Ithelion calls back to the dragon, "Agreed!" then turns to Meepo, speaking quiety, "If she wants to stay here after defeating the goblins, then we can discuss the details of her alliance with you...better that she works willingly with you, no?"
She then relays the conversation to her companions.
Daemyar looks to Krom and Garnet to help him as he goes to push open the door.
(a help action to whoever wants to roll a strength check?)
No need - it can be pushed open easily, just not by the mage hand. Daemyar, Krom, Garnet - if you push the door open you don't see Calcryx anywhere but you hear her breathing to the north. It is dark in the room. Looking at your feet, you will see a couple dead goblins. The one blocking the door is in a covering of ice, the other is partially eaten but also frozen. There is a door to the south. Calcryx growls menacingly if you get closer...
Ithelion watches Daemyar work on the door, then says quietly in common, "It may let us pass."
Raising her voice and speaking draconic she says, "You like the room, is that it? Well I am sure there are many good rooms here for you to choose from, once the way is clear. Meepo probably knows them all. No more smelly cage."
Back in common she says, "It may just want some freedom." she stares at Meelpo's whips and chains a moment before continuing. "Time for you to build an alliance, rather than train a slave, eh Meepo? Do you think you are up for that?"
Calcryx ignores Daemyar, she doesn't understand what he's said.
@ithelion - Calcryx just growls and shifts her body, "THIS is my room! MY treasure!" At the mention of Meepo, she growls even louder, "I'll kill that dog-faced goblin. I'll kill him!"
Meepo hears your words, Ithelion, and says, "Calcryx our dragon, Meepo dragon trainer, don't need a lance. No dragon, no trainer. What Meepo do then?" Meepo calls out to Calcryx, "What mean you dragon? Meepo thinks you like games!"
There is silence for a moment, then Calcryx answers with barely controlled rage, "Yes, games. Come in and we'll play games..."
Meepo looks at all of you. "You strong, you can grab her while I tie her up?" Meepo looks deflated. "Queen already not like Meepo, what if no dragon?"
Ithelion looks down at the kobold, "How long do you think you can control her with chains and whips? Another year? Maybe two?" she asks. "Now is the time for you to find a reason for her to want to stay with you..." she looks again at the whip, "...a reason other than fear."
In draconic she says to Calcryx, "Meepo is the reason we are here to help you. He was worried for your safety. We have no interest in your treasure..." Well, maybe a little...now I think about it. "...or, more accurately, we are not here to steal your treasure. We are here to help. So is Meepo. He does not understand you, but you can teach him. And he would be useful: With your help, he could rule the kobolds, and you could have any room you wanted, and a safe place for your treasure...and allies to find you more..."
She summarizes to he companions, "I am trying to convince her that Meepo could be useful and that we are not here to steal her treasure. She seems to like the room, and seems to want to kill Meepo."
"We could try to subdue her, but that is not a long-term solution: Meepo would still be dragon food one day. I am open to suggestions, however..."
"We are not looking for a long term solutions, We are here destroy the tree! Making allies is a means to an end. From what I know of white dragons, they are stupid but great hunters, evil and cunning. I doubt they can be trained or even allied with. With the kobolds she would at least be controlled for a time."
He turns back to Ithelion
"I guess she likes the room, it's near a great food source."
Ithelion closes her eyes and sighs, she bows her head then looks up and nods at Daemyar and Shere, and finally at Meepo. "You are, of course, correct. We must recapture her. Meepo and his kin have been true to their word, and we must be true to ours."
With that, she backs away from the door and a spectral hand appears, ready to open it further if necessary. Her bow ready in her left hand, she nods to the others. "Whenever you are ready, but the dragon handler must come last, we need him alive."
To Shere's message she replies "Thank you. Sometimes I fail to see immediate needs. Is there anything you can do to distract it? Prestidigitation only reaches a few feet and I have no desire to be frozen."
Garnet is just on gaurd at the moment she can't understand the dragon but she can tell it is agitated. When it is descided tjey are going to enter the dragons room she will be nearby.
This post has potentially manipulated dice roll results.
Krom and Daemyar toss a goblin corpse across the ice like a macabre bonspiel and it slides towards Calcryx......Shere begins to cast a spell! Calcryx glances his way, snarling and growling, as Shere finishes his spell. Light purple and pink dancing lights and colours begin to swirl around the room and beyond (20 foot cube), outlining almost all the items in the room, including the goblin carcasses, fur rugs, shelves, etc... Both Calcryx and Garnet are caught within and need to make dex saves!

Krom stands in the doorway looking around reading himself if anyone starts attacking.

Shere looks at the elf turn his back and messages
"We are not looking for a long term solutions, We are here destroy the tree! Making allies is a means to an end.

Krom goes and grabs one of the dead goblins and gets ready to curl it across the ice.
