Servius
Servius picks up the lightweight chain armor. "I've read of this. It sits like clothing, but will turn a blade. This armor may be worth more than my parents' printing press."
Gently, he puts it on while the others deal with the egg - something he doesn't have strong feelings about, although rescuing a dragon is always worthwhile in terms of making the important people happy.

"I'd rather face this big, heavily armored orc from a hundred feet away, by himself, than move on and let him find a way out of the elevator. Goronglix,"
(the studious wizard easily pronounces the unusual name) "Can you release the elevator to open on this floor once we are ready?"

If the group agrees, he'll suggest they take up positions around the center area, far from the elevator, and prepare to blast the orc as soon as the doors open.
