"Is that so, Meepo?" Yusdrayl asks. Meepo nods his head sheepishly. Yusdrayl lets out a deep sigh, closing her eyes for a moment and taking in the weight of your words.

"I would like a moment alone with Meepo. If you all would please see that Calcryx is returned to his chamber," Yusdrayl says, switching to Common for the group's benefit. From her tone, you can tell that it's less of a request and more of an order.

"Go with them. Be good," she tells Calcryx in Draconic.

"Very well then," Genken nods and ushers the others to take Calcryx back, but then turns back to Yusdrayl and switches back to draconic, "Don't be harsh on little one. Meepo only wished not to disturb you in your busy schedule. We happened by and as such offered our assistance. He is an excellent and ever so loyal member of your entourage."

Ondrej had been blankly staring off around the room while the conversation in draconic carried on. When he hears Yusdrayl speaking in common he snaps back to attention. "Meepo isn't in trouble is he? He's a fierce warrior. You should've seen what he did to those goblins."

"I certainly hope he's fine. Otherwise it would have been our actions that landed him in his current situation, and that I care not to think about."

"I will take that into consideration," Yusdrayl says in Common again. "Now go." 

Calcryx starts to shepherd you towards the room where you first met Meepo, nudging at your heels.

"Meepo will be okay. Thank yous," Meepo whispers, then turns and walks towards the throne.

Arisys turns reluctant to leave Meepo alone, but then walks in the direction Calcryx is leading them. Once in the room, Arisys would like to look around a little more now that Meepo is not around. Does she see anything that she missed before?

Investigation: 20 

Calcryx slinks into the large, partially destroyed cage that rests against the southern wall. He curls up contentedly around his little figurine.

Arisys, you don’t notice anything new about the room. Meepo’s bedroll still sits on the floor, and searching reveals it to be empty of any items. A large fire pit stands in the center. A bench is in front of the cage, and on it are several jars of green ink and a paintbrush. Green Draconic runes are scrawled on the walls, which you know to read “Here There Be Dragons.”

Is there any way Lar-Dun can repair Calcryx's cage with Tinker's Tools?

No, I don’t think they would be much help here. Several of the two-inch-thick metal bars that comprise the cage have been severed near the top and bottom, and are now completely missing.

Summer takes a look at the cage. "Maybe we can find something temporary to hold the cage," she says.

(Looking around, is there anything that could help fix it?)

You don't see anything in the immediate vicinity. However, Calcryx seems content to stay in the cage for now, despite the gaping hole allowing him to escape if he wanted.

"Maybe we should let the kobolds worry about repairing the cage." Arisys says as she turns to inspect the green paint. She pulls out one of her empty vials and proceeds to fill it with the paint. (I know it wont be a lot). She puts the cap on it and returns it to her bag. 

"Do you think Meepo is in trouble right now?" She asks to know one in particular. "Do you think they are planning an ambush? Can we trust them?"

"I don't think Meepo would have helped us if he knew they were going to kill us. Maybe he would've led us away further so that we wouldn't have to worry about Yusdrayl and the rest of them. Plus, they have an agreement with Oakhurst not to attack. We haven't done anything to harm them, so without breaking that treaty, they can't attack us." Lar-Dun says, trying to reassure everyone that they are fine.

"This is true," Genken nods in agreement with Lar-Dun. "Interesting though that a group of kobolds have secured themselves a dragon youngling. I wonder how deep into this cavernous ruin they had to travel to find it?" As they sit there, Genken sits close to the entrance they returned through, listening out for anything that might indicate someone returning, friendly or otherwise (Perception: 7).

After a few minutes, you hear a single set of footsteps coming toward you, though you aren’t sure who or what it is.

Genken gives a low whistle to the group and nods towards the sounding steps.

Upon the signal, Arisys looks upon the door in anticipation of who may enter. She is still slightly uncertain about this not being an ambush and clenches her quarterstaff at her side.

A moment passes and you see Meepo come around the corner, arms still full with Calcryx’s “treasure.”

"I hope you're not in too much trouble, little one?" Genken says in draconic to the kobold.
