I'd be happy to have you resurrect it! Are you okay with the recovery time?
===============================================
Want to play a bronze dragon while waiting for Ke'Sha to recover? :D

Also, I don't want to hear any more about trying to squeeze Landro in various parts of the dungeon. Anywhere you can get a 60-foot dragon you can fit a 9-foot tall 'human'. :wink:

Also, can't firbolgs change size at will?

Axid walks over to the door and looks at it rather intently. He attempts to teleport through the door.

Ke'Sha turns toward the dwarf to ask him to use it's clairvoyance around the walls of this room, only to just withness him vanish. "Guys, do we know where did Axid gone to?" He looks at Mourkul and commands him mentally to check beyond the walls of the room starting with the door the dwarf was last seen around.
===========================================================
(OOC: Well... It is somewhat tempting, but first it's up to TristenC, having a living 15HD dragon (Young adult) is not a small boost plus he knows where 7 sigils are so its almost third of the module, then it's probably giving up on Ke'Sha since in game time I think we should finish at least 2/3 of the dungeon if not all of it in 15 days + Not sure what will be the reaction of the bronze dragon once revived, he might be grateful, but Ke'Sha is evil serving the Lord of the undead... so that may be an issue as we already self experienced not long ago :)
If, generally speaking, we can have the dragon with us as NPC befriending the good part of our group, maybe seeking revenge against the cult, and maybe with a limited wish, the recovery time may be significantly shortened, I don't mind playing a dragon for a few in-game days. (few years in real life :) ) )

(OOC: Axid doesn’t vanish, he still is right there with a somewhat perplexed visage (for a dwarf) on his face.)

"Hey. Axid. I haven't seen you for a moment. I wanted to suggest you use your clairvoyance around the walls of this chamber as weli, but I sent Mourkol to check so we can wait to hear him."
=================================================
(OOC: Oh. Sorry. I thought trying to teleport means you being gone.)

[Picture to help with Bish' question about the walls. There is no clear indication they line up. There are no runes on the walls here]

Stephen examines the body (give me an int or wis check please. Your choice of one).

Mourkol sullenly peeks through the west door, Apparent dead end. He then passes through the door on the East and after a moment, returns. Hallway that splits.

===
-Firbolg PCs can change size once per day, Landro has not used it yet today.
-Bronze Dragons can polymorph self a certain number of times a day based on age.

Resurrecting the Dragon doesn't ensure it's cooperation, lol

"Thank you Mourkol, you are most useful. Now please go south on the south east corner, and south on the south west corner and tell us if it is other dungeon chambers or just foundations of the structure."

Jack will go check out the door on the left, described as the dead end.
Checking for obvious traps at the handle, then seeing if it is locked.
Then checking for less obvious traps if it is locked.
Then opening the lock.

Jag will stay near the Giantkin.

The dragon has probably been dead a few months. No longer than a year probably.


=====
It has been over an hour since the battle ended, the secret door searches took up a lot of time (10 mins for a 20x10 ft section)

Jack checks the door in the West wall, but finds no traps. Trying the handle he finds it unlocked.

Mourkol grumbles but obeys, silent disapproval speaking volumes. When he returns he reports, Naught but stone to the southwest for at least 10 feet. The southeas is above the small room we just left. Nothing between

"Hmm.. well.. Thanks for trying." Ke'Sha tells Mourkol and shifts his attention to the group. "So we go through the east door?"

"I think we should try this "dead end" first.

Jack will open the door then step aside.

Jag will make sure he is not lined up with the door when it opens.

Deciding he will “try again later” Axid watches as the door is opened. “No telling what kind of trickery could be afoot just opening a door in here.”

Jack opens the door, and catastrophe fails to befall him or the others. The new space revealed is a featureless 20x20 stone room with 15 foot ceiling.
