Since our missions have always technically been for the masks, and not a killing all of Tiamat's servants or the dragons that serve her… I believe that we should definitely retreat. Yes, we have gained something a reputation as dragon slayers but in this cast I feel we can leave and perhaps come back later.

I have indeed heard about Waterdeep: Dragon Heist, Seath. Did you know there is already a sequel, though? It's 'Waterdeep: Just Hit Stuff Hard No Matter The Circumstances, Original Plan, or Primary Objective'. I heard in the final scene the PC's pound their chests really hard in front of some 'ladies'. Sounds amazing!

Hey, I was really tempted to fight and kill everyone too once the cave-in happened, (Laugh). If we didn't have this super important mask, I'd stay and fight with Poljen for sure. I also didn't know about the teleport scroll until someone mentioned it. The clay golem and lair actions push the encounter over the top though.
Perry mainly wants to kill Neronbutt and save the kobolds.
Honestly, in my personal opinion, I don't see the dragoness being the sort to just let things go and run off once we disappear. I have the consideration that she might try to hunt us down and even perhaps look for the sky castle to attack. Admittedly though I could be wrong.
Ugh, like Paul/Poljen, I too feel gross about teleporting out of there, but it would've been too tough I think and too risky to fight there. A tough call to be sure. Sorry Kyr, looks like more elves are going to die while we deal with getting the mask to safety. .
