Crypt/Eternal Caves - Majority of group
A silence fills the room as the group finishes off the beholders. The other group is long gone, and with the ice blocking the way it is impossible to see which way they went. Which means they are now ahead of the group, apparently knowing which way to go.

Tanis was rather amazed at how quickly they despatched the Beholders, and she immediately started wondering if this was a trap or just here to slow them down??? She turned and looked at the huge mounds of gold coins, gems, jewellry and other precious golden artifacts and treasures. She bent down and took a several handfulls of gems and coins and put them in her pockets, ignoring the look from Ivor.
She turned her attention to the darkened room that the Beholders had come from, "Time to find an exit".

((I could have sworn you posted something about the composition of the patrols in the area, but I can’t find it. I’m going to post based off what I remember; if I’m misremembering the details, let me know).)
Aleron looked for the biggest group of shadow creatures he could find. Once found, he cast Disguise Self to appear as one of them and burned another illusion to make a seeming of a silver dragon, just at the edge of sight for the shadow creatures such that it seemed reasonable the ‘dragon’ didn’t know he was being observed. He then made it shape change into the cloaked man trying to break into the vault, and sent it running off in that direction, slipping into the back of the pack where he could hopefully make a break for it if he was discovered. Once they drew just out of sight of the vault, he broke off quietly and found a spot to hide so he could observe.

"Well, if you could kindly make a wall of ice not there anymore while I help our friend Ivor here not bleed to death, we could move on." Raistlin pulled out one of his clean shirts. and this one was hard to steal too... "You're going to pay me back for this one day, I hope you know." Raistlin told Ivor. Using the shirt as bandage material (Yes, he has to cut it up ( )), Raistlin binds the worst of Ivor's wounds.

Kerym stares at the spirit a moment. Several questions flow through his mind. He sits at the water's edge, and decides to ask a few of them. More putting them in a string of questions, without giving her the chance to answer between them. He is quite excited about the chance to gain knowledge from her.
"So, yes and no? What do you mean by that? How long have you been here? Have others seen you? Or perhaps heard you, without seeing? Are you able to travel from these waters, or are you stuck here?"

Aleron was disappointed; the moment ‘his’ patrol caught sight of the ‘dragon’, every last one of them turned and fled. But this wasn’t an unsalvageable situation; Aleron directed his illusion to approach a few more patrols in a similar manner, then slipped back to the vault to observe what transpired there when the lock breaker got reports of the ‘dragon’ menacing his forces.

Kerym
The spirit seems to find the questions amusing, especially how they are delivered rapid fire. "As I said..the healing comes from the water and magic in the water..and I am part of both. So while I do not have a direct hand in the healing..that which makes me what I am..does." she swims around, of course very gracefully..being made of the water.
"I do not know how long I have been here, the tides come the tides go." ((some creatures do not really have a sense of 'time')). "I do try to take great care for mortals not to see me, but I am sure some may have heard my song...and some may have seen me without approaching me."
She looks to the edge of the shore, and you notice a distant..almost longing look in her eyes. "There is one way I can travel from these waters..but it would require my complete trust in somebody. I can travel in any water, even something as small as a canteen. However.." she hesitates "whoever held the canteen would have me at their mercy if no other water was around for me to transfer to. If they spilled it out, and the water was lost..I would parish."
Aleron
The cloaked figure seems to be getting upset at their lack of progress. They are throwing some powerful spells, mostly dark magic, and so far nothing is working. When one of the shadow creatures finds him and reports about the dragon..
"A young silver you say?" His voice is dry and raspy, bringing to mind a wind from a crypt. "Tell the patrols to not confront the creature, we do not need a battle with a dragon right now." from Aleron's vantage point he can see the figure, but the figure would be hard pressed to notice Aleron. When the figure removes his hood, aleron can see that a skull is where the face should be.
The cloaked figure is one of the undead, and Aleron's arcane lore says that it is a Lich.
"I can not break these seals without many sacrifices..and we are getting short on time. Gather the patrols..I need fresh blood..and more army. The nearest town will have to do for my purposes."
One of the shadow creatures hisses "It is said that town is protected by a dragon Master."
The lich curses. "The other town is too far..we will never get this vault open. Very well, we will have to abandon the attempt to get into the vault for now. We will have to find another way to get the items we need. We leave at the darkest hour."

((Sooo glad I didn’t try to attack that guy outright! XD))
Aleron waited for the lich to gather his (Her? Its?) forces, hanging around the edges and gathering intelligence while his disguise spell lasted and hiding out of sight otherwise.
((I was a little foggy on what they’re doing based on that last paragraph; if they’re going to be attacking the town I’ll use Sending to warn Garren (you remember the keeper of the mews, who I left in charge?) of the lich’s approach, and tell him to evacuate the town and warn the next one over too. I can provide exact wording if necessary. If they’re giving up and going away entirely, I’ll stay behind and examine the vault, maybe see if I can’t find that Silver and talk to him; at the very least he should know that a lich helping to destroy the world was sniffing around his door.))

((They are not going to attack the town, they apparently have another way of finding something to trade for the crown. The vault is not the dragons, it apparently is Walkers. He just came here to gather enough to trade to the dragon that does have the crown)).
Come nightfall, the Lich and its minions leave to whatever destination they have in mind. After they are gone, Walker goes to the vault and opens it. Inside it is not very full, but you notice a few items you can not even recognize. You are not even sure they are something from this world. He picks out a few things and packs them up. "Now..we can head straight to the dragon that has the crown..or if you have another suggestion I am all ears."

((Explains a lot. *checks* Ah, I guess Walker did say something along those lines a while back.  Oh well.))
“I suppose we could follow them, and try to foil whatever backup plan they have, but that would take time which I do not believe we have.” Aleron shook his head. “And I tried experimenting with the scroll; it won’t let itself be left behind. Just let me bolster the defenses here first, if I may.”
((If there’s any writing on the vault doors, I cast Sepia Snake on it. Was going to add Explosive Runes, too, but I checked the specifics and that might not be such a good idea.))

As you are adding the spell you feel the familiar 'tug' from the scroll. Right after you finish that spell you find yourself tracing a triangle form on the door, and spouting a new spell ((You will find you also are able to scribe the spell if so inclined)) Even though you are using your finger the triangle is visible and glowing yellow for about 60 seconds..then vanishes.
((Spell : Aleron's Eye : Level 3 spell. Duration : Lasts until triggered)). Places a magical trap on an object, that triggers if anybody tries to interact with the object ((ie if placed on a door, if somebody tries to open the door, if on a spoon somebody trying to use the spoon, etc)). Sets off a mental alarm in the casters head, and if the caster concentrates at any time within the next 24 hours of the alarm they can see and hear anything that happens within 20' of the trap. Further the items enchanted do NOT register as magical (unless normally so) until the trap is triggered.))

((Awesome!  *plots chaos for new toy*))
Aleron completed his casting, slightly surprised by the results. Nevertheless he completed the preparations and turned to Walker.
"There. Shall we go on?"

He nods, and leads the way..as he is the one who knows where he is going. The trip is very quiet..which is slightly worrying in itself. Both of you arrive to the entrance of the lair of the dragon that holds the crown. Walker cautions.."Dragons are very proud and vain creatures. If they even perceive an insult they might view you as a snack, though this one is not as bad as some." He leads the way in.
The dragon is slightly small for a dragon, and it has a very uncommon frill on its head. It is long and sleek, and you notice that its wings are almost gossamer like. Interestingly enough it's horde is small, but filled with very rare items..some that are even obviously artifacts of forgotten civilizations from long long ago. As it is a young dragon, this is highly unusual. Also its hide seems to glisten more then shine like most of its kind, almost rainbow hued more then anything. It might have some fairy dragon in its blood.
"Well, visitors this time of day?" The voice is feminine, strong, and almost playful in tone. "Thief, town champion come to slay the wicked dragon, or perhaps lost?"
Walker gives a bow. "None of the above M'lady. We have come for a trade. I will let my companion explain if it suits you?"
The dragon leans its head toward you, stretching its rather long neck, focusing one eye directly on you. "Makes no difference to me who speaks..one will do as well as the other."

While Raistlin patched up Ivor, Tanis inspected the large hall and the dead beholders. In the room beyond the dead beholders she discovered evidence of a fire and food, in fact the embers were still smoldering. Tanis could smell the stew that had been recently consumed. "Someone was here with the beholders!", she thought. She turned back towards the others and strided over and with a commanding "Get up now!", she barked "we're not alone!". She forcibly pulled Ivor into a standing position, "we have to find where they have gone. There is no exit in the next room, but someone has recently been here and left without us seeing them". And staring intently at Raistlin, "we don't have all day. Find something!".

Kerym sits, thinking about her response to his last question. He looks toward Caranesh, then back.
"So, you can't leave your waters. You wouldn't know anything of the golden acorn then, I'd guess. Though, you do look as though you'd like to get out of these waters, and see what there is in the world, much like I do. I am able to, though, without much assistance of others, and you require such assistance. Well, maybe you'd love to travel with me? Go here and there, learning what there is to be learned. I would love to have you come along. It would be great to have someone along to possibly answer some questions, should the right ones arise. You may have overheard some random bit of information from someone who bathed in your waters at some point. Plus, a second set of eyes could be useful for studying things."

First...Eternal caves...
There are exactly 5 directions the group can go. Back the way they came, the way the man with the three ogres and beholders came (which only one character actually saw the man and the ogres and which way they came) and three tunnels that the ogre/man was headed toward.
Canesh (spelling)
"The knowledge of water runs deep. Any item that has touched any lake, river, ocean, or stream I have at least passing knowledge of. Sadly, only passing knowledge unless it has some how managed to find its way to this water specifically. I know a little of the acorn, but just that it is an object of mysterious powers to grant its holder wisdom. As for travelling..." the spirit thinks about it.."I would have to trust you with my very existence..do you know of Jinn? A canteen would work much like a bottle does for some of them. I could vanish into it, or come out of it in humanoid form..but every night I would needs rest inside of it..or by morning I would parish."

(Hm. Thought I put something to the affect of a canteen down as one of my items. I know it came to mind. Well, I'm sure it would be standard gear.)
"I've heard of Jinn."
Kerym hops into the water, and dips his canteen in, filling it up.
"I have a canteen here, if you want to trust me enough to travel with me. I'll have to be sure to get another one if you do. I'm sure you don't want to be drank up."

The figure nods and placing her hand over the canteen top mumbles some magical words (Even with a great arcane roll this would not be something that would be known..it is a spell only elemental spirits would know). She becomes more solid..which leads to an interesting problem that might not have been considered. She is sans clothing..might be best until clothing can be located for her to ride inside the canteen. Though..she can also assume water form..which while humanoid would not cause as much as a stir as a naked human female.

Raistlin reports his findings, and tells the others what path the creatures (ogers and such) came down, as well as the path he thinks they went along, but Raistlin does not know which one that is. "It seems that they have been exploring these caves for a while, I found footprints along every path. We should try exploring all three, but I don't know if Ivor is good to go off on his own just yet." ((This report was to Tanis))

Aleron bowed low, instantly all court manners. Walker was going to be getting payback for that near miss of a faux pass...
"Your Fairness, thank you for your generosity in granting us your time. I pray you will forgive me for dispensing with most of the pleasantries; we have come to you on a mission of the most dire urgency.
As you may already be aware, a destructive cult of Yenir has wiped out most of Marik. We believe they wish to spread their blight across the entire world, even threatening your noble self; my companion and I are seeking to end the threat with a ritual to counter their efforts, but to that end we require the Crown of Destiny. ((Which, looking back, ought to be a surprise for Walker. )) Would Your Fairness be willing to part with it? I assure you we can offer appropriate compensation in return."
