"Well i was thinking we follow the swath of devastation going in the way the trees fell down since that should be the way the creature was travelling. Although i guess this does rule out it being a creature overly interesting in protecting the forest"

Unless of course this is an illusion?

disbelieve devastation
[roll0]
As the group continues to travel and search, they finally hear it.
The dragon.
Sleeping, it's mighty (still a small dragon, but ya know) lungs inhaling and exhaling slowly.

Once they found the beast Ilthea found herself struggling to feel the requistie anger and hatred to summon a killing blow, instead she felt rather an ambivalence towards this small creature.
"These dragons are fell creatures, but surely there is something to be said for sparing the life of one so young. I cannot believe this creature could so effectively terrorise these locals. I propose we wake it and reason with it. It may tell us of things that we are as of yet ignorant."
I agree unless we need to killing it should be a last resort. However in case it does attack us perhaps the rest of us should spread out so we will not be caught in the same blast. So who wants to wake it then?
"It is too far yet for me to feel if there is an evil presence about it, but dragons of its kin generally are, Samuel."
Turning to the elf, Ilthea, do you suggest that the fiend may have family as well? If so, it may not be wise to treat it with hostility..." A pause. "If, indeed, it is ever wise to treat a dragon such."
"Kin perhaps, but I am not well acquainted with the properties of young dragons. I could not tell you if this creature could cause much damage. Even if it is the perpetrator, I feel we ought to choose reason over force, Osan Emir"
Following Osan statement. “As am I, I’ve had to talk my way out of a few things. But I think I would do more harm than good, being what I am.” He quickly scans the area near the dragon. “I believe that I would be more helpful from the woods, in case things go wrong.”
Spoiler
Looking for the box and anything else that I would find helpful
Spot (1d20+5)[19]
If no one objects to me heading into the woods I’ll head there when we decide to wake the dragon.
Spoiler
Move silently (1d20+7)[9]
Hide (1d20+7)[8]
Ready bow to strike at sign of danger or at signal if we have one. Taking in to consideration a grumpy wake up call.

You spot the box next to a tree, about ten feet from the dragon.
The dragon seems to stir.

Tell everyone to stop and then ask Feo to try and retrieve the box, reminding him to check for traps on it. Then get him to put some significant distance between himself and them and then wake the dragon (see next spoiler). If the dragon wakes up before then she will step forward and cast Lullaby.
If he doesn't tell her, she will proceed to:
Spoiler
Wake the dragon by talking loudly to Osan Emir about how beautiful and majestic the dragon is (standard flattery). If that fails she will sing a song as loud as she can (again aiming to flatter the dragon).
Perform-Sing: (1d20+6)[15]
Seeing the dragon stir he lower's his voice to a whisper. "I think i see the box we're after about ten feet away from the dragon. I can go after it if you want me to, but i think that dragon is going to wake up sooner rather than later."
Ilthea kicks plan A into action: She starts by moving forwards and singing a lullabby to the dragon [link in post above- DC 12] to reduce it's chances of spotting Feo, and she waves him forwards to retrieve the box.
Feo quickly stiffens as Osan shouts out. What is he trying to do? Wake the Dragon? He looks to make sure the dragon is still asleep. only to find it was awake. I was too focused on the box to notice the dragon waking up!? I better remember to thank Osan if I survive this. Moving as little as possible he looks around to see if he can find a better spot to hide.
Spoiler
Since Osan is providing a distraction and Ilthea is still singing I believe that sufficient to keep the dragon occupied.

Feo succeeds in making it to the bushes.
The dragon calls out across the distance
"You there, what business have you in my forest?"

"Oh Magnificent one," Ilthea responds "We are but about mundane matters, something only trivial compared to your greatness."
"I apologise for any disturbance, but when I saw your beautiful scales, I could not help but sing of their wonder for my friends."

"Of course, mighty lord!" Ilthea continues, hoping that they don't leave Feo stranded, not now that he has the box they wanted. "But if you enjoyed my words, then, I pray, listen to my song. My friends will attest to my talent, and it would be bolstered by such a magnificent muse such as yourself."
This could be going better. Feo thought as he watch what was going on. All this for a box? He looks at the box in his bag before closing it up. And the jig would be up if I'm caught. Come on Feo think. He looks around for a plan to come to him.

looking around me for anything small that looks like a dragon would hoard that i can grab without blowing my cover. if nothing around me looking to see if there are dead people around. or gold pieces laying around.
I'm assuming that there are at least some that would have a coin pouch
