Leto stays to ponder with Honor and the others, saying, "If the gods couldn't handle us, and banished us here, do you think it was also them that sent our items? It seems that a banishment would mean they wouldn't want us to regain our former strength... yet here we are..."
You can head back to the lightning room if you want to try to get some coins. As the coins are scattered across the floor, it would mean picking a couple up at a time with a magehand or something like that. It would take time to gather them all, likely an hour or so.
This post has potentially manipulated dice roll results.
Ymephis Stays near Naivara's side, watching her mistress's back. She looks off in the direction she believes Kierro and Nadariel went with their teleportation. "Do you think it was wise for them to go off like that?" She asks, looking to Naivara. "I mean, this place has not been exactly without dangers..."
Iveodaenth Adjusts the gauzy gown she wears, looking off at just a slightly different angle from the Song dragon. She likely has a much better idea of where her own master teleported to. She remains silent, her white hair swirling in a soft wind of her own making.
Yrsaintinth Stands near the center of the forge chamber, looking more like a statue than anythign else. He doesn't move unless Leto requests something of him.
Fraty The Chaos dragon moves to the room with the lightning and, standing in the entrance, changes into ehr dragon form. She then starts breathing blasts of power into the chamber... 3, 5, 5, 2, 3 She continues breathing until a blast of lightning ripples out from her across the chamber. Then she transforms back into her human form and skips into the chamber and starts collecting coins. she is now immune to the lightning...
Chysen Stands near the Cloud dragon, looking worried, especially when the Song dragon mentioned her concern about the two dragonlords going off by themselves. "If they run into trouble I am certain they will simply teleport back." he says to no one in particular.
Emmy Claps her hands as she watches the Chaos skipping around the room with the lightning. She shifts into her own dragon form and zips around the chamber in flight, landing here and there to use her tail to sweep large portions of the coins into piles. She clearly is enjoying herself, making a game out of not getting hit by the lightning blasts from the pillar.
Morgan "I don't know much about what you guys were like in this old world of yours, but it doesn't seem likely that those who sent you away would give you the means to regain power." Morgan says with a frown around at the group. He stands near Leto, leaning his back against a wall as they wait for Kierro to return. "Seems more likely that your own power is calling to itself, and returning to you, in whatever manner it can." He shrugs. "I am not a sage or wizard by any means, but maybe these items are the closest that can contain the power that is returning to you..."
Higgul "Why would the gods turn against you?" Higgul asks, glancing to Honor. "I mean, there doesn't seem anything evil in what you have done here... Were you different in this old world?"
Kyrian ponders what the group has said for a little while "Why not simply kill us? Why send us here? It seems counter-productive seeing as we are now all together. If they did commit some heinous wrong against us, we can now unite to wreak vengeance. And currently we are currently re-gaining our power, if they wanted us gone, they have had ample opportunity while we are weak. No, there must be some alternate motive, I just wish I could gain the foresight to see what. What's our plan? I would rather keep moving"
Seeing the antics of the two dragons, Kyrian smiles (A rare sight from the normally somber dragonlord).
Leto nods at what Morgan and Kyrian say, adding, “If the items here are able to contain our power, and the gods from our old realm didn’t intend it, it’s only further proof that the…” he pauses for a second, flexing his hand as he feels a burning sensation grow up the tattoo, “er…most, gods are not all powerful.”He then grins to himself and says, “yes, onward. It is time to collect what is ours to see what we can learn.”
Nadariel and Kierro reappear exactly where they disappeared from five seconds earlier. Nadariel is holding a banner made from thick red material in his hand. He passes it over to Kierro. “I hate constructs. They got no appreciation for beauty and art...”
Kierro takes a breath as the two teleport back. "That... that was reckless, for sure. One of them likely would've killed us, let alone the four." He glances over to Nadariel, giving a nod and a smile. "I have you to thank for getting us out of there alive, my friend."
He awakens, a moment later, shivering again and in a cold sweat. He braces against a wall to get back on his feet, taking a deep breath before looking to the other dragonlords.
"The gods of our world... when we became stronger, many of them called for our destruction... the destruction of all of us, even those who had kept to themselves, done nothing wrong, even tried to make the world better. Some of them petitioned on our behalf, and I did what I could to argue our own case against this destruction, but..." Kierro pauses, his voice shaking.
"...they showed what other dragon lords had done. Acts of evil. Some killed. Tortured. Massacred thousands... those deities who argued for us were silenced, and the attacks against us continued... some of our number, those who were harmless or entirely pacifistic in nature... they killed them."
"...the prime deities of our world stopped their aid to us. Pelor... he left me as well. He said I was strong enough to stand alone, without him. He said to be who I wished to be, stand for those I wished to."
A tear or two falls from him. "Those were his final words to me."
Kyrian stands still for a moment, speechless. His gaze is restless, flitting around the room, never staying in one place. Eventually it lands on Kierro.
"I am sorry for your loss. No, all of our loss. I swear to the Go- actually no, screw them. I swear to you that I wont let what happened then ever happen again."
He opens his mouth as if to continue but stops and shuts it again. He stands awkwardly, obviously not used to this kind of situation.
Which way do you go from here? There are two paths going East, one in the NE corner and one in the SE corner. We have also determined that it is within dimension door range, so do you wish to try that route as an option as well? Being able to spam dimension door, would allow you to simply bounce back and forth, getting the entire group there in several castings, though I would say the constructs in the last area you tried that to would likely have taken out the two of you alone.. They were fairly high in the CR ranking of the creatures in this dungeon.
You travel through the SE tunnel that you took here. Eventually you get back to the room with the flame warriours you slew with the cloud dragon's breath attack. In the SE corner of that chamber is the door Naivara checked out earlier, and saw was an actual door that went somewhere. She also noticed the secret door to the South in that same corner, but the door to the South does not seem to be able to be opened from this side. You instead continue East.
The tunnel turns south after only a short distance, then turns West, then turns North. You find yourself entering the chamber you just left, through the secret door that would not open previously.
Moving back to the tunnel you previously took when you first came to this chamber, you continue East further...
continuing East, you come back to the tunnel that goes North and South. North is where you cast Hypnotic Patern on a group of Salamanders. South is unexplored. You turn to the South. After about 60 feet of travel you come to a place where several of you notice a secret door to the East, while the main tunnel continues to the South. 30 feet further South the tunnel has a T intersection, going East and West.
(Yep, waiting on Kierro mostly to let us know if the two of them go or if he has a different plan.)
(The two of them go, yep)
As the two disappear, what do the rest of you do?
How much coin can we gather without getting zapped?

Nadariel and Kierro reappear exactly where they disappeared from five seconds earlier. Nadariel is holding a banner made from thick red material in his hand. He passes it over to Kierro. “I hate constructs. They got no appreciation for beauty and art...”

You travel through the SE tunnel that you took here. Eventually you get back to the room with the flame warriours you slew with the cloud dragon's breath attack. In the SE corner of that chamber is the door Naivara checked out earlier, and saw was an actual door that went somewhere. She also noticed the secret door to the South in that same corner, but the door to the South does not seem to be able to be opened from this side. You instead continue East.
The tunnel turns south after only a short distance, then turns West, then turns North. You find yourself entering the chamber you just left, through the secret door that would not open previously.

What do you do?
Kierro and Chysen peer down the east hallway, checking for traps along the way as he leads the group. Perception: 33
