, but if not... Take cover because I will do it."
If Meepo was not ready to sacrifice another skeleton, Lionel would try to reach and open the door.
"Meepo still want look more." Meepo says with a shake of his head. He moves into the mural chamber and, casting detect magic himself, tries to see if there is anything that letting the dragon loose has changed.

"Just a bait then. A fake attraction for the greedy." Lionel was expecting something like this. "Do you think the door is trapped too?"

"Maybe..." Meepo says, thoughtful. He casts mage hand and tries to take the wand with that instead.
The mage hand plucks the steel wand from the fresco with a click. Nothing else untowards happens and eventually Meepo is able to float it over to himself.

The rod slides into the wall with a click.
And a massive black dragon appears in the room.

At 22 Ulthan shakes his head.
The huge black dragon glances around, shaking itself and glances down at Mordekai.
Mordekai can no longer see invisible things, Quinn has "separated" from him, but his inquiry to Quinn is replied with, "No...not a lie."
The dragon speaks in guttural Draconic. Mordekai thinks maybe the Dragon didn't understand his words.
If you understand Draconic:
"Out of my way puny creatures. If you attempt to stop me, you will be destroyed!"
It turns, and glances at all of you, and then begins advancing towards the group aggressively (which also happens to be the only way out of the room).
Anyone can take an action.
