Shere moves to talk to Stabby as he moves he picks up the scimitar while looking at it he says in monotone, his yellow eyes reflecting the light "You are Sharpies now, protect her, follow her command and ours. Where is the dragon? Show us." he hands the weapon back to the goblin
@daemyar - your search the room thoroughly but only find putrid jerky, vinegary wine in flasks, and other little bits of worthless clutter - likely sentimental momentos to the dead goblins that stood guard here. Like Garnet, you notice several hammocks affixed to different points in the wall.
@shere - the goblin takes the scimitar back with shaky hands, clearly expecting a trick of some kind. Stabby points out to the hall. "T-the d-dragon is i-i-i-in in th-there! I n-not go there!" he says, backing up, looking from you to Sharpie and back, until it backs up against the wall.
Shere shrugs "No, no need to be afraid, we will handle it you and Sharpie hang out here and watch our backs. You help us Goblinville will live forever"
he walks to Ithelion
"You speak the language No? Tell me what to ask it and I'll try my best to relay with a message one of the questions should involve the fact we have Meepo"
Meepo pushes to through the crowd, sparing a glance into the room at the goblins, snarling at them. His gaze is drawn to the door to the west and he runs over to it, gasping. "Calcryx?! Oh, you're here! You're here! Don't worry, Meepo get you out! Oh, what they did to you?" he says lovingly to the door. Before any of you can stop him, Meepo tries to open the door. Thankfully, it's locked and remains shut.
Garnet and Shere, since you're outside the room where Stabby and Sharpie are, you hear from behind the door, a low rumbling growl and, if you understand Draconic (it's loud enough to be heard even in the other room),
"I'll kill you, you dumb dog! I hate you! I'm not going back! I just..need to get out...of this....cursed....jail!! And tell whoever you're with I don't speak mongrel."
There is a loud crash as the sound of something being thrown against the door can be heard. This is followed by a loud gasping sound, and Garnet, you see the floor under the door grow more icy and frosty. You hear scratching and more crashing but not anything hitting the door.
Meepo laughs. "She funny! She call me dog but she know we like smaller dragon people! I tell you, she funny!"
You look at Meepo, who has leaned his spear up against the wall and is taking out his whip and readying his chains. You again notice the countless scars and areas of skin that look burned, including the one that seems relatively recent: three jagged, ugly, glaring red strips down the side of his leg.
Ithelion takes a few steps toward the door, and speaks quietly to Shere, "I don't think it likes being imprisoned. By anyone; it threatened to kill Meepo. I will suggest an alliance...unless you have an alternative?"
She gives her companions a moment to stop her before speaking more loudly in draconic, "Meepo led us to you -- to free you -- and we have no quarrel with you. We may be your only chance of escape, should you choose to ally with us..."
She looks distastefully down at the corpses Daemyar has gathere, winces, then continues, "We also have dead goblins...should they be to your taste."
Speaking in common quietly she turns to Daemyar, "Good thinking...I mentioned the dead goblins."
Shere looks at the door thankful it was locked at this point he thinks that sleeping dogs should of been left alone
"What did it say?"
Arcana on White Dragons 19
Meepo waves a hand in your direction, "Oh, she call you 'mongrel'. She don't know what you say to her, she speak only dragon speak." Meepo looks sharply at Ithelion, "Escape? What you saying?! She our dragon! We have to take her back home!" Meepo looks disdainfully at the dead goblins on the floor. "She not eat those, you know. They dead, she like to have them alive....like them," points to Stabby and Sharpie and Erky, "so she can freeze 'em and then she eat them!" Meepo grins at the goblins and gnome....
Shere, you and Garnet know about the same about white dragons - which isn't much. You know from stories and legends that they tend to be the wildest of dragons and excellent hunters. This one, you gather from the others, is still young - perhaps 5 years, more or less - and judging from what you know about other sentient beings of that age, likely impetuous and stubborn. That combination, in the body of even a small dragon, is a bit concerning to you.
She gives her companions a moment to stop her before speaking more loudly in draconic, "Meepo led us to you -- to free you -- and we have no quarrel with you. We may be your only chance of escape, should you choose to ally with us..."
She looks distastefully down at the corpses Daemyar has gathere, winces, then continues, "We also have dead goblins...should they be to your taste."
There is silence and then a rumbling voice answers you: "Dead goblins?!?! What good are they? I prefer my food alive...alive like you. Eventually, I'll dig a hole out of this rotten prison and then kill everything in here!" At the mention of allying with you, Calcryx laughs. "Ally? With you? With that dog-faced rat?! Maybe you send him in to me. I'm not going back to those smelling dogs - these putrid goblins are only a little better....because I don't have to talk to them!" With that you hear more scraping and thumping, as if something is hitting against the blocks of the wall in the next room. You hear what could only be a block of the wall fall down to the floor and vibrate to where you stand. The sound of falling dirt and debris, like a gentle wave, hits your ears... "Finally!" Calcryx screams...
Ithelion does her best to translate the words of the dragon as accurately as she can to her companions. At the end she says, "Either she's escaping, or the roof fell on her."
Krom, you - and anyone else who listens - can easily ascertain that the wyrmling did not escape (yet). Rather, she seems to have been able (maybe) to pull a block loose from the wall. Garnet and Shere, you also remember that some dragons can burrow through the ground and fly and swim, and have different breath sprays based on their colour.
Meepo looks at all of you, worry clearly in his face, and begins to fiddle with the lock....”No, no, no!”
[just in case, can you let me know where you all wish to be standing? I can sort of piece together based on above but want to be sure. Again, IN CASE].
Do we have any sense of where the noise is coming from: North or South (or east!) of dragon room. If East, then Ithelion would have headed back to Elosa when the rocks crumbled! Otherwise, Ithelion is likely standing near G8 on the previous combat map -- she was probably curious about that room, and would have been wary of approaching the angry dragon.
Elosa remains at J10, watching the door to Goblinville.
If I can Shere puts away his rapier grabs Meepo and his spear and hauls with amazing speed with feline agility to the other room joining the others
"Calling you dog is disdain for you, she hates you little dragon she will make you food by freezing you. She plans to eat everyone."
(Feline Agility Your reflexes and agility allow you to move with a burst of speed. When you move on your turn in combat, you can double your speed until the end of the turn. Once you use this trait, you can’t use it again until you move 0 feet on one of your turns.)
Sharpie is with Stabby, and both are in the guardroom (where Stabby retreated and surrendered). Erky is at the far end of the hallway, away from the dragon room.
Daemyar was watching the dragon room door. Garnet still near the door to the guardroom. Krom not far off inside the guardroom. Ithelion if I understand correctly, you’re inside the room as well.
Is your intention for ALL to be in guardroom? The door to the dragon room opens outwards.
Ithelion - you’re not sure where exactly the sound comes from within the room but certainly it feels like it’s roughly parallel to you all.
(( No, not everyone in corridor. I/Ithelion thought Sharpie, and until recently Meepo, and certainly Elosa, and possibly Erky were watching the goblinville door. If no other characters ro allies are watching Goblinville, then Ithelion would have moved to J10 with Elosa ))
Shere moves to talk to Stabby as he moves he picks up the scimitar while looking at it he says in monotone, his yellow eyes reflecting the light "You are Sharpies now, protect her, follow her command and ours. Where is the dragon? Show us." he hands the weapon back to the goblin

Ithelion looks back into the room from the doorway, "Who else is with the dragon?"
Daemyar cuts down a couple hammocks and wraps dead goblins in them.
“The dragon might be hungry. Let’s give it something that isn’t us.” He begins to drag the bodies down the hall towards the door.

he messages "Do you speak common? We've come to help you and have no desire to hurt you. We do have your friend Meepo with us."

Daemyar begins backing away from the door, and tries to hide the whip Meepo gave him as best he can, readying his crossbow.
