Arthur : stay here Yevis, hopefully this goes well. * Arthur goes to the rear hatch, opens it steps out enough to be seen * " Hail & well met friend, I am Lord Arthur Darkeyes the 3rd. What may I call you majestic one?"
Ok, I'd like to do this where no word Arthur said is changed but I don't want to possibly flood the apparatus . Arthur despite having mixed emotions of awe, fear , & happiness is exposing himself so the dragon sees that his hands hold no weapon and hopefully the dragon sees no ill intent is about to happen
The dragon circles around from back to the front, and comes out of the water onto the front of the Apparatus. The whole machine tilts forward, Dexterity save to keep you both from piling up on the front window as the dragon's weight lifts the tail of the machine out of the water.
The dragon shouts "Hey, you can't flee if you sink!"
I've gotta learn the proper way of doing some of this anyhow.
The Dragon also moves up and 40 feet closer (40 feet away now)
We are planning to surface above water, then Arthur will try negotiating from there if possible .
As you get to the surface, the dragon reaches you and begins circling. And roaring "It's mine!"

There is no handle for the rear hatch. Just in case it was missed, it is a rear hatch and not a top hatch.
Lever #10 has a label that says rear hatch.

Arthur asks yevis to open the hatch , yevis does so
As the hatch slowly opens up, water immediately starts pouring in. Yevis gives Arthur a questioning look, his eyes look twice as big as normal!
Ooc - Iris style hatch, open about the size of a basketball now.
Close the hatch , let's try the side things
Do the shutters open by a gear , & hopefully no water pours in through those ?
Shutters cover windows.
Even though water pours in, it does not sink!
Ooc - I just saw where it says it floats.
Also dragon's turn!
That's a bit more relieving . Does the previous move of greeting the dragon still happen?

21 Arthur's dex save
21 Yevis's dex save
Arthur is laid back on the front window,
Looking past Yevis holding on to the console with a worried look on his face,
At a dragon's glowing green eyes peering through the rear hatch,
Of the Apparatus doing a headstand in the water.
Ooof.... Yevis you'll have to open the hatch again so I can talk the our friend having fun at our expense
