The dragon’s acid attack hits Spirit with such force that the aging panther is thrown against the rock wall and collapses. Spirit's motionless body lays there in the darkness, with fumes rising from the black fur.
This post has potentially manipulated dice roll results.
Preemptive
Bel will sneak up behind the dragon while he is distracted and make jump as high on his back as possible sinking his sword into him. The hang on for dear life.
The dragon is engaged with Bel in the water, and knows exactly where he is. In fact, Bel is the only one engaged with the dragon. Bel understands that sneaking simply isn’t an option right now—he would have to create a distraction and find someplace to hide first.
// Bel, you may restate your turn. Hiding isn’t possible where you are, currently. //
Bel makes it to shore with the dragon in close pursuit! 15 feet away is the shining shield that Aregarak has previously spotted, and all around lie piles of indiscriminately hoarded, glistening treasure and dwarven manufactured items.
// Lana is up, and GB is on deck. The dragon is just below the water’s surface, surrounded by yourselves, and about 15-20 feet away from everyone right now. //
Nightscale snorts out some water in a scaly chuckle. “You come into my home, armed, to pilfer my belongings? There will be no discussion while you are so armed, winged one. Leave or die.”
She plunges back below the surface of the lake, drenching Bel and Aregarak in a huge splash of water.

// Unless I use my action to disengage! and then swim for it! which is what I'm going to do - I am not built for underwater combat //
// its sad about the cool visual effect - I was hoping maybe something like lethal shock to everything in my 10 foot radius hehe //

Aregarak, meanwhile, reaches the island and dry ground, where he is surrounded by the glittering treasure hoard of the dragon.

What do I see in this pile of treasure? Anything that might be useful? Or just coins and gems etc

There is a spear haft sticking out of the nearest treasure pile, within arm’s reach, and a shining shield about 20 feet away.
// These are just items that you can see plainly. You can of course use your action to search through some of the treasure if you wish ;) //

Yeah I suppose while I have time I'll see what I can find, and jam my pockets full of coins too

// Aregarak still has a bonus action and one free equipment interaction if he likes, but otherwise it’s Bel’s turn! //

//oh, I thought he was after the Big Guy. Sorry//
knowing he doesn’t have a chance battling a dragon in water, Bel makes a swim for the nearest shore.

Lana screams in agony and anger as she sees her beloved friend fall so violently she draws her bow back and fires an arrow quickly at the dragon
Bow Attack 9

// while I'm searching the loot - I'll keep a mental note about where that spear is because it could be useful at some point to throw at the dragon //

Lana’s arrow disappears into the water, where the dragon is seeking cover.
// GB is up! After that it’s the dragon’s turn. //

GB swoops down toward Lana. He looks to Spirit and touches his chest, casting Mage Armor on himself.
He shouts at the dragon "GB may not like cat but wished it no harm. What do you want dragon beast?"
